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.
