According to his USF bio, Kennedy is an Arizona native who played hoops at Grinnell College, the scoreboard-breaking program in Iowa. No, he isn't the Jack who scored 138 points in a game (that was Jack Taylor).
He came west and worked as a graduate assistant to Coach Rex Walters for two years on the Hilltop while earning his master's in sports management.
Kennedy then became the director of basketball operations for the next pair of seasons before being elevated to an assistant coach position this past season.
In his senior year at Grinnell, he attempted 56 shots and 53 were of the three-point variety. Don't get into a shooting match with him as he made 45% of his trey attempts that season. Word has it that he's pretty handy on the golf links too.
