Matthew Mitchell’s dance routines at Big Blue Madness became the stuff of Kentucky Basketball legend throughout his years as head coach. His retirement last fall was a huge blow to the Women’s Basketball program he’d built over the last decade-plus, but it left an even bigger hole in the BBM entertainment department.
Well don’t fret, you dance-crazed members of the Big Blue Nation; new head coach Kyra Elzy announced herself to the Rupp Arena crowd in thrilling (and slightly dangerous?) fashion.
After stepping in as interim head coach ahead of the 2020-21 season, the 2021-22 season will be the first full year as head coach of Kentucky Women’s Basketball for Elzy.
