Brad Huskisson begins his third full year as the head coach of the Lady Cougars Softball team and seventh year overall at Columbus State in the 2011-2012 year.  He served as interim head coach during the 2009 season and was the top assistant in the years prior.

While at Columbus State, Huskisson has been a part of a highly successful run including winning the Peach Belt Conference regular season and conference tournament twice.  In 2007, CSU set a school record with 58 wins, finishing third at the NCAA Division II World Series, the best finish in school history.  

In his first full season at the helm, Huskisson had a tough year going 21-28-1 and missed out on the conference tournament. However, Huskisson had a quick turnaround leading a young group of Lady Cougars to a 37-16 record in 2011. It was CSU’s best record since the 2007 season when the Lady Cougars went 58-5.

As the head coach, Huskisson has had eight All-Peach Belt Conference athletes in just two full seasons. As an assistant, he coached two NFCA All-Americans, two All-Region players and 14 All-PBC honorees.

He spent five years as the Head Coach at Brescia University in Kentucky prior to his arrival at CSU.  While at Brescia, Huskisson took a losing program and earned conference, regional, and national attention winning 153 games in his five seasons. His first year was the only losing season he had while at Brescia.  The 2004 season marked success when he led the Lady Bearcats to a 44-22 record, winning the KIAC regular season championship, the Region XII Tournament, and finishing ninth at the NAIA World Series. His 2005 squad posted a 29-16 slate and won its third-straight KIAC championship, along with the league tournament. Huskisson developed one All-America player, 13 All-Region players, and 49 All-Conference performers during his tenure at Brescia. He also produced 23 Academic All-America performers, over 100 Dean's List students and was named Region XII Coach of the Year in 2003 and 2004.

Huskisson is a graduate of Western Kentucky University and, in addition to his collegiate coaching experience, has coached at the middle and high school levels.

He resides in Columbus with his wife Robin, who is a nurse manager at St. Francis Hospital. In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his wife and two labs, Katie and Dusty.
