Welch arrived in Lexington last offseason as a full-time assistant coach under Calipari, leading the charge on player development while also helping with offensive strategy, scouting and game-planning. On-court training was his specialty, regularly seen with players before games and in practice helping perfect their respective crafts.
He was formerly an assistant at Fresno State from 1995-02 under legendary coach Jerry Tarkanian. Now, he’s back in California working with Walberg.
