Product Information
Known as the "Man in the Brown Suit" and the "Baron of the Bluegrass," Adolph Rupp (1901-1977) is a towering figure in the history of college athletics. In Adolph Rupp and the Rise of Kentucky Basketball , historian James Duane Bolin goes beyond the wins and losses to present the fullest account of Rupp's life to date based on more than one-hundred interviews with Rupp, his assistant coaches, former players, University of Kentucky presidents and faculty members, and his admirers and critics, as well as court transcripts, newspaper accounts, and other archival materials. His teams won four NCAA championships (1948, 1949, 1951, and 1958), the 1946 National Invitation Tournament title, and twenty-seven Southeastern Conference regular season titles. Rupp's influence on the game of college basketball and his impact on Kentucky culture are both much broader than his impressive record on the court. Bolin covers Rupp's early years--from his rural upbringing in a German Mennonite family in Halstead, Kansas, through his undergraduate years at the University of Kansas playing on teams coached by Phog Allen and taking classes with James Naismith, the inventor of basketball--to his success at Kentucky. This revealing portrait of a pivotal figure in American sports also exposes how college basketball changed, for better or worse, in the twentieth century.

Reviews
This detailed and richly researched biography is written in a clear and engaging manner that reflects the work of a historian at the top of his game. Bolin is definitely fully engaged with Adolph Rupp's multi-faceted life and has demonstrated his mastery of his wide-ranging sources. An excellent book!, Legions of Big Blue Nation followers may deify Rupp as the man who created a basketball dynasty, but the author shows Rupp to be different things to different people: a loving father, a devoted husband, a loyal friend, a benevolent boss to his secretary and farm manager, a boss suspicious of his assistant coaches, a martinet in khakis to his players, and a racial conundrum. This book chronicles his success while, at times, it strips the Rupp legend down to the studs. It is a "warts and all" examination of a very complex, self-centered, but highly successful basketball coach and businessman., Rupp is meticulously researched... It would be hard to digest this manuscript without developing an enthusiasm for the monumental contributions of Rupp to intercollegiate athletics on multiple levels. At the same time, Bolin was careful to present an accurate portrait of Rupp, blemishes and all, an individual who was a product of the times in which he lived and worked.... Many readers - especially in this part of the country - will want to add it to their bookshelves.

In this extremely well-written and researched biography, Bolin has scoured newspaper articles, oral histories, and secondary sources to present Rupp's story, literally from cradle to grave. This book will be the standard and enduring biography of Rupp for years to come., An interesting read for all college basketball fans, and UK fans in particular. It is literally everything you could want to know about Kentucky basketball from before Rupp arrived on campus thru his forced retirement due to the state-mandated retirement age at 70., In Adolph Rupp and the Rise of Kentucky Basketball , James Duane Bolin examines one of the country's storied college programs during a tumultuous time in our nation's history., Rupp is meticulously researched...
