Coaching career

Louisiana Tech

On May 18, 2015, Eric Konkol was named by Louisiana Tech as the 18th head coach of the Bulldogs basketball team. He replaced former head coach Michael White who accepted the head coaching position at the University of Florida. Konkol reportedly was offered a five-year, $2 million contract. He takes over a program that has won three straight regular season conference titles.
Konkol recently wrapped up his fifth season at the helm of the Bulldogs, a season that came to an abrupt end with the team not having a chance at postseason play with the Conference USA and NCAA/NIT Tournaments being canceled due to the public health threat of COVID-19. Despite the shortened 2019-20 season, Konkol was named the LSWA Louisiana Coach of the Year and the LABC Louisiana Major College Coach of the Year after guiding LA Tech to a 22-8 overall record. The 22 wins was the most victories of any C-USA team and of any other Louisiana Division I team. The Bulldogs also recorded a 13-5 league record, finishing in a tie for second place.
