Adam Turner
PGC BASKETBALL DIRECTOR
I came into Coach Turner’s program as someone who thought they had a well-rounded knowledge of the game of basketball, but the everyday learning culture that Coach Turner created showed me how much more there was to explore. When it comes to both X’s and O’s and player development, Coach Turner opened doors in my game that I didn’t even know were there. He helped me build a mindset that set me apart on and off the court.
– Harry Johnson, former Bard College basketball player
Adam Turner played his college career at Bard College where he holds the Raptors’ career scoring record with 1,785 points. As an undersized post player, Adam had to continually match up against bigger, stronger players throughout his career. Adam experienced phenomenal success due to his student-of-the-game mentality, his pursuit of excellence, craftiness as a player and unrelenting spirit. As a result of his efforts, Adam was a four-year starter, a three-year team captain and a two-time NCAA Division III All-American while at Bard.
Adam graduated from Bard College in 2006 and took his first step into the collegiate coaching ranks as an assistant for the Raptors during the 2006-07 season. He also served as the Director of the Hoop Group Skills Camps. In 2009, Adam took over as head coach of the men’s basketball team at his alma mater.
Adam was first introduced to PGC Basketball, then known as Point Guard College, in 2007. Since that time, Adam has instructed at many PGC sessions and has referred countless high school players to PGC, along with bringing many of his own college players to PGC.
He and his wife Danielle have one daughter, Sawyer Rose.
“Championships are not won on the night of the big event, they are won years before by players who commit themselves daily to championship principles.”

I don't have the opportunity to play club basketball but this training has helped me tremendously in being a threat and a major leader on my boarding school team not only that but to train at the next level in the summer in order to get where I need to go!
