Assistant Coach
Russ Abner is in his second season as assistant men’s basketball coach at Asbury University. In Abner’s first season he helped guide the Eagles to an overall record of 20-11 and a trip to the KIAC Semifinals.
Abner is no stranger to college basketball. The Science Hill, KY native served as a student manager at Eastern Kentucky University from 2006-2009. During that time the Colonels went 53-41 and won an OVC Tournament Championship in 2007, advancing to the NCAA Tournament to play the University of North Carolina. Among his duties at EKU, Abner supported the basketball operations director, assisted in the management of all team practices and games, and assisted the coaching staff with scouting reports and basketball drills. Abner has also spent the last few summers working basketball camps at the University of Kentucky, Army-West Point Military Academy, and professional basketball player Tayshaun Prince’s summer basketball camp.
In 2010, Abner enlisted into the United States Navy and currently serves in the Navy Reserves.
Russ and his wife Krista reside in Lexington, KY.
