K.T. Turner, who has been a mainstay in the college basketball coaching profession for nearly 20 years, will join the Kentucky men’s basketball staff as its newest assistant coach in 2022-23.
“I knew that when we had an opening, K.T. Turner would be our next guy I’d be calling on,” UK head coach John Calipari said.
Turner comes to Lexington after spending one season with Oklahoma as an associate head coach under Porter Moser in his first year as head coach. The Sooners went 19-16 and advanced to the second round of the National Invitation Tournament.
Turner and his wife, Cassaundra, have three children, Kelis, Kenny and Kendra.
