Travis Ford finalizing a deal to return to coaching
Don’t expect to hear Travis Ford on a Kentucky basketball broadcast next season. The former UK point guard great, who spent the last couple of years around Big Blue Nation and occasionally served as a college basketball commentator, is heading back to coaching, according to a new ESPN report.
ESPN’s Pete Thamel and Jeff Borzello say Ford is finalizing a deal to become the new head coach at Little Rock. He will take over for Darrell Walker, who was fired after a disappointing year for the Trojans. Little Rock was picked to win the Ohio Valley Conference in 2025-26, but went 12-20 overall and 9-11 in the OVC, finishing seventh.
