From UKAthletics.com:
“I’m excited to announce that Kyra Elzy has been promoted to associate head coach,” Mitchell said “She is such a good fit here (at UK) because she has a tremendous passion for teaching and being involved with our players. That is the first thing I want for anyone involved in any level of our organization. We want to make certain our players are being lead but we want to lead with a servant’s heart and Kyra is the epitome of that. She works extremely hard and she is always first and foremost concerned about the players. From a talent stand point and where it really impacts recruiting, she is extremely creative. She is a tireless worker, unbelievably organized, has great leadership skills and just keeps everyone moving forward in recruiting. On the court, she has very good knowledge of the game and is not afraid to make suggestions. I just couldn’t have a better person in this position. I think she’s one of the most talented people I’ve ever been around. We’re really fortunate to have her here.”
