The dynamic relationship between Rhyne Howard and Kyra Elzy

Rhyne Howard is a Kentucky legend whose accomplishments are endless. Kyra Elzy is a young head coach earning her stripes with every win. The pair’s self-described “love-hate” relationship is fascinating.

On Friday afternoon, Howard and Elzy held a press conference ahead of the team’s Senior Day on Sunday, or as they’re calling it, “Rhyne Howard Day.” While the pair discussed their upcoming game against Auburn, the conference quickly became a rare chance for Elzy and Howard to discuss their player-coach relationship.
