Rick Barnes joins Exclusive Coaching Club in Win over Kentucky

Tennessee head coach Rick Barnes joined an exclusive club Tuesday night in Knoxville. It’s not exactly SNL’s Five-Timers Club, but this group does include some of the best to ever strut down a college basketball sideline.

With Tennessee’s 76-63 victory over Kentucky at Thompson-Boling Arena, Barnes improved his record against Kentucky to 9-7 as the Vols’ head coach and 10-9 overall. Barnes is just the 13th coach in college basketball history to record ten wins over Kentucky. He’s the second to do so this year. Bruce Pearl notched his tenth win over the Wildcats last month at Auburn Arena.
