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. Known as a fantastic recruiter, Coach Senderoff has already made an impact on the future of Kent State basketball.
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.<ref name=O'neal>O'neal, Dana (April 21, 2011). "Kent State shows faith in Rob Senderoff". ESPN.com.
