'''Andy Kennedy''' (born March 13, 1968) is an American [[college basketball]] coach who is the head coach of the [[UAB Blazers men's basketball]] team. He was head men's basketball coach at the [[University of Mississippi]] (Ole Miss) from 2006 to 2018. Kennedy was a player in high school at both [[Winston Academy]] and [[Louisville High School (Mississippi)|Louisville High School]].  He was a 1986 ''[[Parade (magazine)|Parade]]'' All-American and he went on to play for [[NC State Wolfpack men's basketball|North Carolina State]] and the [[University of Alabama at Birmingham]] (UAB).  On March 20, 2020, he was announced as the seventh head coach of UAB.

==Playing career==

===College===
Kennedy, a 6'7" forward, was a 1986 ''Parade'' All-American, as well as the Mississippi Player of the Year at Louisville High School. He started his collegiate career at North Carolina State where he was a member of [[Jim Valvano]]'s 1987 [[Atlantic Coast Conference]] championship team.

Following his freshman season, Kennedy transferred to UAB where he played under another legendary coach, [[Gene Bartow]]. From 1988 to 1991, Kennedy was a two-time all-conference performer that led the Sun Belt Conference in scoring at 21.8 points per game in 1991. Kennedy finished his UAB career as the program's second all-time leading scorer with 1,787 points. Kennedy still holds numerous school and conference records.

On 2022 October 7 Kennedy was inducted into the UAB Sports Hall of Fame. He became just the 4th men's player selected.

===Professional===
After graduation, Kennedy played briefly for the [[National Basketball Association|NBA]]'s [[New Orleans Hornets|Charlotte Hornets]] at guard.<ref>[http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/s_423075.html Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: Newcomer trying to keep pace in rugged Big East] {{Dead link|date=October 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref><ref>[https://archive.today/20070726073416/http://www.djournal.com/pages/archive.asp?ID=215681 Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal: Bartow says Kennedy will force tempo]</ref><ref>[http://www.olemisssports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=2600&ATCLID=542197 Ole Miss Andy Kennedy Bio] {{Dead link|date=April 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref><ref>[https://uabsports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/andy-kennedy/7207 Old UAB Andy Kennedy Bio]</ref> He later began a three-year professional career abroad, playing in [[Greece]], the [[Netherlands]], [[Spain]] and [[Puerto Rico]]. Chronic knee problems brought his career to an early end. He had his second [[anterior cruciate ligament|ACL]] tear and subsequently his fifth and final knee operation while playing in Puerto Rico and chose to retire as a player and transition into coaching.

==Professional career==

===Early years===
Kennedy's coaching career began as an assistant for the [[University of South Alabama]] during the 1994–95 season. Since then he has also served as an assistant coach at UAB from 1996 to 2001 and the [[University of Cincinnati]] from 2001 to 2005. Kennedy's first head coaching position came during the 2005–06 season when he was named interim head coach for Cincinnati after [[Bob Huggins]] resigned. He led the Bearcats to a 21–13 record and an [[National Invitation Tournament|NIT]] appearance that year. He was named the NY Post Big East Coach of the Year. On March 23, 2006 he was named as the head coach of [[Ole Miss Rebels men's basketball|Ole Miss]].<ref>{{cite web |author1=Associated Press |title=Ole Miss hires Cincinnati interim coach Kennedy |url=https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/news/story?id=2381806 |access-date=April 29, 2025 |date=March 23, 2006}}</ref>

===Ole Miss===
In his first year as head coach of Ole Miss, Kennedy led the Rebels to a 21–13 overall record and 8–8 in conference play record to become co-champions of the [[Southeastern Conference|Southeastern Conference Western division]]. The Rebels made it to the semi-finals of the SEC tournament, but fell to the eventual champions, [[Florida Gators men's basketball|Florida]]. The Rebels then received an NIT berth and won the first round against [[Appalachian State Mountaineers men's basketball|Appalachian State]] but fell to the eventual runners-up, [[Clemson Tigers men's basketball|Clemson]].

In December 2008, Kennedy was arrested in Cincinnati after he allegedly punched and shouted racial slurs at a taxicab driver. He was charged with misdemeanor assault and ultimately plead guilty to disorderly conduct.<ref>{{cite web |title=Ole Miss basketball coach's arrest caught on tape |url=https://www.actionnews5.com/story/9776335/ole-miss-basketball-coachs-arrest-caught-on-tape/ |publisher=Action News 5 |access-date=29 April 2025 |date=February 3, 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |author1=Associated Press |title=Kennedy plea nets him probation |url=https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/news/story?id=4083219 |access-date=29 April 2025 |date=April 20, 2009}}</ref>

In 2013 he led Ole Miss to its first NCAA tournament appearance in over a decade, and his first appearance as a head coach. The 12-seed Rebels upset [[2012–13 Wisconsin Badgers men's basketball team|Wisconsin]] in the round of 64 before losing to 13-seed [[2012–13 La Salle Explorers men's basketball team|La Salle]].

Kennedy's Rebels earned another NCAA tournament bid in 2015, defeating [[2014–15 BYU Cougars men's basketball team|BYU]] in the First Four and losing to [[2014–15 Xavier Musketeers men's basketball team|Xavier]] in the round of 64.

On February 12, 2018, Kennedy initially announced that he and Ole Miss had agreed to part ways following the [[2017-18 NCAA Division I men's basketball season|2017–18 season]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/22409723/andy-kennedy-ole-miss-rebels-part-ways-season|title=Andy Kennedy, Ole Miss to part ways after season|work=[[ESPN.com]]|first=Jeff|last=Goodman|date=February 12, 2018|access-date=February 12, 2018}}</ref> However, Kennedy resigned effective immediately on February 18, 2018.<ref name=Resign>{{cite press release|url=http://www.olemisssports.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/021818aaa.html|title=Andy Kennedy Steps Down After 12 Seasons, Effective Immediately|date=February 18, 2018|access-date=February 18, 2018}}</ref>  In his 12 seasons at Ole Miss, Kennedy became the program's all-time wins leader, as well as the only head coach since World War II to finish with a winning record in SEC play. He had won one conference tournament championship, two division championships, and was twice named SEC Coach of the Year.

=== Broadcasting ===
In 2018, Kennedy agreed to a deal with the SEC Network to become a college basketball analyst across the ESPN family of networks. During the 2018–2019 and 2019–2020 seasons, Kennedy was featured as an in-game color analyst, studio analyst, and sideline reporter covering college basketball.

===UAB===
After 2 years working with ESPN, on March 20, 2020, Kennedy was hired as the head coach at [[UAB Blazers men's basketball|UAB]], replacing [[Robert Ehsan]].<ref>{{cite news |last1=Cobb |first1=David |last2=Norlander |first2=Matt |title=College basketball coaching carousel: Tracker for 2019–20 coaching searches, changes, hirings, firings |url=https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/college-basketball-coaching-carousel-tracker-for-2019-20-coaching-searches-changes-hirings-firings/ |access-date=March 20, 2020 |work=[[CBS Sports]] |date=March 20, 2020}}</ref> In his [[2020–21 UAB Blazers men's basketball team|first year]] Kennedy led the Blazers to a 22–7 record.
