Eddie Kite came to Connors State College from the University of Houston with the challenge of returning the Cowgirl program back to its lofty status as a NJCAA national power. Since arriving in late 2003, he has consistently fielded competitive teams, leading the 2008-09 Cowgirl squad to a 30-5 record while being ranked in the NJCAA Top 10 all season, winning the Region II Championship and qualifying for the NJCAA National Tournament. The Cowgirl program has seen several student-athletes continue on in four-year programs at every level

This years' team should be no different. A very competitive 2009-10 team, going 21-8, returns three players, all of which saw plenty of playing time. Kite is relying on the leadership of those three to push a very athletic 2010-11 Cowgirl team back to the national tournament by playing a competitive schedule with teams from Texas, Kansas, Arkansas, and Missouri.

Kite arrived at the University of Houston after a two-year stint as assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at the University of Mobile. Kite helped turn around a program that was 13-19 the year before his arrival to 30-6 during the 2001-02 season. That season saw the Lady Ram program win the GCAC regular season and conference tournament championships, make its first NAIA National Tournament appearance in eight years, and its first ever "Sweet 16" appearance. The Lady Rams set new team records for team wins, winning percentage, and overall team defense. The University of Mobile also provided the WNBA with its only non-Division I draftee, 6'6 Edmarie Lumbsley.

Kite began his coaching career as an assistant at Central Florida Community College in 1991. He helped lead the Lady Pats to their first-ever NJCAA National Tournament, finishing as National Championship Runners-Up and ending the season with a 34-3 record. During his stint at CFCC, the program produced two NJCAA All-Americans and the 1993 NJCAA Champion Player of the Year (Connie Thornton, Texas Tech University). Kite traveled to East Texas Baptist University in 1993 to help the Tigers to their first-ever NAIA National Tournament appearance in 1994, finishing the season with a 25-8 mark. From ETBU, Kite traveled to Oral Roberts University as an assistant coach before arriving at the University of Montevallo (Al.) in 1996. While Kite was at Montevallo, the Lady Falcons played for the 1997 NAIA Regional Championship and appeared in their first-ever Gulf South Conference Tournament in 1999.

Kite received a Bachelor's of Art degree from East Texas Baptist University in 1995 and is currently working on a Master's Degree from East Central University in Ada, Oklahoma. He is a member of the Oklahoma Girl's Basketball Coaches Association.

A native of Murchison, Texas, Kite and his wife of twenty years, Sarah, have three children; Aimee (19), Clinton (15), and Shelby (12). The Kite family now resides in Warner, Oklahoma.
