Growing up in the San Fernando Valley, just minutes from Chaminade High School, Coach Todd Wolfson has always had aspirations of becoming a successful high school coach. As a three year varsity player at El Camino Real High school in Woodland Hills, coach Wolfson always knew his aspirations of becoming a high school coach. “Even when I played in High School, I wanted to learn more about the game and knew that someday I wanted to be High School coach,” Wolfson said. After high school, Wolfson attended UCSB where he would study communications and his focus could switch from player to coach.
After 2 seasons coaching at his Alma-Mater El Camino Real HS. Coach Wolfson took the Varsity basketball job at Chaminade High School in 2009. In his inaugural season, the Eagles won 20 games and lost in the CIF D4 finals in overtime, to Price HS of Los Angeles who featured Portland Trailblazers NBA player Allen Crabbe. That year Coach Wolfson was named CIF Coach of the year and Daily News Coach of the Year.
In 2014 Coach Wolfsons Chaminade Eagles went 27-6 and won the first ever California State Championship in the history of the school. Coach Wolfson was named CIF coach of the year for the second time in six years and credits his players, administration and assistant coaches for the teams success.
Taking over the St. Francis Golden Knights Basketball Team in 2015, Coach Wolfson is extremely excited to start coaching at St. Francis High School. He feels by changing the culture and keeping the Franciscan virtues that make the school remarkable, the program can be led to much success on and off the court.
Coach Wolfson has been named CIF Coach Of The Year Twice. CIF D4 Coach of the Year. Daily News Coach of the year three times. LA Times Coach of The Year and is in the Jewish Sports Hall of Fame.
When not coaching basketball Coach Wolfson can be found hanging out with his niece Quinn Wolfson (11) and nephew Trevor Wolfson (7).
