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.
Last season, he led the Skyhawks to a school record 22 wins and their first regular-season championship.
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.
