OU basketball: Assistant coach Kevin Kruger leaving for UNLV

Kevin Kruger will leave his dad's staff at Oklahoma to accept an assistant coaching job at UNLV, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Kevin Kruger has spent the last three seasons on Lon Kruger's Sooner staff.

Kevin Kruger played for the Runnin' Rebels under his dad in the 2006-07 season as a graduate transfer. He played his first three seasons at Arizona State.

“This has always been home,” Kevin Kruger told the Review-Journal. “When people ask me where I’m from, I’ve always said Vegas. It’s a great feeling to be able to come back home.
