Hired in the summer of 2014, Kevin Sullivan is entering his third season as assistant coach for the Kenyon College Lords basketball team. Prior to his hiring, Sullivan assisted the men’s basketball program at Defiance College, where the Yellow Jackets compiled a 20-6 record in the 2013-14 season and were co-champions of the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference.
Before getting his coaching career underway, Sullivan attended DePauw University and played three seasons of basketball for the Tigers and their head coach Bill Fenlon. After coming off an injury that forced him to miss his sophomore season, Sullivan, a guard, played in 24 games as a junior, scored 120 points, and dished out 32 assists. As a senior, he was named team captain, played in 17 games, shot .536 on three-point attempts, and averaged 8.8 points per game. In his three seasons with the program, Sullivan helped the Tigers post a combined 49-31 record.
A native of Upper Arlington, Ohio, Sullivan graduated from DePauw in 2013 with a bachelor's degree in education studies and a concentration in interpersonal and rhetoric communication.
Sullivan’s brothers are also heavily involved in basketball. Chris, a Wittenberg University graduate, is an assistant coach at Denison University and Brian is a guard for the Davidson College Wildcats.
