Penn State Lehigh Valley has proud to announced the hiring of Todd Askins as the new Head Coach of the Women’s Basketball Program. After an extensive national search, Askins emerged as the ideal leader to guide the program into its next chapter.
Askins will be taking this time during the 2025-26 season to develop relationships and a roster of new student athletes that are ready to bring the program next fall.
The coaching veteran brings over 20 years of coaching experience to his role with a consistent record of revitalizing programs and developing winning cultures. Most recently serving as an Assistant Coach with the Wilson College Women’s Basketball program, Askins transitioned directly from a highly successful tenure as Head Girls Varsity Basketball Coach at Bermudian Springs High School. There, he led a historic turnaround, qualifying for the District III playoffs in six of his seven seasons and securing three state playoff appearances—ending an eight-year district drought and a 22-year state playoff absence. His leadership culminated in the 2021-2022 season with Bermudian’s first-ever Adams/York County Championship.
Over those seven seasons, Askins amassed a 113–60 record, coached five of the program’s nine 1,000-point scorers, and earned multiple coaching honors. These include Adams County Divisional Coach of the Year (2019), York/Adams County Coach of the Year (2022), and Pennsylvania State Coach of the Year for PIAA 4A Girls Basketball (2022). His coaching foundation also includes experience within the Carlisle Area and Cumberland Valley School Districts.
Askins is dedicated to fostering growth in student-athletes both on and off the court. He and his wife, Jodi, reside in Carlisle, PA, and have two daughters, Alexa (Towson University ’22) and Julianna (Wilkes University ’25).
