Dominique Bukasa Title: Assistant Coach Experience: Second Season Alma Mater: Sonoma State, '99 Email: bukasad@csus.edu Bio: Dominique Bukasa begins his second season on Sacramento State’s coaching staff after spending two years as an assistant at Fresno City College (2006-08). He will work with the Hornets’ post players and serve as the team’s travel coordinator, while also assisting with recruiting.     Bukasa, who has eight years of coaching experience, worked on a Fresno City College coaching staff that produced a 2007 California Community College State Tournament championship, back-to-back Central Valley Conference titles and a 62-16 combined record. Prior to Fresno City, he spent one season as an assistant at the College of Siskiyous (2005-06) where he helped coach the Eagles to a No. 1 ranking in the state for nine consecutive weeks. That marked the first time in school history that College of Siskiyous had received a top ranking in the state. Bukasa was also an assistant at Petaluma’s Casa Grande High School, where he helped guide the team to a 25-4 overall record and the 2003 league championship. After playing three years at Sonoma State (1997-00), where he was part of a nationally-ranked team that set the school record for victories (20 in 1998-99), Bukasa had a highly successful career overseas. He played four years of professional basketball in Belgium (2000-01, 2002-03) and France (2001-02, 2003-04), where he was a four-time all-league selection, and was part of a 2nd Division Belgium national championship winning team. During his time overseas, he also coached under-16 and under-12 club teams from 2000-03. Bukasa finished the 2001-02 season in France, came back to the United States to be an assistant at Casa Grande for the 2002-03 high school season, and went back overseas to finish his professional career. From 2001-07, he was involved with the 1% Club, a summer program that trains high school and collegiate basketball players in the Santa Rosa area. Ten players he helped train with the 1% Club went on to sign Div. I scholarships, including Angelo Tsagarakis (Oregon State) and Josh Akognon (Cal State Fullerton). Bukasa graduated from Sonoma State in 1999 with a degree in History, and a minor in political science. He graduated in July of 2008 with a master’s degree in kinesiology from Fresno Pacific.
