Bret Campbell Returns To The OVC
I must admit I found this a bit surprising when I read this e-mail from Murray State Assistant Athletic Director-Media Relation Dave Winder.
I think it's a good move for the Racers program. Bret Campbell brings a wealth of general basketball knowledge (X's and O's) to Murray State and a lot of Ohio Valley Conference knowledge to the table. He has been in the league since 1992 as an assistant or head coach. I just hope (for all involved) Campbell's recent issues at UT Martin do not negatively the the Racers program or Murray State University.
Coach Campbell resigned as the Skyhawks mens head basketball coach back in June after an internal audit showed he cashed checks for summer basketball camps (which goes against school policy) and a contract with Anaconda Sports that did not have school approval.
Here is the official release from Murray State concerning the hiring of Bret Campbell:
CAMPBELL JOINS MSU BASKETBALL AS DIRECTOR OF BASKETBALL OPERATIONS
Murray, Ky. --- Murray State Head Men’s Basketball Coach Billy Kennedy announced today that Bret Campbell will join the program and serve as the director of basketball operations.Campbell is no stranger to the Racers and the Ohio Valley Conference after leading the program at UT Martin as head coach for the last 10 seasons.
“I’m excited to have someone with Bret’s experience and abilities join our program,” Kennedy said. “He’s going to be an excellent addition to our staff.”
“I’m looking forward to the opportunity to work with Coach Kennedy and his staff,” Campbell said. “I have great respect for Murray State and their commitment to their athletics department.”
Campbell is a veteran of 17 years in Ohio Valley Conference basketball having been the head coach at UTM from 1999 to 2009 and at Austin Peay as an assistant from 1992-99.
Prior his time at UTM and APSU, Campbell was an assistant coach at Central Florida (1989-92), Birmingham Southern (1987-89), Kennesaw State (1985-87) and his alma mater, Valdosta State (1983-85).
He and his wife, Marcia, have three children, daughter Caitlin, 15, and sons Cannon, 12, and Carter, 10.
