Edmonson County High School has announced Todd Webb, Jr., as the newest addition to the coaching staff on the Wildcats' bench. He will assist Head Coach Brad Meredith and the other coaches in the 26-27 season.

​"We're excited to welcome Coach Todd Webb to our boys basketball coaching staff and to the faculty at ECHS," said Jonathan Williams, ECHS Principal.

"Todd and I were high school teammates and have remained friends over the years, so this is truly a full-circle moment. While the circumstances bringing him home are heartbreaking following the loss of his father, Todd Sr., I have tremendous respect for the way he has handled this difficult season and for his commitment to being closer to his family."

Mr. Williams said that from both a basketball and educational standpoint, this is an outstanding addition for Edmonson's students, program, and Coach Meredith's staff.

"Todd has been successful at multiple levels and I believe will be an asset both on the court and in the classroom."

Todd Webb, Jr., has been named the latest member of the coaching staff of the Edmonson County Wildcats.

​​Coach Webb, also known as "Little Todd," to many of his friends in Edmonson County, is no stranger to basketball success, both in high school and in college. He brings quite the resume to Edmonson County, which is nothing but little.

​Coach Webb, a 2004 ECHS graduate, as well as a 2009 & 2012 WKU graduate,  started coaching shortly after medically retiring as a college athlete in track & field at WKU.

He was an assistant at Warren Central from 2006 - 2009, then became boys’ middle school head coach & girls’ middle school head coach in Adairville High from 2009 - 2013.

He then joined Springfield High School (Springfield, TN) for the 2013-14 season as boys' associate and JV head coach, then girls' varsity head coach at Hopkins County Central High School (Madisonville, KY), from 2014-2018.

In 2018, he was named girls' varsity coach at Brookwood School in Thomasville, GA, where he lead the team to their first & only girls' basketball state championship in 2020. He was also named state coach of they year that year. 

He has since served as Women’s Top Assistant Coach at the University of West Georgia in Carrollton, GA from 2023-2026, where he also was Defensive Coordinator; Zone Offense Coordinator; and led International & HS Recruiting. He also helped lead UWG in their transition from NCAA D2 to NCAA D1 in 2024, and he has coached three players that went on to professional basketball.

Coach Webb told the Edmonson Voice he was happy to be back home and looks forward to joining his alma mater.

"The best thing about EC has always been the people," he said. "I’m looking forward to giving back to the community that shaped me into who I am today. It’s a special bonus when you get to work with so many familiar faces. Brad Meredith, Brian Davidson, & Jonathan Williams were all former teammates of mine. I look forward to working with them again."

Wildcat Head Coach Brad Meredith said he was excited to welcome Coach Webb to the coaching staff.

"Todd and I were teammates in high school, and we've remained close friends ever since," Coach Meredith said. "He has been a successful coach at multiple levels, bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience to our program."

"I'm glad he chose to come home to be closer to his family during this difficult time in their life, and we're fortunate that it also gave us the opportunity to add him to our staff. We want coaches who are high-character, hardworking, knowledgeable, and committed to developing young people both on and off the court. Todd embodies those qualities, and he will be a tremendous addition to an already outstanding coaching staff."

Superintendent Brian Alexander echoed much of the same from the school staff.

"It is great to have Todd Webb as a part of our school district," said Alexander. "Todd is a championship level coach that we are excited to have as part of our basketball program. More importantly, Todd is a wonderful person and will be a great asset to our school and our students.” 

​Principal Williams said both he and Coach Meredith are excited to work with Coach Webb to build on two winning seasons in a row.​
