Mark Kellogg was named the seventh women’s basketball coach in West Virginia University history on April 5, 2023.
Entering his fourth season with the Mountaineers, Kellogg ranks as the fourth-winningest active Division I women’s basketball coach by winning percentage, holding a career record of 523-143 (.785). His win percentage sits behind only Geno Auriemma, Kim Mulkey and Lisa Fortier.
In just three seasons at WVU, Kellogg has made a historic impact. He led the Mountaineers to back-to-back-to-back 25-win seasons—the best three-year start by a head coach in program history. The 78 total wins during that span are the third-most in any three-season stretch at WVU and mark the first time the program has recorded three consecutive 25-win campaigns.
Kellogg has coached two All Americans in JJ Quinerly (2024 and 2025) and Jordan Harrison (2026), two Big 12 Conference Defensive Player of the Years in Quinerly (2024 and 2025) and Jordan Harrison (2026), two Naismith Defensive Player of the Year Finalists in Quinerly (2025) and Harrison (2026) and eight All Big 12 Conference Team selections. Additionally, he has produced two WNBA talents in Quinerly (2025) and also Harrison in 2026.
In his third season with West Virginia (2025-26), Kellogg compiled his third straight 25 win season, the best three season start by a head coach in program history. His 78 combined wins over the span are the third most wins across three seasons in program history as it marks the first time a team has produced three straight 25-win seasons. He guided the Mountaineers to the programs second ever Big 12 Conference Tournament Title after a second-place finish in the Big 12 regular season. West Virginia's 17th all-time bid into the NCAA Tournament came with the conference automatic qualifying bid where they reached the second round. WVU was ranked 13 of 20 AP Top 25 poll, including finishing the season as the 18th-ranked team in the country while reaching as high as No. 11. Jordan Harrison signed a training camp contract and late made the opening night roster for the Portland Fire. It gave Kellogg his second WNBA talent in as many years.
In his second season with West Virginia (2024-25), Kellogg compiled his second straight 25-win season, the best two season start by a head coach in program history. The 50 wins during his first two seasons marked the third most wins in a two season span in program history and the first to win 25 in back-to-back seasons. He guided the Mountaineers to a fourth-place finish in the Big 12 regular season and West Virginia's 16th all-time bid into the NCAA Tournament, reaching the second round. WVU was ranked every AP Top 25 poll, including finishing the season as the 21st-ranked team in the country. JJ Quinerly became the programs 11th WNBA Draft Pick of all-time and the first for Kellogg.
In his first season with West Virginia (2023-24), Kellogg compiled 25 wins, marking the most ever by a first-year coach in program history. He guided the Mountaineers to a fourth-place finish in the Big 12 regular season and West Virginia's 15th all-time bid into the NCAA Tournament, reaching the second round. WVU was ranked in the AP poll nine times, including finishing the season as the 24th-ranked team in the country.
Prior to West Virginia, he spent 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.
Kellogg’s 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. On October 24, 2024, Kellogg was inducted into the Fort Lewis Athletics Hall of Fame.
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.
