LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- UK head women's basketball coach Matthew Mitchell is expected to make a full recovery after having surgery to remove a buildup of blood around his brain.
"Coach Mitchell suffered a concussion in March," said UK athletics spokesperson Evan Crane. "At the time, he believed he had recovered fully with rest and rehab. However, two weeks ago after experiencing a mild but persistent headache for an extended period of time, he sought medical attention. A subdural hematoma was discovered and he had successful surgery and is extremely appreciative of the excellent care he received at UK Chandler Hospital. He
Mitchell has gone 303-133 since taking over at UK in 2007.
