Turner Takes It South

Steve Turner, teaching. ron baileyA fixture on Gonzaga College High School's bench as head coach since 2005, after first joining the school in 1999 as an assistant coach, Steve Turner is also a staple of DMV high school hoops. Well, that connection better grow long tentacles, as he's recently accepted a similar position at national power Montverde (FL).

One of the top programs in America, Montverde has become destination watching for college coaches, recruitniks and fans. His work at Gonzaga - a nationally recognized entity who performs in arguably America's best pure high school league, the Washington Catholic Athletic Association - is nothing to sneeze at and certainly has prepared Turner for Montverde success. It's something about four league titles, a constant presence near the conference's top and producing a slew of college scholarship recipients that equips one for high level coaching gigs.



Add a long time USA Basketball relationship and NBPA Top 100 work to Turner's resume. From a Hoya perspective, Georgetown has recruited a number of his players, with Turner maintaining a positive outlook on Hoyadom. Historically, the top player lured from Gonzaga to The Hilltop was Mark Tillmon.
