Kenneth Olin "Ken" Sisson

Coach Sisson is still the largest influence on my current 35 year coaching career at DeSales University. I still run some of his timeless drills for our pressure defense and shout BINGO on key made hoops at practice. Fond memories Coach- RIP

Coach made the beginning of NCAA basketball one of the most meaningful days of my life. Coach and I communicated on October 15 for many decades. Basketball and family were his passions. He was a great role model to me and many others.

October 15 became my special day because of Coach Sisson. October 15 is the official day for the first practice for NCAA basketball since 1967 for those of who played for Coach. RIP Coach- you are still one of my most important mentors.

Coach e-mailed me every year on October 15 to wish me well as I started coaching my DeSales University WBB Team. I miss Coach- he influenced my personal and basketball life on many levels. RIP Coach- you are missed.

Jerry & Sisson Family

I was sadden to hear of Ken's passing. I will miss his smile & sense of humor. May God Bless your family.

Love,

Lex & Ron Spinelli

Coach was a great role model to me and many young men at ESSC. It was my honor to play for him. I will always have the memories created by the basketball culture he created. He was a great family man- I enjoyed watching him during his child rearing years. Coach lived a full life. God Bless him and his family.
