The Kentucky Wildcats have officially opened a coaching role for former Wildcats and NBA superstar Anthony Davis, following the announcement that he has earned his professional coaching badge.
Davis, who starred for Kentucky during their dominant 2011-2012 NCAA Championship season, recently completed his coaching certification and has expressed a desire to return to the college basketball scene in a mentorship and developmental role.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Anthony back in this new capacity,” said Athletic Director Mitch Barnhart. “His understanding of the game, leadership qualities, and passion for developing young athletes make him a natural fit for our coaching staff.”
Though Davis has not yet confirmed whether he will take the offer, insiders suggest the former NBA champion is seriously considering the opportunity as he transitions into the next phase of his basketball career.
Fans have already taken to social media to express excitement over the potential return of one of Kentucky’s most celebrated players.
The Wildcats are currently undergoing a staff restructuring following the recent departure of associate coach Kenny Payne, opening the door for fresh faces with deep ties to the program.
If Davis accepts the position, it would mark a full-circle moment for the 8-time NBA All-Star, returning to the institution where his legendary journey began.
