Assistant coach Jon Bollier joined the Georgia State women's basketball staff in May 2022 from Samford. He has also served on the women’s basketball staffs at Georgia and Belmont.
Bollier spent the last four seasons at Samford, including three seasons as an assistant coach before being elevated to associate head coach for the 2021-22 season. He also served as the program’s interim head coach in the spring of 2019.
Bollier was instrumental in the turnaround the program experienced during the 2019-20 season. After winning just 10 games the previous season, the Bulldogs improved to 18-14, and won the program's first Southern Conference regular-season title. The team then captured the SoCon Tournament title, punching their ticket to the 2020 NCAA Tournament.
A year later in 2020-21, Samford repeated as Southern Conference regular season champions while featuring the conference’s offensive player of the Year and leading scorer, Andrea Cournoyer.
Before going to Samford, Bollier served three seasons (2015-18) as director of player personnel at Georgia, including a stint as an interim assistant coach during the 2016-17 season.
That was his second tour at Georgia, where he first worked as video coordinator for three seasons from 2010-13.
In between, he spent two seasons as an assistant coach at Belmont, highlighted by a berth in the 2014 Women’s NIT.
Bollier played one season of basketball at Gardner-Webb University and one at Covenant College before receiving his bachelor's degree in sociology from Piedmont College in 2009. He added a master of studies in law from the Samford’s Cumberland School of Law in 2021.
Bollier and his wife, Libby, have one daughter, Sullivan.
