Ask any Big Blue Nation member right now who they feel is the best coach on campus at the University of Kentucky. I’d be stunned if their answer wasn’t Craig Skinner, who just led the Wildcats to their second volleyball Final Four in a half-decade while also sitting comfortably as heavy favorites to bring home a second national championship in the same span, too.
They’ve won nine straight SEC regular-season titles, then just brought home the SEC Tournament trophy for good measure, too. There is a standard of excellence that is simply not being met anywhere else in Lexington — nothing against the other programs, just all respect for Skinner and the culture he’s built with 21 consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances.
