Biography

Head Coach Mark Turgeon crossed coaching tree with his family tree for his first hire, bringing Will Turgeon to the staff as an assistant coach heading into the 2026-27 season. "I'm super excited to add Will to my staff," the elder Turgeon said. "To be around him every day and to have a front row seat to watch him grow as a coach and person. He was born to be a coach, truly knows the game and sees it at an elite level. His ability to connect to the players is something I've always admired. He has a great eye for talent and will be a great recruiter for our program." In his role, Will is tasked with a myriad of responsibilities. He will assist in recruiting, player development, scouting, academics, compliance, fundraising and other everyday operations. "I've been a fan of this city for as long as I can remember," he said. "I've watched it celebrate championships at the highest level and I know firsthand what kind of pride and energy exists here. With the amount of local talent in this area, I believe there is no reason we can't build something special and win here." Will's most recent coaching experience came at Eastern Washington, where he was an assistant coach during the 2024-25 season. Prior to that, he spent a pair of seasons on the sideline with Colorado as a graduate assistant. During his time with Head Coach Tad Boyle (a former Mark Turgeon assistant at both Jacksonville State and Wichita State), the Buffaloes won 44 total games, including a 26-11 record in the 2023-24
