The University of Alabama at Birmingham Athletics
A Letter to the Blazer Family from Coach Kennedy
3/20/2020 1:08:00 PM | Men's Basketball
Dear Blazer Family,
On behalf of my wife Kimber and our two daughters, I am blessed to be able to return to my alma mater, in a city that I love, to lead this storied basketball program. I want to thank Dr. Watts and Mark Ingram for believing in me and affording me this tremendous opportunity.
In 1977, when Gene Bartow came to the Magic City to start UAB Athletics, he did so with a vision to create a nationally relevant basketball program. It is now my mission to restore this program back to its rightful place on the college basketball landscape.
As a Blazer myself, I am very familiar with both the passion and expectations that our beloved city has for UAB Basketball. It's going to take every player on our team, each member of our staff, and every one of you in the UAB and Birmingham communities to get behind our program to help us get there. While there is much work to be done ahead, we are going to take this program where it belongs together.
For starters, we need you in Bartow Arena this upcoming season! I urge you to renew your season tickets, purchase new season tickets, join Blazer Boosters, and help spread the word. 2020-21 season ticket packages are available now starting as low as $100. You can also request more information on season ticket options here. Let's bring the magic back to Bartow Arena and make it one of the biggest home court advantages in the country.
It truly is great to be home. GO Blazers!
