With a list of achievements nearly too long to mention, University of Kentucky’s Women’s Basketball Coach Kenny Brooks has been named Coach of the Year by The Sporting News.
In less than a year, Brooks has racked up more than 20 wins, including 10 SEC victories, led the way in breaking nine school records, and earned five AP Top 25 wins.
And this not to mention his administrative success.
In the same stretch of time, Brooks signed 11 new players, hired a matching 11 new coaches and staffers, and produced two @hoophall finalists for the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.
And, still, there’s more.
Gaining in popularity due to Brooks and company’s many achievements, the women’s program also sold out reserved season tickets and had four games that were entirely sold out.
The teams next challenge will come with Liberty University on Friday at noon at Historic Coliseum in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
