UK basketball head coach John Calipari announced Thursday night on Twitter that rapper Drake will serve as one of the two coaches for the UK alumni charity game Sept. 15 at Rupp Arena. The game will feature two teams of former UK players that are either current or former professionals. The game will tip off at 2 p.m., following a game between members of the 1996 national championship UK team and players from the John Calipari Basketball Fantasy Experience camp.
We'll have 2 coaches for the teams & tonight I'm letting the #BBN know first that @drake will be back in @rupp_arena as one of the coaches.
