Kevin App enters his 10th season as the Head Coach of the Williams College men's basketball team in 2024-25.

The 2023-24 Ephs earned the No. 1 seed and hosted the NESCAC Tournament at Chandler Gymnasium in Williamstown, Massachusetts, as Williams advanced to the conference title game. The Ephs went 23-7 overall and 9-1 in conference, as the unit won a pair of NCAA Tournament games and advanced all the way to the Sweet 16. The squad also earned a share of the Little Three crown. The Ephs defeated then-No. 4-ranked Trinity, 55-54, in thrilling fashion on Feb. 2 at Chandler, as the team overcame a six-point deficit in the final minute.

Coming off a Sweet 16 run in 2021-22, the 2022-23 Ephs secured a 23-5 overall record, a Little Three Championship, the top-seed in the NESCAC Tournament (first time since 2011), Round of 32 appearance in the NCAA Tournament and top-25 national ranking.

Overall, with App as Head Coach, the Ephs have totaled one NESCAC Player of the Year, two All-Americans, 12 All-NESCAC performers, seven All-Region honorees and one Academic All-American, while competing in five NCAA Tournaments (2017 Final Four, 2019 Elite Eight), winning the 2018 NESCAC Tournament and securing outright Little Three Championships (Williams, Amherst and Wesleyan) in 2020 and 2023.

Prior to Williams, App was an assistant at the United States Military Academy (4 seasons), where he helped the Black Knights post their first winning record in 28 years. He was also an assistant at Cornell University (1 season), where he assisted his alma mater, as the Big Red reached the NCAA Sweet 16, won the Ivy League Championship and set a league record with 29 wins.

App began his collegiate coaching career as an assistant to Mike Maker at Williams College in 2008-09. He helped the Ephs to a 17-9 record and their first outright Little Three Championship since 1996. He was instrumental in recruiting some of the key players that Maker guided to the 2013 Elite Eight and 2014 National championship game.

From 2004-07, App played college basketball at Cornell. The Silver Spring, Maryland, native served as tri-captain during his senior campaign and was voted the winner of the 2007 Rebounder's Club Award by his Cornell teammates. The honor recognized his hard work and leadership over four seasons.

App earned his bachelor's degree in civil engineering and worked as an engineer in the construction business before embarking on his coaching career. He and his wife, Katelyn, reside in Williamstown, with their three children - Morgan (7), Kyle (3) and Charlotte (1).
