New Kentucky football head coach Will Stein was asked about his thoughts on UK basketball casting a shadow over football this afternoon.
“I’m the biggest Kentucky basketball fan you will ever meet,” Stein replied. “I went to Tubby Smith Basketball Camp like four times. I won the hot shot award. I won the free throw competition. I hope every single program wins…basketball, baseball, football, women’s volleyball, gymnastics, you name it. I want this to be the best athletic program in the country. You’re not going to find me complaining about men’s basketball or any other sport here.”
