Kentucky assistant coach Joel Justus has been recognized as one of the top young coaches in the collegiate game.
ESPN released a list of the top 40 coaches under the age of 40, and the UK assistant coach made the list. Justus checks in at No. 25 on the list.
Here is what Myron Medcalf of ESPN had to say about Justus.
When he first joined Kentucky’s staff for the 2014-15 season, he was an analytics coach who put together detailed profiles of each player on the roster. Now, he’s one of the nation’s top assistant coaches and a rumored candidate for multiple jobs that could come open in the coming year or two.
I spoke with the parent of a UK signee recently who had nothing but praise for Justus.
