UK officials reportedly to meet with potential head coach candidate

LEXINGTON, KY. (ABC36 NEWS NOW) – UK officials are reportedly meeting with Baylor Men’s Basketball Coach Scott Drew, a potential candidate to replace John Calipari, who was named head coach of the Arkansas Razorbacks earlier today (4/10). That’s according to Jon Rothstein with CBS Sports.

Our crews were able to track a private plane, owned by UK booster Joe Craft, from takeoff in the Waco, TX area, to the airport in Georgetown, Ky., where it landed just before noon EDT. Waco is the home of Baylor University.

ABC36 News Now crews are stationed at the Joe Craft Center in Lexington, and in Fayetteville, Arkansas, where Calipari is scheduled to be introduced as the new Razorbacks’ coach later today.

This is a developing story, which we’ll continue to update as today’s events unfold.
