Bob Boldon has had success at every stop - whether as an All-American player at Walsh University or as the Associate Head Coach at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi; arguably the most successful Division I independent basketball program in the nation. So, it was no surprise after he was named the University of Arkansas at Monticello's fifth head coach that Boldon brought the program back to respectability; but to the surprise of everyone, Boldon accomplished that task in just one year, taking a team that went 1-15 in the Gulf South Conference in 2003-2004 to the Gulf South Conference tournament in his very first year.

Boldon gave UAM fans a sign of things to come in the his very first game at Steelman Fieldhouse, as the Cotton Blossoms upset defending Gulf South Conference champion Henderson State, who had made it to the Final Four the previous year.

From there, the Blossoms went on to post an 8-8 record in GSC play and jump into the NCAA South Region rankings, climing as high as fourth in the region.

The Blossoms capped the miraculous turnaround with a win in the opening round of the GSC tournament over Alabama-Huntsville before falling to tournament runner-up and NCAA Tournament qualifier Valdosta State in overtime.

Boldon joined the Cotton Blossoms after serving the previous two seasons as an assistant to Jodi Kest at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, holding the title of Associate Head Coach his last season in Corpus Christi.

During his tenure in Corpus Christi, the Islanders posted a 15-12 record in 2002-03, and a 19-9 record in 2003-04.

Prior to joining the Islander staff, Boldon was an assistant under Kest at Gannon University in Erie, Pennsylvania. While at Gannon, Kest and Boldon helped lead their squad to the GLIAC South Championship and eventually to an NCAA National Tournament berth.

Before joining Kest at Gannon, Boldon served as an assistant at IPFW from 1999-2001. While there he helped the Mastodons make a 19-game improvement in just two seasons.

Boldon graduated Cum Laude from Walsh University in 1997 with a bachelor¹s degree in elementary education. He later earned a Master¹s of Liberal Studies from Indiana University.

While at Walsh, Boldon twice received All-American honors as point guard for the Cavaliers. Boldon was a recipient of the NAIA Hustle Award at the NAIA National Tournament, where the Cavaliers reached the semi-final game. Currently, Boldon is tops on the all-time Walsh University list in assists (775), fourth in scoring (1,694), and holds the school record for assists in a season (222) and game (17).

After graduation, Boldon began his coaching career with the women's basketball team at Walsh. In his only season as an assistant, Walsh won the school's first-ever National Championship in 1998. Boldon then moved on to Wilmington College, where he helped lead the Quakers to the HCAC regular season championship, and an eventual berth in the conference tournament.

Boldon and his wife, Diana reside in Monticello. They have a one year old son, Tyler.
