Coach Mulligan's teams have finished in the Orange County Top Ten countless times and remain a powerhouse, high quality basketball program.

Coach Mulligan is very proud of his players both on and off the court.  Over half his scholar athletes have GPA's of 3.5 or above and continue on with their education at a higher level.  Coach Brian learned early on to mentor and encourage a solid foundation in academic and athletic success from his father, the legendary Bill Mulligan, who coached winning teams at Saddleback, Irvine Valley College and UC Irvine.  

After Coach Brian Mulligan worked as a graduate assistant at UC Irvine in 1984, he quickly rose through the ranks as a top assistant coach at Capo Valley High School, head coach at Orange Glen High School in San Diego and top assistant coach at Irvine Valley College.  He returned to Capo in 1995 and has produced winning, successful teams for our boys basketball program ever since.

Coach Mulligan graduated San Clemente High School in 1979 where he proudly holds a 35 year old free throw shooting record that he claims will never be broken!  He played two seasons at UC Irvine and graduated with a degree in Social Ecology. He later earned his Master's degree in Education from Azusa Pacific University. 

Coach Mulligan resides in San Juan Capistrano with his beautiful wife, Laura, their children, Abby and Charlie, and their energetic Labrador Retriever, Duke.  In his free time Coach Brian and Laura love to visit their daughter Abby at Bosie State and watch Charlie's rugby and volleyball games at San Clemente HS. He thanks his family for all their support and looks forward to another exciting Capo Valley Boys Basketball season!
