Turner Thorne’s base salary is $444,200 and she receives a $20,000 raise each July 1. There also are incentive bonuses in her contract for her team’s athletic and academic performance and awards such as Pac-12 Coach of the Year (2 percent of annual salary).”
This is big news for ASU. Charli Turner Thorne has been one of the most winningest coaches for ASU and her extension means more success to come for the Women’s Basketball program.

“Experience matters, in football and in life. So when Doug Haller of the Arizona Republic asked outgoing Arizona State players what advice they’d give incoming Sun Devils, he received some pretty good wisdom, which would apply to any first-year FBS players.”
Great Article. Doug Haller is a great journalist and he always knows how to get the best out of his interviewees. The reason for choosing the ESPN piece over Haller’s original piece is that the ESPN piece is more narrative than Haller’s article. Haller’s article can be viewed here.

“New Arizona State beach volleyball coach Brad Keenan is busy trying to recruit the next April Ross. Meanwhile the current April Ross, Keenan’s wife since 2010, is deep into preparations for her second Olympics. She and Kerri Walsh Jennings are third in qualifying rankings for the Rio Olympics and will be formally named as U.S. Olympians after the final ranking tournament June 13.”
Michael Phelps helping coach the swim team and now Brad Keenan as the Beach Volleyball coach are two professionals within their given sport that have been brought in to teach the next generation of athletes. A very cool experience for these student-athletes being able to learn from the best. Having a coach that is going to the Olympics, even if it is just as a spectator, is something that ASU can be proud of and an experience that Keenan can draw from when coaching his players.
