Adolph Rupp - 4 National Titles
Joe B. Hall - 1 National Title
Rick Pitino - 1 National Title
Tubby Smith - 1 National Title
John Calipari - 1 National Title


That shows me that Kentucky is a program that can win with multiple guys. There is something there that is bigger than just one coach.

What exactly happened?

When UK got the death penalty it was from the mob influencing college players NOT getting the program in trouble for recruiting issues. In fact the main reason we even have the NCAA today and not the NIT as "the" basketball tournament was because Rupp was so angry he vowed never to take a team back to NYC. The NCAA agreed to these terms and their tournament grew while the NIT died.

One came with NCAA sanctions and 1 per decade is not like one every two or 3 years

Rupp wanted to play guys who had graduated early. They wouldn't let him so he refused to play in the NIT. Under today's rules those players were eligible.
