Pat Kennedy is an American college basketball coach who most recently was men's basketball coach at Towson University before announcing his resignation on March 7, 2011. Previously, Kennedy coached at Iona College, Florida State University, DePaul University, and the University of Montana.
Kennedy is a native of Keyport, New Jersey,[1] and attended Red Bank Catholic High School.[2] He is a 1975 graduate of King's College. After college, he became an assistant coach to Jim Valvano at Iona. In 1979 when Valvano left for North Carolina State University, Kennedy took the head job at Iona. In six years, he led the Gaels to two NCAA tournament appearances. He compiled a 124–60 record while at Iona.
After Iona, Kennedy went to Florida State. He would spend 11 years in Tallahassee, leading the Seminoles to 5 NCAA tournament appearances. During his tenure at FSU, he won 202 games and lost 131.
In 1997, he took over as head coach at DePaul. In 2000, Kennedy led the Blue Demons to their first NCAA appearance in eight years. While in Chicago, he had a record of 67 wins and 85 losses.
In 2002, Kennedy left DePaul to coach Montana. His two year record with the Grizzlies was 23–25 before he left to take the head coaching job at Towson in 2004.
His resignation as Towson's basketball coach was primarily due to a 4-26 season that ended with 19 straight losses, and failing to guide Towson to a winning record during his seven seasons at the school, going 71-144 since arriving in 2004.
