proper send off amongst the two teams he had accomplished so much with. Turner bid farewell to Irish basketball with a 35-point effort in what was an 83–62 win for Killester. Killester finished the season in fifth position with a 13–9 record, and thus missed out on qualifying for the Champions Trophy tournament. Turner appeared in all 22 regular season games for Killester in 2016–17, averaging 21.6 points, 12.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 2.1 steals and 1.6 blocks per game. He was subsequently named to the Men's Super League All-Star First Team. Post-playing career In April 2017, Turner moved back to the United States and settled in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His family moved over and joined him that summer after his eldest daughter finished school in Dublin. Every summer between 2009 and 2016, Turner was a guest coach with Pete Strobl's successful Pittsburgh-based basketball academy The Scoring Factory. Turner and Strobl briefly played alongside each other with Ballina in 2007. Turner joined the staff on a full-time basis in the spring of 2017 following the conclusion of his playing career. For the 2017–18 season, Turner served as an assistant coach for the Chatham University men's basketball team. For the 2018–19 season, he served as an assistant coach for the Carnegie Mellon University men's basketball team. Personal life Turner and his Irish wife, Leesa, have three daughters. The couple met in Dublin in 2003. Leesa (née Grennell) is a member of one of Irish basketball's great families; a daughter of Martin, a sister of Johnny, and a fine player in her own right for the Killester women's team. During his career, Turner would often pretend to rip open the front of his top when celebrating, a la Superman, a nickname Ron Artest would call him when they played together on the playgrounds of New York in the 1990s.
