The reports are true. Chuck Martin is the newest member of John Calipari’s staff at Kentucky. Kentucky just sent out a press release confirming the hire, which has been whispered about for the past few weeks and even teased by Calipari in his press conference late last week. Martin worked with Calipari at Memphis from 2006-08. He was most an assistant at Oregon (2022-23) and South Carolina (2017-22).
“Chuck is a veteran in this profession who will be a great benefit to our team and staff,” Calipari said. “He has ties not only to me when we were on staff at Memphis together but also to several other members of our staff.
