The 2009-10 season is Dedrick Shannon's sixth as head coach of the Cyclones. Shannon, a point guard on the 1995-96 team, returned to Moraine Valley with six years of coaching experience. He led his talented 2008-09 squad to a 28-5 season, ranking as high as 12th in NJCAA Division II, the best in Shannon's tenure. After a successful season, Shannon earned 2008-09 Illinois Skyway Conference Coach of the Year and Skyway Male Coach of the Year.

Before coaching at Moraine Valley, Shannon helped manage an independent basketball club/travel team. In addition, he served as a volunteer basketball coach and basketball coordinator at the Blue Island Recreation Center, overseeing teams from K-12th grade, and helping the program's overall growth and participation.

Shannon was a three-sport athlete at Eisenhower High School, including being a team captain for football, basketball and baseball and an all-conference selection for basketball during his senior year. Coach Shannon also captained the Cyclones' 1995-96 team.

"I believe in balancing hard work, physical preparation, and a commitment to academics," Shannon said. Armed with that philosophy, he has helped players attain their goals on the court and in the classroom.
