Boyle, 55, is entering his ninth year with the Buffaloes and his 166 victories rank third all-time in program history. He owns five of Colorado's nine all-time seasons of 20-plus wins. Boyle is the first CU coach to lead the Buffaloes to seven consecutive postseason appearances and the first to guide the program to three consecutive NCAA Tournaments. His record at the CU Events Center is stellar, leading the Buffaloes to a 113–22 mark at home (.837) over the last eight seasons. He is the first CU coach to win 20 games in each of his first four years. “Tad continues to make Colorado more than relevant,” NCAA.com Basketball Writer Andy Katz said. “He has made them into one of the top teams in the West. Now you can count on Colorado being in play for the top tier in the Pac-12 and an NCAA bid. Colorado may have joined the Pac-12 for football first but the Buffaloes have been a boon in basketball." Boyle has led Colorado to 17 wins over ranked opponents, by far the best in team history. In fact Boyle coached teams, with a record of 17–32, have accounted for 28 percent of the program's wins over ranked opponents (61) since 1949–50. Boyle's postseason success is highlighted by a memorable run of four wins in four days to claim the 2012 Pac-12 Tournament championship. He owns more than half of Colorado's all-time conference tournament wins, with a 13–7 mark in that span (11–6 in the Pac-12, 2–1 in the Big 12). Boyle has led the Buffaloes to a conference semifinal or better three times. He is a perfect 8–0 as Colorado's head coach in the first round of a conference tournament. Overall Boyle's 18 postseason wins and .563 winning percentage (18–14) are tops in Colorado history.
