Ken Broschart joined the High Point University men's lacrosse program as an assistant coach in August 2017.

On Monday, July 13, 2020 High Point University men's lacrosse Head Coach Jon Torpey announced the promotion of assistant Ken Broschart to associate head coach.
 
On September 29, 2020 The Iroquois Nationals announced the addition of High Point University men's lacrosse associate head coach Ken Broschart to the U18 Iroquois Nationals coaching staff as an assistant.

Broschart, who came to HPU after a 10-year stint at Michigan, moved to the position of offensive coordinator in the 2019 season after working with the face-off unit in 2018. He led the offense to a record breaking season with the most points (354), goals (232), assists (122) and best shot percentage (.340) in a single season. Under Broschart, the Panthers set program records in points (37) and goals (22) in a single game against UMBC (3/9/19). Two Panthers, Asher Nolting and Chris Young, broke the single-season program-record for goals with 44 in 2019 with Broschart in control of the offense. Nolting also set the program-record for points (92) and assists (48), while Young finished the 2019 season first in the NCAA in shot percentage (.595). Nolting was named SoCon Offensive Palyer of the Year in 2019 under Broschart. 

He worked with the face-off unit while assisting with the HPU defense and man-down unit in the 2018 season. Broschart's impact was immediately felt as the Panthers' face-off unit went from a 33.9 in 2017 to a 50.8 win percentage in his first season in 2018. He improved face-off specialist Davis Sampere's winning percentage from .370 in 2017 to .537 in 2018. 
 
Broschart came to the Triad after spending a decade in Ann Arbor, Michigan at the University of Michigan. He became the defensive coordinator as the program transitioned to NCAA competition in 2011. Similarly, while running all aspects of the defensive strategy and scouting, Broschart served as the program's recruiting coordinator.
 
Under Broschart's tutelage, LSM Chase Brown became an All-Big Ten selection by leading the conference in turnovers in 2016. Meanwhile, during the 2015 season, the Wolverine's goalie Gerald Logan finished fourth in the nation in saves per game (12.31/game) for Broschart's defense.
 
The Long Island native started his career at Michigan as an assistant for the university's Men's Collegiate Lacrosse Association (MCLA) Division I squad that went 76-2 and won three MCLA titles in four seasons. During that time he had a hand in all aspects of on-field coaching while also serving as the coordinator of the team's strength and conditioning program.
 
Prior to his time at Michigan, he was the head coach of the MCLA Division I program at the University of Arizona for four years. In those four seasons as the head coach he posted a 57-24 record and was the 2004 WCLL Coach of the Year.
 
Broschart also has USA National Team experience coaching the USA West National Team in 2007 as the team won titles in the Berlin Open and the Prague Cup. He also was the defensive coordinator in 2005 when the squad won the Asian Pacific Championship in Osaka, Japan.
 
The New York Institute of Technology graduate broke into the coaching ranks as a graduate assistant in charge of New York Tech's defense. That season the Bears posted a 13-1 record and claimed the NCAA Division II national title.
 
Before joining the New York Tech staff, Broschart was a three-time USILA All-America defenseman from 1997-2001. During his playing career, the Bears posted an impressive 40-12 record.
 
Broschart is originally from Hicksville, N.Y., but resides in High Point, N.C., with his wife Keekan and his two children Hadley and Kase.
