Oregon Ducks assistant coach Chuck Martin has been hired by the University of Kentucky to join the men’s basketball staff, the school announced Thursday. He’s been given the title of assistant coach and recruiting coordinator.
Martin reunites with head coach John Calipari after the two worked together for the Memphis Tigers from 2006-08, a run that included a national runner-up finish in the 2007-08 college basketball season.
“I’m extremely excited to be reunited with Coach Cal,” Martin said in a press release. “I’m looking forward to joining his tremendous staff and being a part of something greater than myself.
