Kenny Brooks, newly appointed head coach of Kentucky women's basketball, has started his coaching era positively, with the Wildcats boasting a 17-2 record and competitive standing in the SEC. The transition from Virginia Tech, where he coached for eight years, to Kentucky came as Brooks listened to the potential for a sustainable program. The Wildcats face a tough remaining schedule with six ranked opponents, making the upcoming games crucial as they build on their promising start amidst the competitive college basketball landscape.
After a lifetime of playing and coaching in his home state of Virginia, including 14 years at his alma mater, James Madison, Brooks' move to Kentucky was one of the biggest of the offseason in women's college basketball.
The Brooks era is off to a strong start in Big Blue Nation. The No. 12 Wildcats are 17-2 and tied for second in the SEC at 6-1.
I wasn't looking to leave, but I listened [to Kentucky]. And the more I listened, I felt like this is something that can be sustainable.
Kentucky's future schedule is challenging: Six of its remaining nine games are against ranked opponents, starting Thursday with No. 22 Alabama in Lexington.
