- Title:
- Head Men's Basketball Coach
Logie's 293-76 career mark in 13 seasons is good for a .794 winning percentage, eighth-best among active coaches at four-year schools and the 11th-highest winning percentage in the history of all NCAA men's college basketball coaches.
Logie’s teams have qualified for the NCAA Tournament in 12 of his 13 years as a head coach at three different institutions, and his teams have won at least 21 games in every season save one he has coached in his career.
Logie is believed to be only the second men's coach in college basketball history to lead a team to the NCAA Tournament at the Division I, Division II, and Division III levels (Tobin Anderson).
In 2023-24, Logie was named a finalist for Joe B. Hall National Coach of the Year, which is presented annually to the top rookie, first-year head coach in Division I college basketball, after orchestrating the Bobcats' third straight Big Sky championship title and third straight trip to the NCAA Tournament.
The native of Mercer Island, Washington, took the reigns at Montana State on April 17, 2023, the last hire of the Division I men's coaching cycle, and was tasked with reloading a team that had lost four starters and 78.6% of the Cats' scoring output from a year prior.
The Cats took down the University of California on November 16, 2023, Logie's first Division I win and the program's first road victory over a Power Five opponent since 2011. Montana State would finish fifth in the Big Sky, tallying wins over each of the top four teams in the conference while going 9-9 in Big Sky play. Montana State's 70-60 home win over Eastern Washington on February 1, 2023, snapped the Eagles' seven-game unbeaten streak to start Big Sky Conference play. The Cats' finished the regular season with a 76-64 win over Weber State on ESPN2.
At the Big Sky Tournament in Boise, Montana State defeated No. 4 Weber State in the Big Sky quarterfinals and No. 10 Sacramento State in the semifinals to set up a showdown with No. 3 Montana in the Big Sky Championship game--the first time the rivals had met in the title contest since 1986.
The Cats' 85-70 win over the Griz sent Montana State dancing, with the Cats being the lowest seeded team to win the Big Sky Tournament since 1994. A week later, Montana State came within a few minutes of the program's first-ever NCAA Tournament win, ultimately falling to Grambling State in overtime, 88-81, at the First Four in Dayton, Ohio.
Logie helped develop the talents of 2024 Big Sky Tournament MVP Robert Ford III, who was named Big Sky Defensive Player of the Year, First Team All-Big Sky, NABC Second Team All-District, and Big Sky All-Defensive Team after finishing second in the country in steals with a program-record 100 thefts. One year after averaging 4.4 points and 3.2 rebounds in 2022-23, Ford averaged 16.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 2.9 steals per game in 2023-24, shooting a career-best 48.9% from the field and 44.0% from beyond the three-point line.
Additionally, forward Brandon Walker earned Honorable Mention All-Big Sky honors after ranking 11th in the conference in scoring (13.1 ppg) and third in field goal percentage (56.3%).
Logie arrived at Montana State after four seasons at Point Loma in California, where his teams rolled up an 82-23 record with three conference championships. Logie also spent eight seasons at Whitworth University in Spokane (2011-19), where his Pirates compiled a 194-35 record.
Logie capped his four seasons at Point Loma in 2022-23 with a 29-4 season, including a 20-0 PacWest Conference record. His Sea Lions teams won PacWest regular season titles in 2022 and 2023, and won the league tournament in 2020 and 2023.
In 2022-23, Logie was named both the PacWest and NABC DII West District Coach of the Year as Point Loma became the first team in PacWest history to finish the conference regular season a perfect 20-0.
PLNU earned the No. 1 seed in the NCAA West Regional for the second time in program history, before reaching the regional championship game which the Sea Lions lost to No. 6 and national semifinalist Cal State San Bernardino, 83-89.
In that game, PLNU fought back from a double-digit deficit to tie the game with under a minute remaining despite being down injured All-West Region and First Team All-PacWest selection Luke Haupt and having All-American Kaden Anderson hobbled after suffering an injury just a few minutes into the first half.
Point Loma was ranked No. 4 in both the NABC Coaches Poll and D2SIDA Media Poll entering the postseason, finishing No. 7 in the final D2SIDA Media Poll that was released.
