After her best season as the head coach at Murray State, head coach Rechelle Turner has received an extension to remain coach of the Murray State women’s basketball team through the end of the 2022-23 season.
Regent Eric Criegler brought up the decision to extend Turner’s contract during Murray State’s Board of Regents meeting on Feb. 26, complementing the work she’s done with her staff to turn the program around.
“She’s been improving the team throughout her tenure,” Criegler said. “And I just mentioned she seems to have them revved up going into the tournament, so the decision was made to extend her contract at the same compensation level.”
