After a national search, Bard has announced that former Raptors player Adam Turner has been hired as assistant athletics director and head men's basketball coach.

He replaces longtime coach Chris Wood. Bard was 1-24 this past season.

Athletic director Kristen Hall said, "Coach Turner brings great enthusiasm and passion to the position. He has gained valuable experience with the Hoop Group, and has extensive knowledge in the most contemporary basketball theories. We have great confidence that coach Turner will attract basketball scholar athletes to our institution who will build our program to enhance our successes in the near future."

Turner, a 2006 graduate, was a four-year starter and three-year captain for the Raptors. During his career, Turner set Bard marks in many statistical categories, including career points (1,785), a mark which has yet to be beaten.

Upon graduation, Turner took his first step into the collegiate coaching ranks as an assistant for the Raptors during the 2006-07 season. Turner was involved in many aspects of the program both on and off the court, and was heavily involved in the recruitment of prospective student-athletes.

For the past several years, Turner has been the director of the Hoop Group Skills Camp. He was responsible for managing all aspects of the camp which involves more than 1,700 campers. Additionally, Turner directed two youth tournaments annually involving up to 100 teams, organized over 25 clinics for youths of all ages, as well as assisted in the administration of a variety of high school showcase events and AAU tournaments.

Turner inherits a program that returns senior and team co-captain Justin White, who was first-team All-Skyline Conference this past season.
