NAIA NEWS: Rocky Mountain makes Men’s Basketball Coaching Change

After 25 seasons at the helm, Rocky Men’s Basketball will have a new head coach on the sidelines as head coach Bill Dreikosen departs the program. 

Coach Dreikosen has been the head coach of the men’s program since 2000 and exits as the program’s all-time leader in wins, finishing the 2024-25 season with an overall record of 399-364. In that time, the Battlin’ Bears won the Frontier Conference regular season once (2014), the Frontier Conference Tournament four times (2002, 2003, 2013, 2014), and made seven national tournament appearances (2002, 2003, 2009, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2019). He led the Battlin’ Bears to an NAIA National Championship victory in 2008-09. 

“I am grateful to Coach Dreikosen for his lasting impact on Rocky Mountain College and our men’s basketball program.” Athletic Director Jim Klemann said. “I wish Bill the best in his future. We look forward to a new era of Battlin’ Bears basketball and finding the next coach to lead this accomplished program”. 

A national search will begin immediately for the next head coach of Rocky Men’s Basketball.
