Report: Kennesaw State to hire Alabama assistant Antoine Pettway as head coach

Kennesaw State is set to hire Alabama assistant Antoine Pettway as its next head coach, Stadium’s Jeff Goodman reported Friday. He interviewed for the position earlier this week, Goodman previously said.

Pettway, a former Alabama star, has been part of the Alabama staff since 2014 and became an assistant coach in 2017. He played for the Crimson Tide from 2000-04, starting as a walk-on and became a starter by the 2003-04 season. That year, he averaged 9.1 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game in 33 starts for the Crimson Tide.

Pettway will now replace Amir Abdur-Rahim, who left to become the head coach at USF after leading Kennesaw State to the NCAA Tournament this past season. In doing so, he’ll be the third Alabama assistant to leave and become a head coach this offseason, meaning Nate Oats will have a new-look staff next year.
