Kentucky Women’s Basketball lost an excellent player in Blair Green this season, but they may have added an even better coach. The senior from Harlan County is out for the season after rupturing her Achilles tendon in a preseason scrimmage against Eastern Kentucky University. While Green may not be on the court, she’s undoubtedly affecting what happens on the hardwood.
Whether she’s helping her roommate Rhyne Howard warmup or advising teammates on the bench, Green is an integral piece for the ‘Cats. Head coach Kyra Elzy is doing everything possible to help “Coach Green” feel welcome in her new position.
