BREAKING: Kyra Elzy signs extension through 2027 season

Kentucky women’s basketball coach Kyra Elzy has signed a contract extension that will keep her in Lexington through the 2027 season, the school announced Monday.

The extension comes after Elzy led Kentucky to its first Southeastern Conference Tournament title in 40 years and back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances.

UK Director of Athletics Mitch Barnhart announced the amendment to the contract Monday. The completed amendment will be posted on the UK Office of Legal Counsel’s website.

“We’re excited to extend Kyra and continue our investment in women’s basketball and in her as a coach and positive role model in our community,” Barnhart announced.
