Rob Senderoff (born July 25, 1973) is the current head men's basketball coach at Kent State University. He was hired on April 7, 2011 to replace Geno Ford, under whom Senderoff had served as associate head coach for the previous three seasons.
Senderoff had two stints with the Kent State program before moving into the head job. First, he was an assistant to coach Jim Christian from 2002-2006. Then, he was hired by former head coach Geno Ford to be his associate head coach. When Ford left for Bradley, Senderoff was given the head coaching job. In between, Senderoff was hired by Kelvin Sampson to be an assistant for two seasons at Indiana. Sampson and Senderoff resigned prior to the end of the 2007-2008 season in the midst of a recruiting controversy. The NCAA eventually handed Senderoff a 30-month show-cause penalty for his role in the scandal.[1]
Prior to joining the Kent State staff in 2002, Senderoff served as an assistant coach at Towson University (2001–02), Yale University (1999–2001), Fordham University (1997–99) and as a graduate assistant at Miami University.
Personal life
Rob is a native of Spring Valley, New York. He earned a bachelor's degree in business administration from University of Albany in 1995 and was also a student assistant with the basketball program. He then moved on to Miami University, where he was a graduate assistant and earned a master's degree in sports studies in 1997. Rob is married to Lauren and has two daughters, Samantha and Rachel.
