Former UK Hoops coach Mickie DeMoss will make her first return to Rupp Arena since abruptly leaving the team in an unexpected manner four years ago.
DeMoss is now an assistant at Tennessee.
The former UK coach was asked what she expects tomorrow night when Tennessee heads to Lexington:
[QUOTE] Mickie DeMoss has never been short on quick wit.
So when asked what she expects the fan reception to be when she returns to Memorial Coliseum for the first time since she abruptly resigned her head coaching job at Kentucky four years ago, she laughs.
“I’ll probably have to dodge a few whiskey bottles,” said DeMoss, now a Tennessee assistant again.
It’s been four years since De Moss shocked the women’s basketball world and stepped down from her job as UK head coach, leaving behind a new, lucrative five-year contract, a shiny, plush new office at the Joe Craft Center, a top-10 recruiting class and a large crop of talented returning players.
DeMoss also left behind a lot of questions and teary-eyed players who wanted the coach that recruited them to stay.[/QUOTE]
