He served as the head basketball coach at University of North Carolina from 1919 to 1921.

Prior to Boye, Howell Peacock was the head coach for the North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball team.

Peacock had managed to make the Tar Heels one of the best teams in the South in the 1917–18 season, earning a record of 9–3,[1] but he failed to repeat his success in the 1918–19 season, with the Tar Heels earning a record of 9–7.

[2] Boye, a former World War I veteran, took over an experienced Tar Heel squad,[2] but even so, he only managed to obtain a 7–9 record his first year, including one loss to the Durham YMCA.

The Tar Heels did not secure a replacement for head coach for the next two seasons.
