TicketsCINCINNATI – The Cincinnati men’s basketball team has added longtime NBA staffer Kelly Peters to its staff as special assistant to head coach Wes Miller, the program announced Friday. Peters possesses more than a decade of experience in the professional ranks with the Golden State Warriors and Philadelphia 76ers organizations.
“Kelly brings a wealth of experience and perspective from almost a decade in the NBA with multiple organizations,” head coach Wes Miller said. “We’re glad to have him join the staff as we continue our preparation for the season.”
Peters most recently spent time as an assistant coach with USA Basketball’s FIBA Americas team and served as an advance scout with the 76ers from 2020-23 after spending a year with the team as a coaching associate and another year as an assistant coach with the team’s G-League affiliate, the Delaware Blue Coats. Prior to that, Peters, was an assistant coach for a season with the Santa Cruz Warriors after spending three years as an advance scout with the Golden State Warriors.
“I’m really excited to hit the ground running and have the opportunity to work with Coach Miller, this staff and this team,” Peters said. “I look to bring NBA-level championship experience to a program with this type of history, commitment and community to help us compete in the Big 12 and nationally.”
Peters, who has four years of previous experience working for Turner and CBS helping broadcasters prepare for the NCAA Tournament, spent 14 years at his alma mater, Torrey Pines High School, helping the program to 10 league titles and two CIF Section championships.
