A new chapter in the history of Denver University men's basketball has begun with the appointment of Tim Bergstraser as head coach. The university's athletics division, under Vice Chancellor Josh Berlo, officially announced this decision on Monday, marking a significant milestone for the program. Fans eagerly anticipate Bergstraser's introduction at a press conference scheduled for Wednesday morning.

Bergstraser brings an impressive track record from his tenure at Minnesota State University Moorhead, where he transformed the Dragons' basketball team into a formidable force over three seasons. Under his leadership, the Dragons achieved unprecedented success, including three consecutive 25-win seasons—a first in the program's history. This resurgence began after a long hiatus since their last 20-win season in 2016-17. His expertise and proven ability to lead teams to championship contention align perfectly with Denver’s aspirations within the Summit League.

The future looks bright for Denver University's men's basketball team under Bergstraser's guidance. Not only does he possess a wealth of experience as both a player and coach, but he also emphasizes academic excellence alongside athletic achievement. During his time at Minnesota State Moorhead, his athletes maintained a commendable GPA of 3.4 while excelling on the court. With such a holistic approach to coaching, there is optimism that Bergstraser will elevate the entire program, fostering champions both in competition and in the classroom. His passion and dedication promise to inspire not just the players but the entire Pioneer community toward greater heights.
