Geno Ford (born October 11, 1974) is an American college basketball coach. He has previously served as head coach at Bradley University, Kent State Univerisity, Muskingum University (then Muskingum College), and Shawnee State University, and as an assistant at Ohio University and Kent State.
Ford began his coaching career in 1998 as an assistant at his alma mater Ohio University before becoming head coach at Shawnee State University of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) in 2001. After one season at Shawnee State, he was hired as an assistant at Kent State under Jim Christian, where he coached for three seasons. In 2005, Ford was hired as head coach at Muskingum College, now Muskingum University, of the NCAA Division III, where he coached for two seasons before returning to Kent State as an assistant. Ford was promoted to head coach at Kent State in 2008 following Christian's departure to TCU, and coached the Golden Flashes for three seasons. At Kent State, Ford led the team to consecutive Mid-American Conference regular season titles in 2010 and 2011, winning MAC Coach of the Year both years. His teams at KSU advanced to the post-season in each of his three seasons, playing in the 2009 CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament and the 2010 and 2011 National Invitation Tournaments. He finished with a record of 68–37 at Kent State, including 35–17 in MAC play. Following his success at Kent State, he was hired by Bradley University in 2011, where he coached four seasons. His teams at Bradley never finished above 7th in the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC), advancing to post-season play in the 2013 CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament. He was relieved of his duties at the conclusion of an injury-riddled 2014–15 season, where the Braves finished 9–24 overall and 3–15 in the MVC. Ford's record at Bradley was 46–86 overall and 19–53 in MVC play. He was hired in 2016 as an assistant at Stony Brook under head coach and his former Ohio teammate, Jeff Boals.
