RIP to former Fresno State coach Boyd Grant. I got to know Coach Grant when he recruited me in 1981. His teams could really defend. Great coach, great man.

Boyd Grant was the reason I went to Fresno State. As a writer.
You see, as a 10-year-old boy, I fell in love with Coach Grant’s basketball teams, with my family becoming early adopters in the Red Wave, the Bulldogs rabid traveling fan base.
I fell in eternal love with Coach …

Feeling 💔 We lost a good man and a great coach today. We are forever greatful to Boyd’s friendship, support and guidance. We offer our condolences to Coach Grant’s family. #BoydGrant

“It’s just a sad day today, it really is. He’s a legend. We’re going to miss him.”

➡️ former Fresno State center Art Williams, who followed Boyd Grant from the College of Southern Idaho and helped build the program those first three seasons.

So sadden to hear of the passing of former UK assistant Boyd Grant who was on Joe B. Hall’s first UK staff (1972-74). He left UK to be head coach at College of Southern Idaho, then Fresno St and Colorado St. He was 87. Grant is standing next to Kevin Grevey (35).

Sorry to hear of the passing of Boyd Grant. Have lots of great memories watching Grant’s Bulldogs in the early/mid 1980’s. I even petitioned my parents to name my younger brother “Jos” after Jos Kuipers (84-86).

The coaching world lost a great man today! I knew all about Boyd Grant from when I worked at Fresno State and I really had the opportunity to get to know him once I moved to Pocatello.

Boyd Grant was a legend – the start of red wave. He will be missed & he left a legacy in the players he coached & mentored to become men & leaders in our community!

I met Coach Boyd Grant my junior year of high school. Over the years he became a great friend, mentor, and leader. He was a brilliant basketball mind but even a greater person. RIP to a great one with a life well lived! Legend at @CSI_MBB @CSURams @FresnoStateMBB

We are still working on getting more details about the death, as family statement on the death is yet to be released.
