Tim Duryea enters his eighth season as an assistant coach with Boise State men's basketball in 2025-26. His experience and game planning helped the Broncos to three-consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances from 2022-24, behind increasingly efficient offensive performances.
Joining the Broncos prior to the start of the 2018-19 season, Duryea has been part of a coaching staff that's guided the team to a 151-81 (65.1%) record and five 20-win seasons. In that time, Boise State has averaged 73.4 points per game while shooting 45.4 percent from the field.
Last season, the Broncos tallied 15 games in which the team scored 80 points or more. Boise State's 15 such games were the second most in the Mountain West and resulted in a perfect 15-0 record.
Duryea's efforts on the offensive end led Alvaro Cardenas to becoming Boise State's single-season assist leader with 256. He also helped guide Tyson Degenhart to 2,000 career points and the top spot on the program's all-time scoring list.
Degenhart garnered All-Mountain West first-team honors, while Cardenas collected second-team accolades. Javan Buchanan—in his first year as a Bronco—took home the conference's Sixth Man of the Year award.
The 2023-24 campaign saw the team collect 22 wins and reach the NCAA Tournament for the third year in a row—a feat that was accomplished for the first time in program history. The Broncos averaged 75.1 points per game and finished in the top half of the conference in many offensive categories.
Culminating the 2022-23 season with a second-straight NCAA Tournament appearance, the Broncos finished the year 24-10 (13-5 MW) and second in the Mountain West. Tyson Degenhart, Max Rice and Marcus Shaver were all named to the All-Mountain West teams by the coaches and the media.
In 2021-22, the Broncos set program bests for total wins (27), conference wins (15) and consecutive wins (14) on their way to winning the Mountain West regular-season title outright and capturing the Mountain West Tournament crown—both firsts for the program.
Boise State earned a spot in the 2022 NCAA Tournament as the eight seed in the West Region—the highest seed in program history—thanks in large part to an offense that continued improving down the stretch. From the start of February through the end of the season, the Broncos jumped 56 spots, up to No. 85, in KenPom’s adjusted offensive efficiency metric.
Boise State averaged 75.9 points per game in 2019-20, after posting a field goal percentage of 46.9 in 2018-19, the team’s best in a decade.
The Broncos boasted four players averaging double figures in 2019-20, on their way to yet another 20-win campaign. Derrick Alston, Jr. continued his ascent by leading the way with 17.3 points per game. Justinian Jessup closed out his career as the all-time leader in three-pointers made at Boise State and in the Mountain West, breaking the previous league record held by Jimmer Fredette.
The offense improved throughout Duryea’s first season on staff in 2018-19, perhaps best exemplified by the play of Boise State’s three starting wings: Alston, Alex Hobbs and Jessup. The three Broncos not only ranked in the top 20 of the conference in scoring, but they also finished the season ranked in the league’s top 10 for field goal percentage. Alston was fourth at 49.2 percent, Hobbs sixth at 48.3 percent and Jessup eighth at 47.3 percent. Boise State was the only team to have three players rank in the top 10 in field goal percentage in the MW.
Prior to arriving in Boise, Duryea was the head coach at Utah State for three seasons from 2015-18. He was in Logan for a total of 17 seasons, as he was also an assistant coach for the Aggies from 2001-08 and the associate head coach from 2008-15.
In his final two seasons, Duryea coached one of the best backcourts in the Mountain West in Koby McEwen and Sam Merrill—both of which were All-Mountain West third-team selections in 2017-18. McEwen was also the 2016-17 Mountain West Freshman of the Year while Merrill shot 46.0 percent from behind the arc in two seasons with the Aggies.
Utah State boasted the top offense in the league in 2016-17, as the Aggies shot a Mountain West-best 46.1 percent from the floor and were No. 2 in 3-point shooting at 37.9 percent.
Prior to becoming head coach, Duryea helped Utah State to six NCAA Tournament appearances (2003, 2005, 2006, 2009, 2010 and 2011) and five regular-season conference championships in the Big West (2003) and Western Athletic Conference (2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011).
As associate head coach from 2008-15, Duryea headed a Utah State offense that consistently shot a high percentage from the field and was renowned for taking care of the basketball, as shown by an assist-to-turnover ratio that ranked in the top 25 in the NCAA in multiple seasons.
Utah State saw three players earn All-America status with Duryea on staff, as Jaycee Carroll (2007, ’08), Gary Wilkinson (2009) and Tai Wesley (2011).
Prior to his time at Utah State, Duryea was the head coach at Hutchinson (Kansas) Community College from 1999-2001. He compiled a 40-25 record in two seasons and led his team to back-to-back trips to the Region Six Championships.
Duryea graduated from North Texas in 1988 and immediately began his coaching career at Colorado State. He then returned to North Texas in 1993 and was an assistant there for four seasons before heading to Hutchinson CC as an assistant in 1997.
Beginning his collegiate basketball career at Texas Pan-American, Duryea later transferred to North Texas we he was co-captain in 1988. He helped lead the Mean Green to the NCAA Tournament.
Duryea and his wife, Angie, have three children—Tanner, Taylor and Kaylee.
