“Being around Keiton, it doesn’t take you very long to realize that he’s a Cowboy,” Boynton said. “He has a tremendous passion for this University and this program. He’s served in every role imaginable for this program over the last 10 years, and he’s someone that we would have really missed had we not been able to keep around.

“He’s an unbelievable asset, and no one can better tell the story of what it’s like to be a Cowboy than Keiton Page. I really look forward to working with him in this new role.”

Page was the Cowboys’ leader in career 3-pointers until Phil Forte broke that record of 299 on Jan. 28 against Arkansas. Page reloads on a staff that now includes Boynton, associate coach Lamont Evans and assistant coach John Cooper. There is still a third assistant coach spot open.

“I’m extremely excited to work with coach Mike,” Page said. “What stands out most about him is how much of a people-person he is, and how much he shows the players that he genuinely cares as much about them off the court as on it.

“I was recently in all of these players’ shoes, and I can relate to just about everything they’re going through – the lows and the highs. So, I’m excited to join coach Mike in helping the next generation of Cowboys grow and develop into standouts on the court, in the classroom and in the world.”

Page takes over for Gonzaga alum Stephen Gentry who followed Brad Underwood to Illinois as a special assistant.
