, before arriving at Cal Poly in 1995. When Cal Poly's head coach left in the middle of the 2000-01 season, Bromley became the interim head coach. At the end of the season, Bromley was given the job full-time, despite a lackluster 4-12 record as interim coach.
In 2002-03, just his second full season as the Mustangs' head coach, Bromley's team went 16-14, and reached the finals of the Big West Conference Tournament. The next three seasons were a struggle.

Tournament, but were defeated.
Bromley was fired by Cal Poly following the 2008-09 season in which he led the Mustangs to a dismal 7-21 overall mark and a 3-13 Big West record. Bromley left Cal Poly with the worst record (99-145) of any head coach in Cal Poly history.
