A Coach Many Do Not Know

Many people are not aware of Elston Turner. Turner is an assistant coach for the Sacramento Kings and has been doing so for 2 years. Prior to joining the Kings, he coached for the Portland TrailBlazers. Elston has been a part of professional basketball for 19 years as a player and then coach. Turner graduated from Ole Miss in 1981 and was a member of the 1981 Ole Miss team that made it to the NCAA Tournament. He was drafted in the second round by the Dallas Mavericks, and went on to play eight years in the league. Last year Turner was a member of the West Conference All-Star coaching staff. Could Turner be a front runner if a new Ole Miss basketball coach search comes up over the next several years?
