Mitchell Back at Lexington!: Kentucky Wildcats Resigns Matthew Mitchell as women Basketball Head Coach…

Perhaps Barnhart doesn’t need to look outside of Lexington for the next head coach … maybe he just brings back the guy who led the program to three Elite Eights? Mitchell, who amassed a 333-162 record with the Wildcats, stepped down in 2020 after undergoing brain surgery and dealing with a recovery process that he said was “life-altering for me and my family.” But Mitchell still lives in Lexington, is still beloved by the fan base and athletic department, and there are whispers that he might want to get back on the sideline. Where better to do that than UK?
