Cal Poly Pomona promotes assistant

Ever since he stepped onto campus as a Cal Poly Pomona student-athlete in 1998, Damion Hill has delivered immeasurable contributions to the university community.

His leadership as assistant coach helped the Broncos’ men’s basketball team capture the program’s first-ever national title in 2010. His abilities as a mentor have helped CPP student-athletes graduate and move on to successful careers. With the guidance of Hill and the rest of the coaching staff, several Broncos are playing basketball professionally overseas.

On Wednesday, head coach Greg Kamansky announced the promotion of Hill as the program’s associate head coach. The 2012-13 season will mark the 11th for Hill as a CPP coach and the Broncos’ achievements during that span are certainly substantial. CPP has reached the Elite Eight four times and along the way, Hill has coached two All-Americans: Jeff Bonds and Larry Gordon.

When Hill moved into the assistant coaching role at CPP, the men’s basketball program possessed an all-time record of 732-731. Ten years and 17 NCAA postseason victories later, the Broncos hold a 939-819 all-time mark. During Hill’s tenure, the team has captured three California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) titles.
