When word leaked out last week that Joel Justus was temporarily filling in for John Robic on UK’s coaching staff, there was some concern about Robic’s status on the staff, but worry not, UK fans. As was mentioned on KSR last week, all three UK Basketball assistant coaches — John Robic, Kenny Payne, and Tony Barbee — just received raises and contract extensions. The Herald-Leader obtained the documents, which show that associate head coach Kenny Payne will earn an average of $775,000 per year through the 2019-2020 season, a two-year extension from his previous contract.
