Head Coach - Ken Wilcox

Ken Wilcox is the first Athletic Director and  Men's Basketball coach at ASA.  With the challenge of starting an athletic  department from scratch a daunting task, he is no stranger to this  challenge.  Previously Coach Wilcox built a nationally recognized  basketball program as a coach and as an Athletic Director at Globe Institute of  Technology.  Coach Wilcox started the Globe athletic department back in  1998 with basketball as a club team and over the past 10 years helped develop  and grow 15 intercollegiate programs with many teams being nationally ranked in  the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA).  As an athletic  administrator Coach Wilcox built the only Division One Junior College athletic  department in the northeast.

Coach Wilcox, while at Globe, built the Men's Basketball program  into a nationally recognized program.   The early success of the ASA men’s basketball program has set the tone  for even bigger and better results.  In  fact, just this past season (2008-2009) under his guidance the ASA  men’s basketball team was a finalist in the Region 15 Division One Men's  Basketball championship game in only the first year of existence. This tremendous first season accomplishment comes on the heels  of his last season at Globe (2007-2008) when he coached the team to the Region  15 Division One Men's Basketball regular season and post season championships  and helped guide them to the District 3 Championship Game.

Coach Wilcox garnered the 2007-2008  Region 15 Coach of the Year along the way as well as winning the regional coach  of the year honors also in 2005-2006 and 2006-2007.  Coach Wilcox success  in Region 15 is also shown by 6 regular season or post season regional  championship in 8 years including the last 5.  Coach Wilcox record over  the past 3 years in Division One regional competition is 17-4 while overall he  has gone undefeated in regular season conference play 3 times.  In  2004-2005 Coach Wilcox led his team to 'Hutch', the NJCAA Division One National  Championship Tournament in Hutchinson, KS while earning District 3 Coach of the  Year honors.  That season solidified the program he built from scratch as  a national power.

Overall, Coach Wilcox has helped 24 former players move on to NCAA Division One  programs including student athletes transferring to the Big East, Conference  USA, Big 12 and Colonial. Over 50 players have moved on to 4-year schools at  other levels.  He has coached 5 players that have received All-American  honors by numerous magazines and athletic associations including back to back  NJCAA 2nd team All-Americans in Rob Robinson 06' and Jamual Warren 05';   Rob Robinson (Robert Morris) 2007,  Jamual Warren (Cincinnati)  Jamal  Nichols (Depaul) in 2004, Jimmie Inglis (Rutgers) in 2002 and Mike McKie (St.  Peters) in 2001.  He also coached one of  the few junior college players that had been drafted to the NBA in Victor  Sanikidze from the Republic of Georgia.  He was drafted #42 of the second  round of the 2004 NBA Draft by the Atlanta Hawks.
