Danny Boisture, a former Michigan State assistant and Eastern Michigan football coach, died Friday from complications stemming from a blood disorder. He was 82.

Boisture was a standout receiver at the University of Detroit before entering coaching. He coached four seasons in the Detroit Catholic League, the last three at Detroit St. Mary’s of Redford. In 1959, he became an assistant at MSU under Duffy Daugherty and remained the offensive backfield coach there until 1967, when he became the coach at Eastern.
