Publisher's Synopsis
"The man in the brown suit" sounds like the title for a good mystery thriller, and might well have been, if it were not for Adolph F. Rupp, the University of Kentucky affable wizard of hardwood magic!
As colorful as he was successful, at the time of his retirement, he was the winning-est coach of all time. He was known in the sports' world as "the man in the brown suit," "Mr. Basketball," "The Baron," "Colonel," and "O" Rupp and Ready." None, however, adequately describes the human interest of the man, who accomplished as much, or more, than any other to make the cage game a national spectator sport.
Author Donald R. Curtis once again works his magic to bring together Coach Rupp's legacy and his wit. Those times, caught during interviews with sports figures, on the practice floor, time-outs, locker room chats, and his unbridled comments in general, are all locked into one volume, showing Coach Rupp's wit and character, as well as his legacy of turning his teams on the axle of a fantastic powerhouse, as he consistently won nationwide fame in intercollegiate competition.
I invite you to purchase a copy today, sit back, grab a cup of your favorite beverage and enjoy a wonderful book of the storied man who had no peers!
