Joe Logan is the head coach of the Loyola College women's basketball team, an NCAA Division I program that competes in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC). Logan was named head coach at Loyola on May 12, 2005, after spending the previous four seasons (2001-2005) as an assistant women's basketball coach at St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia.

Logan, a 1996 graduate of Loyola, was also an assistant coach at Loyola from 1997-2001 under Pat Coyle and Cindy Anderson-Griffin. Following his graduation, Logan spent a season as an assistant men's basketball coach at Centenary College, an NCAA Division III school in Hackettstown, N.J.

During his time as a student at Loyola, Logan was a manager for both the men's and women's basketball teams. He was with each team when they advanced to the NCAA Tournaments (men, 1994; women, 1995) and served under former Loyola coaches Skip Prosser and Pat Coyle.

Logan returned to Loyola to help rebuild the Greyhounds, and he has done an admirable job at that. In 2005-2006, the Greyhounds compiled a 20-10 record, the most victories by a first-year head coach in school history. Loyola advanced to the MAAC Championship Game that year before losing to Marist.

The 2006-2007 Greyhounds put together an 18-12 mark and moved on to the MAAC Semifinals despite being projected to finish seventh in the conference prior to the season. Logan was named the Anaconda Sports/MAAC Coach of the Year following that season.

Following the graduation of eight players over two years, the Greyhounds entered a bit of a rebuilding process in 2007-2008. Logan, however, helped the team jump out to a 7-2 record before finishing the season 13-17 in the MAAC Quarterfinals.

Logan is married to former Loyola women's basketball player and assistant coach, Susan Bryce.
