Oregon assistant coach Chuck Martin has emerged as a likely addition to round out John Calipari’s staff in Lexington, multiple sources tell KSR.
The NCAA voted to approve an increase of two coaches in men’s and women’s basketball, who will be allowed to engage in coaching activities but may not recruit off campus. That rule is set to take effect starting July 1, paving the way for five on-court assistant coaches in Martin, Orlando Antigua, Chin Coleman, John Welch and Bruiser Flint at Kentucky.
Conversations between Calipari and Martin first began in the spring.
