His obituary posted by espn pretty much summed up his career, scandal at Kentucky leading their program to receiving a death penalty light. Long stint at Okie light that ended with a DUI arrest. Substance abuse and alcoholism. A couple final fours in 40 years. Coaching half a year at San Francisco to eclipse 800 wins during a losing season. Constantly being passed over by the Naismith hall of fame.
Eddie Sutton, this is your legacy.
