Biography

A native of Berea, Kentucky, Todd is a graduate of Eastern Kentucky University. He entered the collegiate coaching ranks after fourteen seasons at two Kentucky high schools. He and his wife, Renee, have three children: Brooke, Katie, and Robert.[2]

Coaching career

Todd spent seven seasons as head coach at Berea Community High, building a record of 166–54 and finishing 3rd in the 1998 Kentucky Sweet Sixteen. He then spent seven seasons at Lexington Catholic High, compiling a record of 225–26, with three Kentucky State Championships and two second-place finishes. He is the only coach to reach the state finals in four consecutive seasons. His 2005-06 team, with five All-State players and seven who would go on to play in Division I, was 35-1 and ranked #3 in the final USA Today girls high school poll, earning him the EA Sports National Coach of the Year award.[3]

Todd moved into the collegiate coaching ranks at Division III Transylvania University. Taking over a team that had gone 8–17 in 2006, he led them to a 19–9 record and a third-place finish in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference. After nearly upsetting conference champion Manchester in the conference tournament final, Transylvania received the first of the three invitations to the NCAA Women's Division III Basketball Championship it would get during Todd's tenure. In his eight seasons at Transylvania, his teams won three conference regular season and two tournament championships, accumulating a record of 157–64.[2][3]

In Todd's first season leading the Morehead State Eagles, his team was picked to finish last in the twelve team race, but finished 8–8 and in sixth place after fading from an early third place.[4][5]
