RICHMOND, Ky. – Eastern Kentucky University and women's basketball head coach Greg Todd have agreed to a contract extension through 2030.
 
Under Todd, the Colonels have won at least 20 games in three consecutive seasons for the first time in program history. EKU capped that stretch with a school-record 25 wins in 2025-26, its first Atlantic Sun Conference regular-season championship and a victory over top-seeded Utah in the Women's Basketball Invitation Tournament (WBIT).
 
"I want to thank President McFaddin and Kyle Moats for believing in what we're building and giving me the opportunity to continue leading this program," said Todd. "I'm incredibly fortunate to work alongside a coaching staff that cares so deeply about our players and this university. Our success reflects the work they put in every day and the relationships they build with our student-athletes. I have tremendous confidence in this staff and what we can accomplish together."
 
Todd was named the 2026 ASUN Coach of the Year after leading the Colonels to a 15-3 conference record and the No. 1 seed in the ASUN Tournament. He was the first EKU women's basketball coach to earn conference coach of the year honors since 2005, when the Colonels last won a regular-season conference title.
 
"I'm pleased that Coach Todd has agreed to continue to lead our women's basketball program for the foreseeable future. He has showed consistent success during his tenure at EKU, and we look forward to keeping our momentum under his direction." EKU Director of Athletics Kyle Moats said.
 
The Colonels closed the regular season with a 100-43 victory over Bellarmine at Baptist Health Arena, where they cut down the nets to celebrate the title. The victory was Todd's 100th at EKU, making him the third coach in program history to reach the milestone. He earned his 350th NCAA coaching victory earlier in the season against North Alabama.
 
EKU earned its first WBIT berth and hosted Utah in the opening round. The Colonels defeated the Utes 72-58 for their first win over a power-conference opponent since beating Kentucky in 1997 and their first national postseason tournament victory since 2002.
 
The Colonels returned to national postseason play two years earlier. In Todd's third season, EKU finished 22-12, reached the ASUN Tournament semifinals and earned an at-large bid to the 2024 Women's National Invitation Tournament (WNIT), the program's first national postseason appearance since 2013. EKU followed with another 20-win season and a second straight trip to the ASUN semifinals in 2024-25.

"I grew up in Madison County and graduated from EKU, so representing this university and this community has always been personal to me," Todd continued. "We've worked hard to build a program our university, alumni and community can be proud of. I'm proud of what we've accomplished together, and I'm even more excited about where we're going."
 
Named the 10th head coach in program history in May 2021, Todd is 105-64 (.621) at Eastern Kentucky through five games of the 2026-27 season. He reached 100 wins in his fifth season, fewer seasons than any head coach in EKU men's or women's basketball history. His 105 wins rank third in women's program history and seventh across both programs. Among EKU head coaches with at least 100 games, his .621 winning percentage ranks first in women's basketball and third across both programs.
 
Todd has spent his entire coaching career in Kentucky, beginning at his alma mater, Berea Community High School. He won 166 games in seven seasons at Berea and led the program to the state semifinals in 1998. He then won three state championships at Lexington Catholic High School and was named the 2006 EA Sports National High School Girls Basketball Coach of the Year.
 
Todd was inducted into the Kentucky High School Basketball Hall of Fame in 2017 and the Kentucky High School Athletic Association Hall of Fame in 2025. Berea Community and Lexington Catholic each inducted him into their halls of fame in 2019.
 
Todd earned Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference Coach of the Year honors four times at Transylvania before spending seven seasons at Morehead State. He led the Eagles to three consecutive 20-win seasons and two WNIT appearances, including a first-round victory over Ohio State in 2019. At EKU, he earned the Lexington Herald-Leader's Kentucky Women's Coach of the Year award in 2023 and ASUN Coach of the Year honors in 2026.
