Kyle Wiltjer To Transfer From Kentucky

Jun 24, 2013 5:41 PM

Kyle Wiltjer has decided to transfer from Kentucky.

Wiltjer, entering his junior season, figured to have less playing time due to the strength of John Calipari's incoming class.

"After playing with Canada, Kyle feels like he could have a more prominent role in another program than he might have with us next season," wrote Calipari. "He expressed to me that that’s the kind of situation he wants to be in for his last two years of eligibility. For his future, he may be right."

Larry Brown Calls NBA Return 'Hypothetical'

Jun 5, 2013 1:58 PM

Larry Brown dismissed a report that he may return to the NBA as head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers, calling it "hypothetical."

Brown is currently head coach at SMU.

“I love what I’m doing,” said Brown. “But I’m in a situation where I think I can help young people. But I don’t ever want to get back into coaching at the professional level unless I have a great relationship with the ownership and people let me share the knowledge I have learned and work with young people that have the same values that I have.”

Brown was disappointed with the firing of Tony DiLeo.

“They have new ownership,” Brown said. “I think when Tony was let go I don’t think that they would have any interest in somebody like me. I love the team, I love the city. I have always felt that if there was any way I could help as a resource because of the way I was treated I would love to do that. But I think there are probably a lot of great options out there for them.”
