Championship coach for a championship program. Coach Skinner represents the type of excellence we want, and we're happy to keep him in the blue and white 😼

In every place and position in life, Cliff Hagan embodied the word champion. In high school, in college and in the pros, he was heralded for his outstanding play and his leadership on and off the court.
For so many, his graceful and swooping hook shot and fierce, tough-nosed play defined an era of basketball, as an All-American player at UK and as a multi-time all-star in the pros. Later as a player-coach in the NBA and then as Athletics Director here, he led others to championships in competition and in life. It’s appropriate that he was the first UK alum to be enshrined in the Naismith Hall of Fame — a representation of his sustained excellence over decades.
I know everyone in the Big Blue Nation is thinking about the Hagan family at this time.
We have lost a legend.
National champion. Hall of Famer.
Athletics Director. Cliff Hagan left an extraordinary legacy at Kentucky and across the game of basketball.
BBN will be forever grateful for all he gave to Kentucky.
