Keith Kim Anderson (born May 12, 1955) is an American former basketball coach and most recently was head coach for the Pittsburg State Gorillas.[1] Before his coaching career, Anderson was a professional basketball player, having stints in Italy, France, and with the Portland Trail Blazers.

Playing career

Born in Sedalia, Missouri, he played collegiately for the University of Missouri, and was drafted in the NBA twice: by the Portland Trail Blazers in the second round (28th pick overall) of the 1977 NBA draft, and by the Milwaukee Bucks in the seventh round (146th pick overall) of the 1978 NBA draft.

He played for the Trail Blazers (1978–79) in the NBA for 21 games.[2]

Coaching career

He was a court coach for Team USA during the Pan American Games Team Trials.

As head coach, he led the Central Missouri Mules to back-to-back MIAA championships and three appearances in the NCAA Division II Final Four in 2007, 2009 and 2014. In 2014, he led the Mules to the NCAA Men's Division II Basketball Championship by defeating West Liberty 84–77.[3]

In 2014, after the Mules' championship run, Anderson took over the head coaching job vacated by Frank Haith at the University of Missouri, his alma mater.[4] After three seasons of finishing in last place in the Southeastern Conference, Missouri asked him to step down on March 5, 2017.[5]

In March 2017, Anderson was hired as the Puttsburg State men's basketball coach, returning to the MIAA.[6] Anderson decided to retire as Pittsburgh State's head coach after the 2021–22 season, his fifth season.
