Who we are

Michael Boyd, a Hall of Fame athlete and seasoned coach, brings years of elite playing and coaching experience to Zero Dark Thirty Basketball Academy. As a former standout player, Boyd made history at Concord University, becoming the only player in the men’s basketball program to record over 1,300 career points and 500 assists. From 2011 to 2015, he played in 114 games, ranking 12th all-time in appearances and accumulating 1,321 points and 529 assists—good for fourth all-time in assists at Concord. His leadership helped secure 61 wins, including a 20-win season in 2014-2015. Boyd’s efforts earned him All-MEC First Team honors in 2015 and an All-MEC Honorable Mention in 2014. He was inducted into the Concord University Hall of Fame in October of 2023.

Before Concord, Boyd was a force at Lakota East High School in Cincinnati. Leading the Thunderhawks to a 23-2 record and their only outright Greater Miami Conference (GMC) championship, Boyd earned GMC Player of the Year, Butler County Player of the Year, and a spot on the All-Ohio 2nd team. His accomplishments solidified his status as one of Ohio’s top high school players. He was inducted into the Lakota Local School District Hall of Fame in February of 2023.

Boyd transitioned to coaching after his collegiate career, serving as an assistant coach at Concord University and later joining the coaching staff at Lakota East High School as a varsity assistant.
