The biggest news with Kentucky Basketball’s staff this summer is Jai Lucas leaving for Duke and K.T. Turner coming in to take his place. Turns out there was some more action behind the scenes. Assistant coach Chin Coleman received a one-year contract extension and raise in May. Jon Hale first broke the news this morning, and Coleman’s amended contract is now on UK’s website for your viewing pleasure.
Chin’s new deal raises his salary for the upcoming season from $500,000 to $575,000 and the 2023-24 season from $550,000 to $600,000.
