He played for Bowie State from 1983 to 1986, earning conference all-rookie honors in the 1984 season, and leading his team in scoring as a captain during his senior year.

After the 2007 season, he was named the head coach at Binghamton, where he guided the team to its first ever NCAA Tournament appearance in 2009 before being dismissed in light of an investigation into the Bearcat program that offseason.

[2][7] In two short seasons, Kevin Broadus vaulted Binghamton's basketball program to the top of the America East Conference.

Investigation into the actions of Broadus and the athletic department went past the university level and was being handled by the chancellor of the SUNY system, Nancy Zimpher.

It found that assistant coach Mark Hsu had committed secondary violations by providing transportation to players.

However, due to a lack of cooperation from people involved in the case, the NCAA was unable to determine whether major violations occurred.

Hours later, the three parties reached a settlement in which Broadus would resign and take a $1.2 million buyout in return for dropping all legal action against BU or SUNY.
