Record at MSUM: 171-73
In just seven seasons as head coach of the Minnesota State University Moorhead men’s basketball program, Chad Walthall has continued to enhance his reputation as a builder of programs. He has the Dragons recognized as one of the premiere programs in the country, and is continuing to garner national attention.

The honor is given annually to the top Division II coach in the country. In addition, Walthall was also recognized as Central Region Coach of the Year and as the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference Coach of the Year. Posting a 89-16 record in the past three seasons, including a 58-8 record in conference play, MSUM is poised to continue its success in the future under Walthall. The Dragons’ seven-year run under Walthall has seen MSUM produce a 165-57 record, the most wins in any seven-year period in school history.
