Rob Senderoff is 247-147 in 12 seasons as the men’s basketball head coach at Kent State University, making him the winningest and longest-tenured coach in program history. His Golden Flashes won Mid-American Conference regular season and tournament championships in 2017 and 2023, automatically qualifying for the NCAA Tournament both years. Last season’s squad went 28-7, the best record of Senderoff’s career and the best by the Flashes since the 2007-08 campaign. And he earned MAC Coach of the Year honors in 2022.
Probably most impressively, Senderoff has successfully navigated the Flashes through the choppy and uncharted waters of Name, Image, Likeness and the transfer portal, which have dramatically altered the college sports landscape since Senderoff’s first MAC title in 2017:
