Head coach KT Turner has completed the assembly of his coaching staff for the 2026‑27 season, a group he says will anchor the Mavericks’ push for lasting competitiveness. The roster blends seasoned veterans with rising talent, each bringing a distinct set of skills that align with the program’s ambition to sustain success on and off the court.
A Coaching Ensemble Built for Success
Sean Stout joins the staff after stints at SMU and the San Antonio Spurs, where he helped the Mustangs capture multiple conference titles and earned NCAA Tournament bids. His focus on operations and recruiting is expected to sharpen the program’s ability to attract high‑caliber prospects while streamlining day‑to‑day logistics.
Derrick Obasohan, a former UTA standout and Nigerian Olympian, returns to the program as a player‑turned‑coach. His professional playing background and deep ties to the university’s alumni network provide a unique perspective that bridges past achievements with future aspirations.
Jerrance Howard, renowned for his elite recruiting credentials, brings a wealth of experience from programs including Arizona State, Kansas, Texas, Illinois and Texas A&M. His track record of securing top talent across the nation is poised to expand the Mavericks’ reach in the competitive recruiting landscape.
Wendell Moore, whose coaching career spans more than two decades across multiple levels, has led turnaround efforts at Lamar and Prairie View A&M. His ability to develop players and shape program culture adds a steadying influence that complements the staff’s broader strategic goals.
B.J. Letcher, a player development specialist, rounds out the group with leadership roles in elite club basketball and college coaching. His connections to grassroots programs and professional networks are expected to accelerate the growth of current roster members and future recruits alike.
Together, this cohort represents a deliberate blend of championship experience, proven recruiting pipelines, and developmental expertise. The staff’s combined decades of coaching experience and championship success aim to elevate the Mavericks into a perennial contender within the Western Athletic Conference and beyond.
