From 2010-2013, Coleman was an assistant under Tim Collins at California Baptist University, returning to the men's game after a year as the women's assistant at NCAA Division I Cornell University.

Coleman spent six seasons at Boise State. In addition to his coaching duties, Coleman was the program's academic coordinator, helping place 13 Broncos on the Western Athletic Conference All-Academic Team, including Matt Nelson, who became Boise State's first-ever men's basketball academic All-American when he was named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American third team.
While at Boise State, the Broncos won one WAC championships and made appearances in the 2008 NCAA Tournament and the 2004 NIT. He helped develop four All-WAC first team selections, including Coby Karl, who went from a walk-on to All-WAC to the NBA as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers.
Before heading to Boise State, Coleman spent five years at Northwest Nazarene in Nampa, Idaho. While there, NNU won a Cascade Conference title, played in the 1998 NAIA Final Four and made two NCAA Division II tournament appearances.
His coaching career began at NCAA Division I Kansas State when he spent three seasons as a graduate assistant. The Wildcats played in the 1996 NCAA Tournament.
A 1994 graduate of Point Loma Nazarene, Coleman played there for three seasons after spending one season at Pasadena City College. While at PLNU, he started two years, served as the team captain as a senior and was voted the team's most inspirational player in 1992.
He graduated with a bachelor's in sociology and also received a bachelor's in psychology from Kansas State in 1997. He later earned a master's in interdisciplinary studies with a concentration in sports psychology, education, athletic administration and physical education from Boise State in 2004.
