B. J. Hill (basketball)

Benjamin Joseph Hill (born May 17, 1973) is an American college basketball coach and former head men's basketball coach at the University of Northern Colorado.

Career
He began coaching the Bears in 2010–11, when he guided them to the school's first-ever NCAA Division I tournament berth, where they would lose in the Round of 64. He won the Big Sky Conference Coach of the Year that season.

Hill was fired on April 21, 2016 following an NCAA investigation into possible rules violations. He was found to have personally completed coursework for a prospect and enlisted a trainer to do the same. In addition, nine members of his staff completed coursework for players, paid for prospects' classes, and arranged for off-campus practices with an academically ineligible player. In December 2017, Hill received a six-year show-cause penalty, effectively banning him from coaching at an NCAA member school during that time.
