Rupp Ends 42-Year Kentucky Coaching Era
Adolph Rupp, the longtime Kentucky basketball leader, plans retirement at the end of the season with a possible move into politics. UK President Otis Singletary announced the retirement, noting an eight-year-old rule mandating retirement at age 71, while Rupp kept open the option of appealing the decision. He reflected that he would not go out on a discordant note and hinted he would pursue a congressional bid if not retained as coach. Rupp, known as the “man in the brown suit,” led Kentucky to 79 wins in 42 years and remains the winningest college coach in history. A five-man committee will consider successors, with no immediate decision on who will coach next season.
