​⁠ talks with the all-time winningest coach in Kent State's history, Rob Senderoff. Outside of taking a two year hiatus where he took his career to Indiana University to coach under Kelvin Sampson, Senderoff has spent the majority of his coaching career at Kent State.

In 2011, Senderoff took over as the head coach and has never had a losing season since then. He joins Mark Few and Tom Izzo as the only coaches to never have a losing season (minimum 10 seasons coached). His 288 wins rank 7th all-time in MAC history.

Some of his coaching highlights include being awarded the 2022 MAC Coach of the Year, leading Kent State to their first MAC tournament title since 2008, and leading Kent State to nine 20+ win seasons. This past season the Golden Flyers finished the year 24-12 and upset St. Bonaventure and Stanford in the NIT tournament.

Hear about Coach Senderoff's philosophies on both ends of the ball, his favorite MAC matchups, and what is left to accomplish for his career and the Kent State program.
