Miguel Bocachica is a highly respected basketball coach and program builder whose experience spans high school, scholastic, grassroots, and professional basketball. A Philadelphia native and graduate of Imhotep Charter High School, Bocachica played collegiately at LIU Brooklyn, the University of Great Falls, and West Chester University before spending two years playing professionally in Puerto Rico, a foundation that gives him unique perspective both as a competitor and a mentor.
His coaching career began at nationally-ranked Imhotep Charter, where he served as an assistant for three seasons. During that time, he helped lead the program to three Philadelphia Public League Championships and three PIAA State Championships while maintaining a consistent Top-5 national ranking — an extraordinary run of excellence that established the standard for his coaching career.
Bocachica went on to become Head Coach at West Catholic Preparatory High School, where he transformed the program into one of Pennsylvania’s premier basketball destinations. Over seven seasons, he guided West Catholic to its first-ever PIAA State Championship in 2023 and a second state title in 2025. His teams reached back-to-back Philadelphia Catholic League Final Fours, produced multiple Division I student-athletes, and maintained a 100% graduation and college-placement rate, a testament to his belief that basketball is a vehicle for life-long success.
His accolades include Philadelphia Catholic League Coach of the Year (2022), PIAA 3A Coach of the Year (2023), and Pennsylvania State Coach of the Year (2025), recognition that reflects both his competitive results and the culture he builds around his players.
Beyond high school, Bocachica has coached on the EYBL circuit with Team Final and served as Head Coach of the City Reapers at Overtime Elite, one of the nation’s most innovative and prestigious developmental basketball academies. He has also gained valuable NBA-level experience working alongside Klutch Sports, positioning him as one of the most well-rounded coaching minds in the country.
