COACHING BIOIn his first three seasons as head coach, Chad Walthall has led the Minnesota State University Moorhead men’s basketball team to unparalled heights. Now entering his fourth season in 2013-14, the Dragons are poised to continue as a formidable program in the rugged NSIC and region.That successful run -- one of the biggest turnarounds in all of Division II -- in Walthall’s first three years in-cludes a first trip to the NCAA Tournament since 1965, the most wins by any coach in his first three years at MSUM (55), and the best two-year stretch in the program in more than three decades (40 wins).Known for his ability to rebuild collegiate programs, Walthall has done just that at MSUM and has the Dragons poised to be a contender for years to come. Taking over a team that was 10-17 prior to his ar-rival, Walthall, in his second season at MSUM, took the Dragons to the NCAA tournament, recording a first-round win and advancing to the NCAA regional semifinals. In three years, he has compiled a record of 55-33 -- an average of more than 18 wins per season. In the previous three seasons prior to Walthall’s arrival, MSUM averaged 11 wins.In 2012-13, MSUM continued its progression under Walthall with a 19-11 mark, reaching the 19-win mark for the second consecutive year. That included a thrilling 78-74 win over No. 11-ranked St. Cloud State, a convincing home win over regional qualifier Augustana, and an eight-game winning streak. The Dragons earned a first-round home game in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference tournament for just the second time in school history -- the first being in Walthall’s second year in 2011-12 -- and earned an 87-78 win over SMSU to advance.Senior Alex Novak also set MSUM career records in blocks (223) and rebounds (1,054) during Walthall’s first three years. Novak also earned second-team all-region honors in 2012-13 and was first team All-NSIC, while senior Anthony Tucker was second-team all-district and also earned All-NSIC second-team honors.In 2011-12, Walthall guided MSUM to a 21-10 mark and led the Dragons to the NCAA tournament. Not only did MSUM advance to the NCAA Tournament, but they earned a first-round win, an 82-66 victory over Southwest Minnesota State, to advance to the second round.The Dragons started the year with an 11-0 mark, their best start since 1971. They were ranked as high as 16th in the nation, the first time MSUM has been ranked in program history. The team also beat Division I foe North Dakota State, 90-84 in an exhibition game to start the season.In Walthall’s first season in 2010-11, he proved he was more than capable of rebuilding the Dragon bas-ketball program. In 14 years prior to his arrival, the program had won only 40 percent of its games and posted just two winning conference seasons. Walthall, who has had winning league records in each of his 10 years as a collegiate head coach, led the Dragons to their first overall (15-12) and NSIC (12-10) winning seasons since 2002-2003.The Dragons were selected 11th in the preseason coach’s poll for the 2010-2011 season. Walthall led the team to a sixth-place finish and earned a bid in the NSIC postseason tournament just one year after finish-ing 12th in league play.Prior to arriving at MSUM, Walthall was an assistant coach at Iowa of the Big Ten from 2007-10. While on the Hawkeye coaching staff, he assisted in recruiting Iowa’s 2010 recruiting class which was ranked 20th in the nation and third in the Big Ten, by Van Coleman. Walthall also served as interim Head Coach for the Hawkeyes for four games, while Head Coach Todd Lickliter was sidelined due to health reasons.Walthall’s head coaching experience has a history of rebuilding basketball programs. In 2000 he was hired as Head Basketball Coach at Loras College. He served seven seasons (2000-07) becoming the third win-ningest coach in school history. He also served as Director of Athletics from 2004-07.Walthall was named 2006-07 Iowa Intercollegiate Conference (IIAC) Coach of the Year while leading the Duhawks to a 15-1 conference record and the IIAC title. It was the first IIAC title for Loras since the 1950-51 season and its most conference wins in school history. Along with achieving regular season success, Walthall led Loras to its first IIAC tournament title and first NCAA tournament berth in school history. His seven-year mark at Loras was 116-69. Walthall progressively built Loras into a perennial league contender and one of the top Division III programs in the West Region.Walthall led Loras to winning seasons in the Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in each of his seven seasons. In his last three years, Loras won 77 percent (37-11) of its league games, more than any other basketball program in the IIAC. In his final two seasons, Loras posted a 22-3 home record.With the rebuilding job complete, Walthall joined the the University of Iowa as an assistant coach and left the Loras basketball program in excellent shape, as the Duhawks returned their entire starting line-up, including the returning IIAC MVP. Loras began the 2007-08 season ranked eighth in the country and as a unanimous selection to repeat as Iowa Conference champions. Loras went on to repeat as IIAC tournament champions and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the second straight year.Walthall has proven he is a highly successful recruiter, as those graduating seniors had the best conference (50-14) and overall record of any IIAC team during their four-year career. . Walthall recruited 11 players who earned 19 all-conference selections, including a two-time IIAC Player of the Year, two-time all-region honoree and a two-time All-American and five 1,000-point scorers. Walthall took over the Loras program after serving as assistant coach at Eastern Michigan for two years (1998-2000) and St. Olaf College for four years (1994-98). He was head coach at Redwood Valley High School for one season (1993-94) and a graduate assistant coach at St. Cloud State for two years Walthall attended Concordia College in Moorhead, Minn., earning a bachelor’s degree in Physical Educa-tion and Health in 1991. While at St. Cloud State he earned his master’s degree in Athletics Administration (1993). As a collegiate athlete at Concordia, Walthall played quarterback and was part of two Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) football championships. He earned all-conference honors in that sport as a junior and senior. He also served as a student assistant basketball coach.A former standout athlete at Staples, Minn., Walthall and his wife, Jenni, live in Moorhead and have four children, a daughter Brooke (13), twin sons Brady and Blake (11), and son Beau (seven).
