BU Athletics Finalizes Contract Extensions for Three Head Coaches

December 20, 2022

BOSTON – Boston University director of athletics Drew Marrochello has announced that three head coaches – Thomas Bohrer (men's rowing), Madeline Davis Tully (women's rowing) and Joe Jones (men's basketball) – have all recently signed multi-year contract extensions.
 
"These three coaches are great examples of the type of leaders we strive to have in the BU Athletics family," said Marrochello. "They are committed to providing a first-class experience for our student-athletes while guiding them to their goals and also caring for their overall well-being. We look forward to their continued success within their programs and we're proud to call them Terriers."
 
Entering his 15th season as head coach of the men's rowing program, Bohrer has helped BU become and remain a perennial power with 11 top-10 finishes at the Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA) National Championships. He has posted a cup record of 58-30 during his tenure and for five straight years (2014-18), all BU boats advanced to the IRA semifinals as well as nine top 6 finishes in the Varsity 8 at the Eastern Sprints. 
 
Davis Tully continues to keep the women's rowing program on an upward trend as she enters her sixth season at BU. The 2022 season produced her first Patriot League title as head coach as the Terriers earned their second league crown and first since 2014. For her efforts, Davis Tully was named the Patriot League Coach of the Year, and BU also sent three boats to grand finals at this year's Eastern Sprints.
 
Jones has accumulated 194 wins over 11-plus seasons at helm of the BU men's basketball program while leading the Terriers to five postseason berths, including a CBI appearance last season. He guided BU to the 2020 Patriot League tournament title and the 2013-14 regular season crown and his teams have finished in the top four of the conference standings eight times. Jones' win total is second in program history.
