It’s finally official: Bruiser Flint is an assistant coach on Kentucky’s staff. UK announced the news this morning in a press release featuring quotes from Flint and John Calipari, longtime friends.
“Bruiser and I go back to our days at UMass,” Calipari said. “Bru is not only a terrific coach, he’s like my brother. You’re not going to find anyone that says a bad word about him. He forms great relationships with players because he listens, has a terrific personality and can relate to anyone. Bruiser has an incredible basketball mind and is going to help us in a lot of ways.
