In a stunning development that’s sending shockwaves through the college basketball world, Kentucky Wildcats women’s basketball star Georgia Amoore has made a major announcement that directly involves head coach Kenny Brooks.
Amoore, who transferred to Kentucky this past season and quickly became a standout leader on the court, revealed in a press conference today that she will be forgoing her final year of NCAA eligibility to declare for the WNBA Draft. But that wasn’t the only bombshell—she also publicly praised Coach Brooks for “changing the course of her career” and hinted at behind-the-scenes tensions within the athletic department that could impact the future of the coaching staff.
“I wouldn’t be the player I am today without Coach Brooks,” Amoore said. “But I also can’t stay silent about some of the challenges we’ve faced as a program. I hope this moment sparks the support and structural changes we desperately need.”
When asked directly if Coach Brooks’ future with the Wildcats is uncertain, Amoore declined to elaborate, stating, “That’s a conversation for the university, but I’ll say this—he deserves better.”
The University of Kentucky has not yet released a formal statement. Fans and analysts are now speculating whether this could signal deeper turmoil within the program or simply a passionate endorsement of a coach under pressure.
