Cameron Turner has officially been named the head coach of the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA) men's basketball team, taking over from Rusty Osborne. At a press conference held at the Alaska Airlines Center, Osborne expressed confidence in Turner, who previously served as his assistant from 2011 to 2017. Turner, who has spent the last four seasons coaching at Eastern Arizona College, is eager to continue the legacy of the Seawolves, who reached the Division II national tournament last season. He emphasized the importance of familiarity with Alaska and expressed pride in returning to the program. Turner plans to recruit aggressively within the state and bring some of his former players to UAA. With a focus on adapting to NCAA rules, he is prepared for the challenges of modern college basketball, including roster turnover due to the transfer portal. His familiarity with the junior college system is expected to be an asset in building a competitive team.
