Coaching Staff

Nathan Kennedy - Assistant Coach

Nathan Kennedy recently completed his second season as an assistant coach at Arkansas Tech. Kennedy joined the Wonder Boys staff prior to the 2020-21 season when head coach Mark Downey was announced to be making his return to Tech as the head coach earlier that summer.

Prior to his appointment at Tech, Kennedy was an assistant coach on Downey's staff at the University of Charleston (Charleston, W.Va.) for two seasons from 2010-11 to 2011-12 and at the University of West Alabama (Livingston, Ala.) for one season (2013-14) while most recently serving as an assistant coach at Northeastern State University (Tahlequah, Okla.) the past three seasons (2017-18 – 2019-20).

Kennedy's time alongside Downey have yielded a tremendous amount of success. Twice the two have helped lead their program to the NCAA Tournament with appearances while at Charleston in 2011-12 and in their lone season at West Alabama in 2013-14. In eight seasons coaching alongside one another their teams have won over 100 games and have posted four winning seasons.

In joining Downey's staff upon his initial hire at Northeastern State in 2017-18, Kennedy helped guide the turnaround of that program that saw an increase in wins each season, culminating with 18 victories in 2019-20. In the season prior to Downey and Kennedy's arrival in Tahlequah, the program had won just five games and hadn't won double-digit games since 2013-14.
