In his role, he assists in all areas of the program, and specializing in defensive schemes.   The Aggie defense has been amongst the countries leaders in forcing turnovers, ranking in the top 50 6 of the last 8 years.  Vogt also assists in perimeter play and development, recruiting and opponent scouting and scheduling.

In back-to-back years, teams Vogt coached set single-season school records for the most Division I wins - 18 at Western Illinois and 14 at UC Davis.

"I am very excited to add Kyle to our staff," said head men's basketball coach Jim Les shortly after Vogt's hiring.

He will be a tremendous asset to our staff and an excellent resource for our players both on and off the floor."
