Bryan Settle, who was about to begin his second season as Kentucky basketball’s equipment manager, has resigned. No official word yet on why he abruptly resigned.
UK spokesman DeWayne Peevy confirmed Settle’s resignation.
Settle was one of many staffers who came to UK from Memphis with John Calipari. He had worked on Calipari’s staff the previous six seasons, which included stints as a manager and video coordinator.
Settle’s resignation before his second season stands in stark contrast with his predecessor. The late Bill Keightley set the standard for longevity in as equipment manager. He worked in the equipment room from 1962 until his death in 2008.
Jerry Tipton of the Lexington Herald- Leader has covered Kentucky basketball since the 1981-82 season. That time includes five coaches, five Final Fours, four athletic directors, two interim athletic directors and many memories. Before coming to Lexington, Tipton worked eight years for the Huntington (W.Va.) Herald-Dispatch. He covered Marshall’s basketball team for two seasons before coming to the Herald-Leader.
