He refused to let his Kentucky team play against black schools

Or against teams with black players. In 1966 his team went to the NCAA championship game against Texas Western, which had 5 black starters. Rupp didn't want the game to be played, which Texas Western eventually won.

But he wasn't the only person who was like that during those times; he was one of many.

David1Spirit, Yes, Wooden was quite a coac, I am sorry

I was not aware of Rupps problem, though it was in a time when that could have been true!

yes, HE is a great coach, or rather a counselor

All we have to do is listen.

BTW: I will give props to Wooden; but Rupp was quite a racist.
