There's some famous quote where Rupp said "as damn much as we are paying these players you'd think they could run the plays". Can't find it on google but come on man. They were right in the middle of that massive point shaving scandal in the 50s. Joe B Hall is implicated on your very own history site and don't get me started on Eddie Sutton. He was our coach too.

Your link doesn't support anything you claim. Aside from the point shaving, which obviously Rupp would have done something about had he known, nothing is alleged against Rupp, Joe B. Hall or Pitino. I'll give you that Eddie Sutton cheated; that's why he was fired after 4 seasons.

Then why did Kentucky not field a team in 1952-1953?

Joe B. Hall


I think the Lexington Herald-Leader won a Pulitzer for some of the shenanigans under Joe B. Hall. I still laugh at Melvin Turpin reading about that and yelling about why didn't he get paid?

See below.

Killean bailed me out. What say you now from your blue ivory tower?

Joe B Hall? Rupp retired, but in 1976 the NCAA said the Wildcat scholarships would be limited for two seasons because of recruiting violations by coach Joe B. Hall’s staff

Does google exist in Kenfricky? Geeze for being such basketball savants, you're pretty freakin' clueless about you inventing cheating in basketball.

UKs delusions about this clean pristine program are similar to Ole Miss thinking of itself as an "institution". Love it.
