He is an interesting figure in the University of Montana men's basketball coaching lineage because he did not descend from Jud Heathcote or anyone else that had been the head coach at the University of Montana before. When he left Missoula, he became the head coach at Towson University for seven seasons. ESPN Missoula's Ryan Tootell and Colter Nuanez talked with Kennedy about what he learned from the legendary Jim Valvano, his days in the ACC, what it was like recruiting Vince Carter, and how he ended up in Missoula.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/Vk42flR8b3pmjPYc0i5P04-vrijfk_tp7KRHO5v5LTU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzY5MjAvMTY4OTcw/NjkyOC1hcnR3b3Jr/LmpwZw.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
