Kenneth B. Sidwell is an American former college head basketball and baseball head coach. He coached Belmont's basketball team from 1962 to 1964 and again from 1972 to 1974, as well as Tennessee Tech from 1964 to 1969.[1][2] In baseball, Sidwell coached Belmont from 1963 to 1964. He was also the first full-time athletic director in Belmont's history.[2] He was inducted into Belmont's Hall of Fame as a coach and administrator in 1993.[2]
As an athlete, Sidwell starred in both sports when he attended Tennessee Tech. In his four-year basketball career, Sidwell was a three-time all-Ohio Valley Conference player, a Little College All-American, and when he graduated he was the school's all-time leading scorer.[3] He had his jersey retired and was inducted into Tennessee Tech's Hall of Fame in 1977.[4]
