After 10 years at Oklahoma and almost 45 in coaching, Lon Kruger is calling it quits. Multiple outlets are reporting that Kruger will announce this afternoon he is retiring from the profession at the age of 68.
Kruger is the only coach to win at least one NCAA Tournament game with five different programs: Kansas State (1986-90), Florida (1990-96), Illinois (1996-2000), UNLV (2004-11), and Oklahoma (2011-21). He took the Gators to the Final Four in 1994 and the Sooners in 2016. Kruger coached against Kentucky 16 times, only winning twice, both times as coach of the Gators (1992, 1994).
