Kellogg is the sixth winningest active Division I women's basketball coach in the country by winning percentage and brings a 445-120 (.788) career record to Morgantown. He has spent the last eight seasons (2015-23) at Stephen F. Austin where he compiled a 195-55 (.780) mark with seven consecutive seasons of 23 wins or more.
His list of accomplishments at Stephen F. Austin are endless. He led the Ladyjacks to six straight postseason appearances, two regular season conference championships and two tournament championships along with Southland and then WAC Conference Coach of the Year honors. In the past six years, Stephen F. Austin has been the second winningest women's basketball program in the state of Texas, and Kellogg has guided SFA to its highest NET and RPI rankings in school history.
In the last five postseasons not affected by COVID, the Ladyjacks appeared in two NCAA tournaments and three WNITs. At SFA, his Southland and WAC conference mark was 120-22 (.845) and his overall career conference mark stands at 274-57 (.828) in 18 previous seasons as a head coach.
Prior to Stephen F. Austin, Kellogg spent two seasons at West Texas A&M where he compiled a 62-6 record and led the Lady Buffs to a Division II runner-up finish in 2014 and an Elite Eight appearance in 2015. His teams won the regular season and tournament championship of the Lone Star Conference in both seasons, and finished No. 2 and No. 6 in the final WBCA national rankings.
Before West Texas A&M, Kellogg spent the 2012-13 season as head coach at Northwest Missouri State where he increased the school's women's basketball win total by nine games from the previous season. He went 15-13 in the lone season and finished No. 8 in the MIAA Conference after being picked to finish No. 14 in the preseason.
Kellogg started his head coaching career at Division II Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado. In seven seasons, he guided the Skyhawks to five straight NCAA tournament appearances and won the first postseason game in the school's history. He compiled a 173-46 record (.789), winning four conference championships with a Sweet 16 appearance in 2009 and a Division II runner-up finish in 2010.
Kellogg got his start in coaching in 1998, when he served as a graduate assistant men's basketball coach for two years at West Texas A&M. In 2001, he moved to Montana State as assistant women's basketball coach and helped the Bearcats to Big Sky Championships in 2002 and 2003. He coordinated the offensive strategy for the team in 2005 before taking on his first women's basketball head coaching assignment at Fort Lewis College.
He graduated from Austin College in Sherman, Texas in 1998 with a bachelor's degree in communications and physical education and earned his master's degree in sport and exercise science from West Texas A&M in 2000.
Kellogg and his wife, Trisha, are the parents of a son (Camden) and a daughter (Kayli).
