Kevin Hogan literally has basketball in his blood.
Hired in Summer 2014 after two seasons at William and Mary, Hogan grew up around basketball. His father, Don, was the longtime (1993-2009) head coach at West Florida and currently is the associate head coach on Cliff Ellis’ staff at Coastal Carolina.
After an outstanding college basketball career at Rollins College in Winter Park, Fla., and then gaining his MBA in finance from Crummer Graduate School of Business at Rollins in 2009, Hogan eschewed the financial world—he could not shake the coaching allure.
As a result of his basketball acumen, Hogan was able to jump right into the Division I level as a volunteer. That first stop took him to Florida A&M for two seasons (2009-11) before he spent a season at the junior college level at Tallahassee Community College (2011-12), where he helped the Eagles to a 15-13 record.
Hogan returned to the Division I level in 2012, when he was hired as director of basketball operations. During his time at William and Mary, Hogan saw the Tribe enjoy one of the best turnarounds in program history in 2012-13 season—improving from six wins to 13—and roll up 20 victories in 2013-14. The Tribe advanced to the Colonial Athletic Association championship game in 2014 for only the third time in program history and finished the CAA regular season at 10-6. William and Mary set school records for points, three-point percentage, assist-to-turnover ratio and fewest turnovers, while ranking among the top 31 nationally in three-pointers made, three-point percentage, fewest fouls per game, field-goal percentage, fewest turnovers per game and assist-to-turnover ratio.
A Pensacola, Fla., native, Hogan starred at Milton High School, before enrolling at Fork Union Military Academy in Fork Union, Va., where he played for legendary prep school coach Fletcher Arritt.
He then returned to Florida to play collegiately at Rollins. Over his career, Hogan appeared in 129 games with 58 starts, while helping the Tars to three 20-win seasons, an overall mark of 88-34 and two NCAA Division II South Region Tournament appearances. Rollins won Sunshine State Conference (SSC) regular-season titles in 2006 and 2007 to go along with a tournament crown in 2006.
An outstanding perimeter player, he graduated ranking second in three-pointers made (270) and third in third-point percentage (44.0). He became the 34th player in Tars’ history to scored 1,000 career points and finished with 1,295.
As a senior, he earned honorable mention All-SSC honors and capped his career, garnering SSC All-Tournament accolades. He was an All-Freshman Team choice as a rookie in 2006. Hogan led the SSC in three-pointers made as a junior with 84, while connecting on 46.7 percent from long range. Over his career, he averaged in double figures each of his last three years at Rollins, scoring 10.9 points per game as a sophomore, 12.8 as a junior and a career-best 13.7 in his final campaign in 2009.
Hogan and his wife Haley, have two children, Graham, age 5, and Brooks, age 2.
