Kenneth Michael "Ken" McDonald (born March 4, 1970) is an American professional basketball coach who is currently the head coach of the Austin Toros of the NBA Developmental League. He previously served as an assistant coach with the Toros and as the head coach at the Western Kentucky University. McDonald spent from 2004 to 2008 at Texas under Rick Barnes. He previously worked as an assistant at Western Kentucky under Dennis Felton, from 1998–2003, helping the Hilltoppers reach the NCAA tournament during his final three seasons with the program.〔http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=3332347〕 McDonald has one daughter, Ella, born January 28, 2008. On January 6, 2012, Western Kentucky University released McDonald from his contract, citing lackluster attendance and a 5-11 start to the 2011–12 season. The firing came after a controversial game the previous night, which allowed Louisiana–Lafayette a game-winning shot with six players on the court during overtime. The error was discovered immediately after the game. Coach McDonald and athletic director Ross Bjork contested the results at the scorer's table. However, officials declined to review the incident due to NCAA rules. He was replaced by assistant coach Ray Harper in interim, who was eventually named head coach moving forward.〔http://wkuherald.com/sports/article_946c186a-3884-11e1-a123-001a4bcf6878.html〕〔http://wkuherald.com/sports/article_36dd5cd4-381d-11e1-ab1a-001a4bcf6878.html〕 In September 2013, he was promoted from assistant to head coach of the Austin Toros.〔(D-League news: Ken McDonald named head coach of Austin Toros )〕 On July 27, 2015, he signed a contract extension with the now Austin Spurs.〔(KEN McDONALD SIGNS CONTRACT EXTENSION )〕 ==Head coaching record== ‡ Fired on 1/6/2012 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ken McDonald (basketball)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
