Oklahoma men’s basketball coach Lon Kruger is set to announce his retirement after nearly four decades of coaching and 10 seasons with the Sooners, Colby Daniels reported in a stunning bit of news on Thursday.
Kruger, 68, steps away just days after his son, Kevin, was hired as UNLV’s head coach. He confirmed his retirement to Jeff Goodman of Stadium and told him his plan is to move back to Las Vegas to be close to his son and his grandids as Kevin embarks on his head coaching career.
Lon Kruger will retire, and is expected to move back to Las Vegas to be around his son, new UNLV coach Kevin Kruger, and also spend time with his grandkids.
