Tim Kisner, who was the first point guard to total 1,000 career points and 400 assists at Central Michigan University, was named assistant men’s basketball coach at Lake Superior State in September, 2011.

Kisner followed a Mid American Conference regular-season championship season at CMU by playing two seasons in the now-defunct Continental Basketball Association, three in Finland and two in Poland. He was part of national championship teams in both European leagues and was the first American player to be named captain for a game in Poland. He played over 350 professional games in seven countries before retiring as player in 2008.

After returning to Michigan, Kisner served as director of athletics and varsity basketball coach at Tri County High School in Howard City.  

Kisner is involved in all aspects of the coaching process and specializes in working with point guards. 

“He will be great for the development of our point guards,” LSSU head coach Steve Hettinga said. “He’s considered a very smart basketball player and has a good feel for the game.”
