ADOLPH RUPP
The University of Kentucky's chief of basketball, Adolph Rupp, has won so many honors, titles and nicknames and proven to successful during his 23-year regime at the helm of the cage Wildcats that you could very appropriately sum him up as "Mr. Basketball."
The colorful and affable wizard of hardwood magic, who stands alone today as the nation's win-ningest basketball coach, is credited in most quarters with doing more than any other modern tutor to make basketball a national spectator sport. From the very outset of his career at Kentucky, which began in 1930, Coach Rupp has introduced or popularized new and revised trends in the game that have aided materially in making the country basketball minded. One such innovation was the controlled fast-break offensive pattern which has since been a crowd-pleasing trademark of Wildcat cage teams.
With his 23rd season at the Blue Grass school behind him, Coach Rupp can look back over an approximately two-decade regime of unparalleled success that has made Kentucky a consistent national power and earned him recognition as the nation's most winning cage mentor.
HARRY LANCASTER
Baron Rupp's capable right hand man is Harry Lancaster. As Kentucky's first full-time assistant cage coach, he bosses a promising squad of first year performers and handles the gruelling assignment of scouting the Wildcats' future opponents. Lancaster, who came to U.K. in 1942 as an instructor in physical education, spent the summer of 1951 in Greece as a representative of the U. S. State Department. His duties consisted primarily of advising Greek Basketball Federation officials and coaches, lecturing and conducting coaching clinics.
