Kyra Elzy has officially been named head coach of the Kentucky women’s basketball team, the school announced Monday.
Athletics director Mitch Barnhart ha removed the interim tag from Elzy, who took over the program after Matthew Mitchell retired prior to the 2020-21 season.
“A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of introducing Kyra Elzy as our interim head women’s basketball coach,” Barnhart said in a press release. “Circumstances at that point in time were turning quick and had not allowed Kyra and I to talk about her plans, her style and her leadership of our program.
