I do not think I am Kentucky basketball,
I don't think that. I'm in
the seat temporarily.
If Kentucky basketball is about anybody,
It’s Coach Adolph Rupp.
- 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.
- Coach Adolph Rupp
Adolph Rupp, known as the
"Baron of the Bluegrass"
and "The Man in the Brown Suit,"
