WVU women’s basketball coach Mark Kellogg understands what it takes to make a program successful. He settled in after his first two seasons leading the Mountaineers, taking them to consecutive Round of 32 appearances in the NCAA Tournament and setting his standard for the program. But he faces a situation a bit foreign to him in his 20-plus years of college coaching experience as the team is set to begin their 2025 preseason activities.
“We have more newcomers than we do returners, which is the first time in my coaching career – I guess this will be year 21 – that it’s been that way, other than when I took over a program, I guess” Kellogg said.
