Michael Turner
Women's Sports Analyst
I graduated from Virginia Tech in 1989 with a degree in international relations. I also have a Master’s, which included spending time in Romania, Russia, and Ukraine. I have had diverse career in academics, IT, and sports, and have had a passion for hiking and sports. Some of my favorite in-person memories as a Hokie are seeing the Kinzer salute to the NC State sideline in the Peach Bowl, watching Bimbo Coles go off for 51 points against Southern Mississippi, acting as a sports media photographer on the field for the rainy Military Bowl against Cincinnati, and watching the women’s basketball Final Four.
I coached high school and AAU women’s basketball for 20 years, hosted recruiting exposure events, and coached many players who have played in college. I will bring that perspective to covering the women's basketball team as well covering women's softball, soccer, volleyball, and other sports.
