ADOLPH RUPP OF KENTUCKY
"The Baron of Basketball"
National Coach of the Year for 1966 and the nation's winningest basketball coach for nearly four decades and one of the most colorful figures in the game today . . . That's Baron Adolph Rupp, who this season aims at producing a winner at University of Kentucky for the 38th year.
Able to boast of a nation-leading career percentage of 83 percent success in his chosen profession, Coach Rupp has guided the Wildcats since 1930and never had a losing season.
Few major goals of the coaching profession have escaped the grasp of this 66-year-old veteran, feared and respected by opponents and beloved by millions of fans to whom he is known familiarly as "The Man In The Brown Suit." The appellation was tagged on Rupp years ago in tribute to his superstitious preference of brown as the color of his game-night wardrobe.
In his own backyard (the Southeastern Conference) Rupp is generally regarded as the prime benefactor of Dixie basketballhaving goaded loop schools into providing better places to play, recruiting better boys and giving more emphasis to the sport. Hiss success in raising the stature of southern cage play has "come back to haunt" Rupp in the form of stiffer competition both on the court and recruiting battleground.
But Coach Rupp professes no regrets and his achievements serve as a buffer that is not likely to be broken down for many a year to come. Those achievements make a list too long to recount entirely.  However, a few of the man's major accomplishments include: 765 victories in 930 starts during 37 years at Kentucky.
Membership in the ultra-exclusive "700 Club" (700 career victories) achieved at the earliest stage of any coach.
An unprecedented four NCAA titles captured during a record 15 tournament appearances.
A record 22 conference championships in 34 years of SEC existence.
Top world honors as he helped guide the USA entry to success in the 1948 Olympics.
National "Coach of the Year" four times and overwhelming choice again in 1 966 for top SEC coaching honors.
Producer of more All-Americans (24 players honored 34 times), more Olympic goald medallion winners (7) and more
material for the pro ranks (25 players) than any other coach. Membership on the national basketball rules committee.
Coach of champions in the first International Universities Tournament last summer. -Honored as "Coach of the Century" in 1967 by Columbus (Ohio) Touchdown Club.
