Was he equal to Coach Bear Bryant in his time?
His PreWooden dynasty was amazing and would have been even more so if not for outside issues at the time.

They coached together 7 years. He was the Baron of college basketball.

Yep, and Bryant said one of the reasons he left Kentucky was the year Rupp won the SEC BB trophy and Bryant won the SEC FB trophy - at the annual awards dinner, Rupp got a new Cadillac and Bryant got a new watch.

Rupp is a fascinating person.

Didn't read anything but the title but I'm assuming this thread is about his racism.
