It’s officially official. K.T. Turner is joining Kentucky’s staff as an assistant coach. The University of Kentucky just announced the hiring in a press release featuring quotes from Turner and John Calipari. He replaces Jai Lucas, who left the program in April to take the same job at Duke.
“I am grateful for the opportunity to work at the University of Kentucky,” Turner said. “I’ve always wanted to work under John Calipari and be a part of his program. He has been on the forefront of college basketball for a long time. My family is extremely thankful for the opportunity to live in the state of Kentucky and be a part of the Lexington community.
