You are arguing against.

So be kind, even if you are right.

Peaceful contemplation;

There is a time for dynamic action;

And all the time the lake remains itself.

Work and pray, think and believe.

Your opportunities. The choice is yours.

- Coach John Calipari

Success is the best

Builder of character.

- Coach Adolph Rupp

I believe that good defense embodies

Seven cardinal principles …

Reduce the number of your opponent’s shots;

Force your opponent into low percentage shots;

Control everything within 18 feet;

Eliminate second shots; no easy baskets;

Point the ball on all Long shots;

And prevent the ball from going into the pivot man.

- Coach Adolph Rupp

If a coach is determined to stay in

The coaching profession,

He will develop from year to year.

This much is true, no coach has a monopoly

On the knowledge of basketball.

There are no secrets in the game.

The only secrets, if there are any,

Is good teaching of sound fundamentals,

Intelligent handling of men,

A sound system of play,

And the ability to instill in the boys

A desire to win.

- Coach Adolph Rupp

We feel that every boy that puts

On a Kentucky uniform just plays

A little better than he would in

One of another color.
