Product Description
Book Description
About 200 of Rupp's best quotes, spanning nearly a half-century, are included here, as are remembrances of him by fellow coaches, former players, and other acquaintances.
From the Author
I have tried to capture the essence of Adolph Rupp, through his own words and the words of others. Rupp was not only an excellent basketball coach but a fascinating person as well. It is my hope that readers will gain a better understanding of him.

Short, but good stories about Coach Rupp,
By
This review is from: Baron of the Bluegrass: More than 200 Quotes from and about Adolph Rupp, Legendary Kentucky Basketball Coach (Hardcover)
I was a fan of the UK Wildcats when I was younger--before I grew up--and I admired Adolph Rupp. The book is too short, but it is filled with stories about the man. It does not promote the myth that he was racist--he wasn't. He was just a man of his times, but he was a winner in everything he did.
