The Kentucky Wildcats have their new assistant coach after Jai Lucas left to take a job on Jon Scheyer’s staff at Duke.
K.T. Turner is the new addition, leaving his position as the associate head coach at Oklahoma to join Calipari’s staff.
Turner has earned a reputation in college basketball as an excellent recruiter, specifically in the state of Texas, and player development through his 17 years as a coach.
Turner recently had his introductory press conference where he talked about both of those traits.
Turner has become known as an excellent player developer as he loves to study the game and pass his knowledge off to players.
