Keith Freeman showed up in Albuquerque this week with much to learn and eager to get started.
He spent Wednesday afternoon prepping for his new position as associate head coach with the University of New Mexico women’s basketball team and signed a contract Thursday. Freeman and longtime Lobos assistant coach Val King will both hold associate head coach job titles on head coach Mike Bradbury’s revamped staff.
Freeman, 58, is undertaking a crash course on UNM’s 2022-23 squad. He watched Wednesday’s summer workout from the sideline, roster in hand, taking copious notes and doing his best to get familiar with players.
