MONTGOMERY, Ala. – Head Coach
Sean Page of the Auburn Montgomery Women's Basketball Program has announced the hiring of
Steve Kenner as assistant coach.
"I'm extremely excited to have Kenner join the program," said Page. "For us to be able to attract someone of his quality and caliber at any time, but particularly this late into the season, is a huge win for us."
Kenner comes to AUM from Pratt Community College in Pratt, Kan., where he served as head coach in 2020-21.
"I am blessed and very appreciative of coach Page taking the time out to reach out to me and present me with this opportunity," said Kenner. "Having a great athletics director
Jessie Rosa, with her, I thought this was the right place with what everyone is envisioning with our academic success and our team success."
Kenner, who coached at the DME Sports Academy in Daytona Beach, Florida, before taking over at Pratt, has accumulated an 18-year track record that includes head coaching experience at Southeastern Illinois College (Harrisburg, IL) and Emory & Henry College (Emory, VA).
While at DME, Kenner served as an assistant coach for the facility's first-level post-graduate team, and a head coach for the second-level group. Prior to his time in Daytona Beach, Kenner was the head coach of the Southeastern Illinois College's women's basketball program, where he manned the sideline from 2017-19.
As the head coach of the Falcons, Kenner aided in the development of NJCAA All-American, 2018 Great Rivers Athletic Conference Player of the Year, and 2018 Freshman of the Year Shamari Tyson. Kenner, who posted a record of 22-10 in his final season with the Falcons in 2019, was an assistant on the Falcons' staff in 2016 before taking over the head coaching position.
Kenner's coaching resume includes stops at institutions such as Belmont Abbey College, Emory & Henry College, University of North Carolina-Pembroke, St. Andrews Presbyterian College, and the University of South Carolina-Upstate.
