Men's Basketball Assistant Coach Recognized as a Rising Star

George Washington University men's basketball assistant coach Zak Boisvert was recognized as one of the top 75 Rising Stars, according to Silver Waves Media, the organization announced on Tuesday.

Boisvert was lauded as one of the most impactful mid-major assistant coaches in the industry by Silver Waves, which has put out the list annually for the past five years. More than 20 coaches on previous lists have advanced into a head coaching role in that span.

In his first year at GW, Boisvert was primarily responsible for opponent scouting and game planning. He helped lead the Buff & Blue to their most overall wins (16), most Atlantic 10 conference wins (10) and first winning league record since 2016-17.

Prior to GW, Boisvert spent 11 seasons as an assistant coach at Indiana State, West Point, Maine, Fairleigh Dickinson and Iona.
