The 2020-21 season will be Todd Kelly’s seventh as Illinois Institute of Technology head men's basketball coach. (76-83, six seasons)

The program experienced strong resurgence under Kelly as he inherited a zero-win team prior to the 2014-15 season, and proceeded to lead the Scarlet Hawks to a 23-5 record in 2016-17, the most wins in school history in just his third season. Kelly led Illinois Tech to the NCAA's largest win increase from the 2015-16 season (four wins) to the 2016-17 season (23 wins). The program's quick turnaround culminated in winning the 2016-17 USCAA Championship. The 2017-18 season resulted in Kelly being named USCAA Men's Basketball Coach of the Year. He is also a two-time Association of Division III Independents Coach of the Year (2016-17, 2017-18). 

The Scarlet Hawks saw a seamless transition into a full NCAA Division III member in 2018-19 as they registered a 16-12 overall record and secured a spot in the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference (NACC) Tournament Championship Game. Kelly led Illinois Tech to their second-straight NACC Tournament appearance in 2019-20, which ended with a 12-14 record. The Scarlet Hawks have accumulated three All-NACC First Team selections, one All-NACC Second Team selection, two NACC Defensive Player of the Year honors, and one D3Hoops.com All-Central Region Third Team player under Kelly's watch.
