On this day ninety years ago (November 30, 1927), Joe B Hall was born and became one of the most iconic figures in all of UK basketball history! I hope they do something special for him if they haven't already. I don't know if they'd ever seriously consider this but I wouldn't mind one bit if Rupp Arena was renamed Rupp Hall in his honor :)

Fun Fact: He is the only men's D1 basketball coach to win a championship both as player (1949) and coach (1978) and doing so for the same school (UK) both times.
