Quick Glance: John Calipari Plans to Continue as Kentucky's Head Coach. 'I Love This Job.'
  • John Calipari intends to continue serving as the head coach at the University of Kentucky in the future. This intention was evident during his final radio show of the 2023-24 season on Monday night.

  • Calipari expressed remorse in his opening statement and discussed the 'standard' of Kentucky basketball, which he has embraced since assuming his role in Lexington in 2009.

  • Following the elimination in the first round of the NCAA Tournament last week, Calipari deliberated on potential changes for the future and emphasized his readiness to 'how we can be better.'

  • Despite the recent early losses in the NCAA Tournament, Calipari has secured the No. 2 recruiting class in the country for the upcoming season and is planning to explore possible additions in the NCAA transfer portal.

Quick Glance: Kenny Brooks' Virginia Tech Exit and Its Impact on Kentucky
  • Two days after fourth-seeded Virginia Tech was upset in the second round of the women's NCAA tournament, Kenny Brooks has stepped down to take over as head coach of the Kentucky Wildcats.

  • Brooks boasts an impressive career record as a Division I head coach with a .717 winning percentage in 22 seasons. He replaces Kyra Elzy in Lexington after she was let go due to consecutive losing seasons.

  • Brooks brings a successful tenure at Virginia Tech, where he led the team to a Final Four appearance and led the ACC in offensive efficiency and effective field goal percentage. In contrast, Kentucky ranked last in both categories this past season.

  • Brooks' departure signifies a time of transition for Virginia Tech, as the team was already facing changes with key players potentially leaving. The Hokies now need to find a new coach who can continue the success under Brooks, while the ACC navigates a period of uncertainty.
