A former Kentucky Wildcat will now take on coaching on the collegiate level. Northern Kentucky University announced Wednesday that Anthony Epps would be joining the coaching staff for NKU’s women’s basketball team. The naming of Epps as an assistant coach is effective immediately.
Most recently, Epps was the head boys basketball coach at Campbellsville High School, where he led the team to the 5th Region All-A tournament championship and worked as an Exceptional Child Education Teacher. Prior to serving as the boys head coach, he was the girl’s head coach at Campbellsville for three seasons, being named the 5th Region Co-Coach of the Year in 2017.
Epps is no stranger to success in the Bluegrass State. Following a distinguished prep career that included a 1993 KHSAA State Championship for Marion County High School, he went on to an exceptional career at the University of Kentucky where he was a member of the 1996 NCAA National Championship team and then helped lead the Wildcats to the Final Four in 1997 as a team captain.
