Josh Wolfe wrapped up his third season as director of basketball operations for the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs.

This past season, the Bulldogs finished with 24 wins while advancing to the Conference USA Tournament championship game after victories over Marshall, WKU and defending champion North Texas. In doing so, the program became one of only 10 Division I teams in the country to record back-to-back seasons of 24+ wins.

The 2020-21 season saw LA Tech record a 24-8 overall record while claiming a Conference USA West Division title and a third place finish in the National Invitation Tournament.  The Bulldogs received an at-large berth to play in the NIT for the first time since 2015 and became just the second team in program history to make the Final Four.  

The team upset Ole Miss in the first round, defeated league foe Western Kentucky in the quarterfinals and won a 76-74 thriller over No. 1 overall seed Colorado State in the Final Four consolation game. 

In his first season at LA Tech, the 'Dogs registered a 22-8 overall record during the regular season, but the team did not have a chance at postseason play with the Conference USA and NCAA/NIT Tournaments being canceled due to the public health threat of COVID-19.  The Bulldogs also recorded a 13-5 league record, finishing in a tie for second place.
 
The Bulldogs, who had the highest NET ranking and highest KenPom ranking of any C-USA squad, had several marquee wins including a 74-67 victory over Mississippi State in Starkville to end their SEC-leading 26-game non-conference winning streak.
 
Wolfe came from Western Illinois where he spent six seasons as both an associate head coach and assistant coach for the Leathernecks under Billy Wright and Jim Molinari.
 
Wolfe’s sixth year at WIU was highlighted by an upset victory over the three-time reigning Summit League champions South Dakota State in the quarterfinal round of the league tournament, becoming the first No. 8 seed in conference history to defeat the No. 1 seed.
 
Another marquee win for Wolfe and the Leathernecks came in 2015-16 when they opened the season by knocking off No. 17 Wisconsin on the road.  The victory marked the program’s first win over a nationally-ranked team in the Division I era.  WIU ended up receiving points in the AP Top 25 poll for the first time ever as a result.
 
The most successful season at WIU for Wolfe came in 2012-13 when the team earned a share of the Summit League regular season championship while finishing 22-9 overall, recording more wins than any other team in the program’s D1 history.  The Leathernecks ended up making an appearance in the College Basketball Invitational.
 
Prior to WIU, Wolfe spent six years as an assistant coach at Wisconsin-Parkside and was part of all activities in the basketball program as well as serving as the Director of the department’s CHAMPS/Life Skills program.
 
He helped the Rangers to back-to-back winning seasons in his first two years, including the program’s first NCAA Tournament appearance. 
 
Before heading to UW-Parkside, Wolfe spent two years as an assistant coach at Lakeland College, a NCAA Division II school in Sheboygan, Wisconsin.  In his last year at Lakeland, the Muskies finished with a 21-6 record and a Lake Michigan Conference championship.  It marked the program's first 20-plus win season in over a decade.

From 2001-2004, Wolfe was an assistant coach at Hope College, a Division III school in Holland, Michigan. In Wolfe’s time at Hope, the Flying Dutchmen won two conference championships (2003 & 2004) while also making two NCAA Tournament appearances (2002 & 2003). 

Wolfe, originally from Cedar Springs, Michigan, holds a Bachelor’s of Art in Secondary Education from Hope College and a Master’s of Education from Lakeland College. Josh and his wife Molly have two children, Kaelyn and Kaden.
