HEAD COACH JASON BONDE enters his third year as head coach after serving 12 years an assistant under the men’s basketball head coach Brian LaPlante.

Prior to coming to RCTC, Bonde was on staff at Southwest Baptist University, in Bolivar, MO for two years where he also earned his master’s degree in education. The Bearcats were 38-20 in that time and won a conference championship in 2007-08 (14-4) in the tough MIAA. Bonde started his coaching experience after finishing his playing career at Bemidji State University (MN) as a student assistant that saw the Beavers reach a 20-10 mark and their first-ever 20-win season. Bemidji State was 14-2 in conference play that season, earning a berth to the NCAA Division II tournament and leading the nation in 3-pointers per game, with 11.7. He also earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education.

Bonde has also coached two years at the high school levels, one year at Pine Island, MN and Century High School in Rochester, MN.

Jason also serves as the Director of RCTC’s TRIO program. He and his wife Sara have three girls Faith (14), Nora (9), and Alexandra (5).
