K.T. Turner joining UK basketball staff, per report

The Kentucky Wildcats have found their third assistant coach.

After nearly a month since Jai Lucas left for the Duke Blue Devils, Kentucky has found his replacement in Oklahoma Sooners assistant K.T. Turner, according to The Athletic reporter Kyle Tucker.

Turner, who joined Oklahoma for the 2021-22 season, was the program’s associate head coach. He previously held the same role with the Texas Longhorns during the 2020-21 season.

Before that, the 44-year-old Turner spent seven seasons at SMU, which included several seasons in which he worked under Larry Brown, who John Calipari has close ties to.
