LEXINGTON, KY — A wave of excitement swept through Rupp Arena today as former Kentucky men’s basketball legend Tayshaun Prince officially returned to his alma mater, taking on a new role as Senior Coaching Advisor for the Wildcats. The announcement was met with thunderous applause from fans and alumni, thrilled to welcome back one of the program’s most iconic figures.

Prince, who starred for Kentucky from 1998 to 2002, was known for his smooth shooting, defensive prowess, and leadership on the court. He later enjoyed a successful NBA career, winning an NBA championship with the Detroit Pistons in 2004 and earning a reputation as a savvy, high-IQ player.

In his new role, Prince will mentor current players, assist the coaching staff, and contribute to player development, leadership training, and team culture. Head Coach John Calipari praised the move, calling it a “full-circle moment for one of the program’s greats.”

“Tayshaun knows what it means to wear Kentucky blue,” said Calipari. “His return will inspire this generation and help us chase championships.”

Fans can expect to see Prince on the sidelines this season—this time, not as a player, but as a guiding force.
