Roberto Bergersen
- Title:
- Assistant Coach
Roberto Bergersen enters his fourth season as an assistant coach with the Boise State men's basketball program in 2025-26. A member of the Boise State Hall of Fame, Bergersen is recognized as a key contributor in player development and recruiting.
Joining the staff prior to the start of the 2022-23 campaign, Bergersen has coached three 20-win teams, who have combined to win 72 games. In that span, the team collected a 40-16 (71.4%) mark in Mountain West conference play and made the NCAA Tournament twice.Â
A former Bronco student-athlete, Bergersen returned to Boise State after serving as an assistant coach at Eastern Washington for the 2021-22 season, where he coached his son, Rylan, who was playing his senior season for the Eagles. Bergersen helped the Eagles to an 18-16 record, and EWU earned an invitation to The Basketball Classic postseason tournament.
Â
In April 2022, Bergersen returned to his alma mater, where he played from 1996-99. During his Bronco career, Bergersen was named the 1999 Big West Conference Player of the Year after averaging 22.2 points per game and leading Boise State to the 1998-99 Big West regular-season championship in his senior season. He was named first-team All-Big West in both 1998 and 1999, and was a national finalist for the 1999 Chip Hilton Player of the Year Award.
He earned his bachelor’s degree at Boise State in social science in 1999, and was inducted into the Boise State Hall of Fame in 2007.
Following his collegiate career at Boise State, the Atlanta Hawks selected Bergersen with the 52nd overall pick in the 1999 NBA Draft. He spent much of his 11-year professional career in the Continental Basketball Association/NBA D-League, where he played for the Idaho Stampede.
In 2008 he helped the Stampede win the NBA D-League Championship. His No. 11 jersey was retired by the organization and still hangs in the rafters of Idaho Central Arena in Boise. The Washington native also spent time playing in France, Italy, Belgium, Spain and Turkey.
Bergersen is the co-founder of Hoop Dreams Idaho High School Basketball Club, an AAU program based in Boise. He was with the club from 2007-21, helping develop nearly 100 boys and girls that went on to become college student-athletes, including 26 at the NCAA Division I level.
In 2017-18, Bergersen took a position as the head men’s prep school basketball coach at Kanakuk Link Year Prep in Branson, Mo. There, he led his team to a CPG National Championship and produced 12 scholarship athletes.
Bergersen and his wife, Rhonda, have three boys, Rylan, Ryzin "Biggie" and Rayzhon "Ray Ray." Rhonda was a college soccer player at the University of Washington, where they met when Roberto began his collegiate career with the Huskies in 1994.
