The odd but budding rivalry between Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin and Louisville women’s basketball coach Jeff Walz took a significant step forward on Wednesday.
During an interview with Terry Meiners on 840 WHAS Wednesday afternoon, Bevin claimed that Walz was “out-coached” in Louisville’s Elite Eight loss to Connecticut. He also added that “if (Walz) had been a little more focused on game strategy and coaching that weekend and a little less on this kind of silliness, the better team would have won.”
After Bevin tweeted his congratulations to the Kentucky men’s basketball team on making the Elite Eight, Walz drew national attention for a response letting Bevin know that his team had advanced to a regional final as well.
