Former Alabama basketball assistant coach Antoine Pettway has added a familiar face to his staff at Kennesaw State.
Former Alabama basketball assistant coach Antoine Pettway, who will enter his second season as head coach at Kennesaw State during the 2024-25 campaign, has added a familiar face to his coaching staff. On Monday, the program announced the addition of Philip Pearson as an assistant coach.
Pearson spent more than a decade on the Alabama staff and notably served as the program's interim head coach starting midway through the 2008-09 season. The departure of Mark Gottfried, whom he had followed to the Capstone from Murray State in 1998, prompted the move. Pearson was most recently an assistant at UAB on Andy Kennedy's staff.
Under Pearson's watch, the Crimson Tide closed out his brief stint at the helm with a 6-7 record and a 5-6 mark in SEC play. Though the team won four of its last five regular season games and its SEC Tournament opener, it failed to qualify for the NCAA Tournament. Pearson moved on to Georgia, joining forces with Mark Fox. He was an assistant there during the 2014-15 season, the last time the Bulldogs qualified for the Big Dance.
Current Alabama basketball assistant coach Preston Murphy, who has been instrumental in the construction of the Crimson Tide's roster,: Former Alabama star Johnny Mack Brown filmed his first movie “The Fair Co-Ed.” The silent movie would soon appear in screens across the country with Hollywood starlet Marion Davies sharing the spotlight with the ex-Crimson Tide halfback. The film was a comedy but promoted by Metro-Goldwyn Mayer Studios as being the best college movie ever made.
