Former Kansas basketball point guard/staff member Mark Turgeon carefully maneuvered his rental car on congested KU campus roads Friday afternoon before re-directing to Sports Pavilion Lawrence on the far west edge of town.
The 52-year-old, seventh-year Maryland head hoops coach dodged various detours while catching a glimpse of Allen Fieldhouse, Memorial Stadium, Strong Hall and some other familiar structures along the way.
“I talked to Bill (Self, KU coach) about all the growth on campus,” Turgeon said Friday after watching a Hardwood Classic AAU game with Oregon coach Dana Altman — the two seated in the same row of bleachers as Self.
