Kyra Elzy, a former standout with the Tennessee Lady Vols, has left the Kansas women's coaching staff to become an assistant coach at Kentucky.

“It’s a great opportunity,” Elzy said. “I couldn’t pass it up. As much as I’ve loved Kansas, the staff and these players, to be close to home where I grew up and back in the SEC, what I’ve known my whole career after playing at Tennessee, is just a great opportunity for me.”

Elzy filled the vacancy left by former teammate Niya Butts, who left the Kentucky staff to become coach at Arizona.
