The fact is Belle we still integrated before you and we never had a coach who said he would never have a black player on the team. Find me one UofL coach who said "a black man will never play for Louisville while I'm here" and I'll back off.
Problem for you is you'll never find it because it never happened.
Never mind we are one of the first schools if not the first school to have 2 black head coaches in football. UofL has always been on a forefront of diversity, UK has to be dragged kicking and screaming, lol.

I see you're not going to answer my question.
I don't have to find a UofL coach who said that. Not integrating until 1962 while being a northern school says plenty about UofL's stance on race relations.
Adolph Rupp integrated his high school team in Illinois BEFORE the University of Louisville integrated their collegiate team. Congrats.

And BTW Belle you still haven't answered my question on why Rupp never recruited players in the 1940s, 1950s, or 1960s. I'm waiting!!!

Have you ever had a black head coach in your championship/flagship sport? Feel free to call when you manage that.
We also had Bernadette Maddox who was the first black female men's assistant in the NCAA under Pitino.
But hey, you've hired two black coaches in a sport that almost folded in the 80s. We're all so proud.
