Turner BattleAssistant CoachFirst Season E-mail: tabattle@buffalo.edu Phone: 716-645-5058 Office: 206 K Alumni |
Turner Battle, who led the Bulls to their first modern post-season basketball tournament and was the Mid-American Conference Player of the Year his senior season, has joined head coach Reggie Witherspoon's staff as an assistant coach.
Battle, who was an Associated Press All-American as well as an ESPN the Magazine Academic All-American his senior season, scored 1,414 points (fifth all-time in UB history) and ranks fourth in Bulls history in three-point field goals made (126), fourth in free throws made (306), third in assists (458) and fourth in steals (170). He is credited with changing the face of Buffalo basketball with his leadership both on and off the court.
After his collegiate career ended, Battle spent the 2005-06 season playing professionally both locally (with the Buffalo Rapids) as well as around the world in Estonia, France and Sweden. After breaking his arm last summer, Battle spent the past year in Buffalo close to the Bulls program, while also getting his coaching career started at Sweet Home High School - coach Witherspoon's alma mater. With Battle on the bench, Sweet Home won the sectional title in a huge upset over perennial power Niagara Falls.
