John Calipari is expected to hire longtime coaching veteran John Welch to his staff at Kentucky, sources tell KSR.
The native of Portland, Maine will take one of five on-court positions going into the 2023-24 season, in charge of game planning and workouts. His addition comes alongside the departure of assistant video director Andrew Ortelli, who is set to take a new position at Temple, KSR has learned.
Welch was in Lexington interviewing for the position last weekend. An official announcement is expected in the near future.
The 60-year-old coaching veteran is the father of former Kentucky walk-on and graduate assistant Riley Welch.
