Michigan native, Central Michigan graduate, and former Ferris State assistant Jim Lake enters his second season as an assistant coach on Andy Bronkema’s CMU men’s basketball staff. “Bringing Coach Lake back to Central Michigan was a high priority for me from day one,” Bronkema said. “Our history together and his skill set will be vital for our program. Jim and his wife, Kara, are CMU graduates, and his family is a great addition to the community. Jim is a relentless recruiter, but more importantly, his background as an educator and his commitment to teaching and developing our student-athletes will be elite. Jim’s head-coaching experience will allow him to be influential in every aspect of our program. His Wisconsin network will also increase our Midwest footprint. It’s great to add a third national champion with head coaching experience to our staff.” “Returning to Central Michigan is special for my family and me,” Lake said. “Working with Andy Brokema, a guy I couldn’t trust more as a coach and as a person, is an outstanding opportunity. I’m excited to share my passion with our student-athletes. Fire Up Chips!” Lake spent seven seasons (2018-25) as the head men’s basketball coach at NCAA Division III University of Wisconsin-Stout, where his teams excelled in scoring and achieved multiple program firsts. His proven track record of offensive innovation and player development provides Central Michigan with the potential to elevate its scoring and competitive success. His UW-St

Detroit native Raymoan McAfee, a former Ferris State assistant and player, enters his second year on Andy Bronkema’s at Central Michigan men’s basketball staff. He was elevated to Associate Head Coach on April 23, 2026. “Coach McAfee has proven himself in every step of his coaching career,” Bronkema said. “His experience and growth put him on par with any assistant coach in the nation. He does things the right way and puts people first, making it an easy promotion from within. Raymoan played for me while I was an assistant and head coach, he volunteered, and was my top assistant so there is a long history of relationship and trust. A Detroit native, he joined us from Wayne State, where he continued to grow as a coach. Raymoan’s intensity and detailed thought process are things I’ve grown to appreciate about him. Doing life together with like-minded, talented people is a priority for me, and having Coach Moan on board is comforting for me.” “My family and I are fired up to be in the Central Michigan and Mount Pleasant community,” McAfee said. “I’m excited to reunite with Coach Bronks and the rest of the staff. Coach has an incredible vision, and I believe in his process to bring championships to CMU.” He joined the Chippewas in April 2025 after three years at Wayne State as an assistant coach under head coach Bryan Smothers. During his tenure (2022-25), he contributed a 37-46 overall record, while 14 of his players earned Academic All-GLIAC honors. In 2024-25, Wayne State secu
