Welcome CCS Boys Varsity Head Basketball Coach Bruce Bowen

Please join us in welcoming our new CCS Boys Varsity Head Basketball Coach, Bruce Bowen. Bruce, a three-time NBA Champion and eight-time NBA All-Defensive Team, former Spurs forward, made a name for himself in the NBA with his ability to stop the league’s best scorers. A 12 year NBA veteran, Bowen ranks sixth on the Spurs all-time list in 3PT-FG made and is just the fourth San Antonio Spur to earn All-Defensive honors three or more times joining David Robinson, Tim Duncan and Alvin Robertson. In 2012, his jersey #12 was retired.

With a strong desire to aid those less fortunate, especially youth and young adults, Bowen established The Bruce Bowen Foundation, which is committed to supporting and enhancing the lives of youth in underserved communities. The Bruce Bowen Foundation focuses on promoting programs that build character, nurture self-respect, confidence, responsibility, and camaraderie. Additionally, The Bruce Bowen Foundation awards scholarships to youth who need assistance in their quest for a higher education.

A role model and a leader on and off the court, Bowen is the proud father of two boys, Ojani and Ozmel Bowen.
