NORMAN, Okla. (AP) – Lon Kruger’s first day as the coach at Oklahoma involved a lot of time on the phone and a fast and furious start to practice.
Kruger brought assistants Steve Henson and Lew Hill with him from UNLV to oversee his first workout session with the Sooners on Tuesday. Henson and Hill were with Kruger throughout his time with the Runnin’ Rebels, and Henson has worked alongside him as far back as his final season at Illinois that concluded in 2000.
Kruger still has one opening on his staff, and he says he’s been busy fielding phone calls to fill it.
He also got his first chance to work with his new players, giving them an early taste of his uptempo system in about 45 minutes on the court while also assessing the roster he inherits.
