We do not know a whole lot about K.T. Turner, but now we do know the new UK assistant’s salary.
Records obtained by the Courier Journal reveal Turner will make $500,000 in the first season of his three-year contract. That number will increase annually $25,000, which is also the same amount as his Final Four bonus. If the Cats win a National title he’ll make an additional $50,000. Last year Turner made $400,000 as a member of Porter Moser’s Oklahoma staff.
The new UK assistant will be making more than his predecessor. When Jai Lucas left John Calipari’s coaching staff to team up with John Scheyer at Duke, he was earning $300,000 at Kentucky.