The 2021-2022 season marked Coach Logie’s third season at Point Loma and began with a historic 77-50 exhibition game victory over WCC opponent Pepperdine University in what was the first Division I opponent to ever compete at Point Loma. After overcoming a rash of injuries throughout the season, the Sea Lions would go on to win 21 games, and finish the regular season on an 11-game winning streak while capturing the first PacWest Regular Season Championship in the Coach Logie era. The Sea Lions were selected as the fourth seed in the 2022 NCAA West Regional, their fifth consecutive year qualifying for the NCAA Tournament which is the longest current streak of any Division II program in the West Region.
The 2021-2022 team reflected many of the traits that Coach Logie’s teams are known for as they finished the season ranked third nationally in free throw percentage (80.6%), fourth nationally in 3-point field goals made (341) as well as being ranked in the Top-25 of five other offensive categories. In addition to the team success, Junior Kaden Anderson was again named PacWest Player of the Year on his way to earning All-West Region and All-American accolades while Ben Okhotin and Brock Mackenzie garnered Second Team All-PacWest recognition and Myles Franklin was named to the Third Team.
The 2020-2021 season was an abbreviated season due to Covid but furthered the foundation that Coach Logie has built with the Sea Lions. A regionally-based schedule allowed for the Sea Lions to take the floor just 11 times during the 2020-2021 season but resulted in 8 victories and another at-large selection to the NCAA West Regional after being ranked among the nation's top-10 teams early in the year.
In his first year at the helm, Logie guided the Sea Lions to a 24-6 record (18-4 PacWest) and made conference history by becoming the first men's basketball team to win back-to-back PacWest Tournament Championships. Point Loma was ranked multiple times during the season, rising as high as No. 16. He also coached Darnell Robateau to the PacWest Newcomer of the Year award and Kaden Anderson to All-Region honors. During the season, Logie picked up his 200th career win with a victory over Notre Dame de Namur and the Sea Lions posted a 3.30 team grade point average.
Logie joined Point Loma after spending the previous eight seasons as the head coach at Whitworth. During his tenure, the Pirates won .847 percent of their games and his teams earned a bid to the NCAA Tournament in seven of his eight seasons. He guided Whitworth to five straight Northwest Conference Regular Season Championships from 2011 to 2016, and six Northwest Conference Tournament titles (2011-16 & 2017-18), while going 113-17 (.869) against Northwest Conference opponents. Logie's Whitworth teams never finished lower than second in the Northwest Conference.
He was a three-time NWC Coach of the Year and a two-time finalist for the Glenn Robinson National Coach of the Year. Logie led Whitworth to a No. 1 national ranking in 2015-16, and he is the only coach in NCAA Division III history to win 100 games in his first four years. His teams were also strong in the classroom with a 3.30 grade point average over his eight years at the helm.
Prior to joining Whitworth, Logie played and was an assistant coach at Lehigh. He was a student-athlete for the Mountain Hawks from 1999-2003 and graduated as the school's seventh all-time leading scorer (1,524 points). During his playing days at Lehigh, Logie hit 262 three-point field goals, the most in school history. In addition, Logie is the top free throw shooter in the history of the Patriot League at 90.7 percent.
Logie re-joined Lehigh's coaching staff for his second stint prior to the 2007-08 season after spending the 2006-07 season as the Director of Basketball Operations at Kent State. He had previously served on the Lehigh staff from 2003-06, first as the Director of Basketball Operations and then as an assistant coach. He was instrumental in the Mountain Hawks' 2004 Patriot League Championship and NCAA Tournament appearance. During his four-year span on Lehigh’s staff, the Brown and White won the most games in school history.
He would work for five seasons at his alma mater before being promoted to associate head coach for two years. While there he recruited CJ McCollum, the 2013 NBA Draft pick and current member of the New Orleans Pelicans and helped lead the Mountain Hawks into the 2010 NCAA Tournament. The team whom Coach Logie helped to build at Lehigh before leaving for Whitworth in 2011 would go on to beat Duke in the 2012 NCAA Tournament in one of March Madness’ greatest upsets.
Logie graduated Lehigh with an undergraduate degree in Journalism and a master's in Educational Leadership. He is married to Julia, and the couple has two children, Addy and Luke.
