Media praises Kentucky’s “home run hire” of Bruiser Flint

On Tuesday, the Kentucky Wildcats’ long-time assistant coach Kenny Payne decided to accept a job offer to become an assistant coach for the New York Knicks.

Shortly after the announcement, it was reported that Bruiser Flint who was an assistant under John Calipari at UMASS, would be leaving Indiana to join the staff at Kentucky and replace Payne.

Flint took over for coach Cal as the head coach at UMASS when Cal left and later went on to be the head coach at Drexel. He spent 20 years as a D1 head coach winning 331 games and he has over 30 years of coaching experience.
