Just a few months after finishing his second season on the Madison College men's basketball bench, Roy Boone is being promoted to associate head coach for the 2018-19 season. The move will coincide with Jamal Palmer being hired as the program's next head coach for the upcoming winter.

"I am very excited about the opportunity that I've been given, and working side-by-side with coach Palmer has been so enjoyable," said Boone. "I look forward to getting this program moving in a positive direction and working toward contending for conference championships and making national tournament appearances. I am excited about the experience and talent level we have returning, and look forward to recruiting new student-athletes that want to be a part of the WolfPack family."

"Roy is someone that I have known since moving to Madison and someone I have a deep respect for, as he is true asset to Madison College and the Madison Community," expressed Palmer, who has been with the program since 2015. "The work he does with our guys day-in-and-day-out are appreciated, not to mention what he does in the community mentoring young adults and helping develop their skills. I am excited to continue to work alongside him as we take this journey together and develop quality student-athletes."

Boone has been a prominent name in the Madison basketball community, from his decorated prep career at Madison East to his starring role with the Wisconsin Badgers during their memorable run to the 2000 Final Four to the creation and success of the Roy Boone Summer League for the area's best players. Boone's basketball playing career also included a stops at Coffeyville (KS) Community College (NJCAA Division I) and in several professional leagues. Prior to Madison College, his coaching track has included youth and prep stints with North East Side Youth Basketball (NESYB) and Madison East HS.
