Since the tenure of Coach Adolph Rupp, the University of
Kentucky Wildcats men's basketball team has been a virtual
powerhouse, repeatedly dominating the Southeastern Conference and
garnering eight national titles. UK basketball is a homegrown
tradition for sports enthusiasts, fostering a community that
thrives on the camaraderie of fandom and devotedly cheers for its
players in both victory and defeat. The individuals who have
coached, played for, and inspired the Wildcats are important
figures in Kentucky history and continue to motivate future
athletes and passionate fans.
Wildcat Memories illuminates the intimate connection between the
UK basketball program and the commonwealth. Author Doug Brunk
brings together some of the program's greatest coaches, players,
and personalities to reflect on Kentuckians who provided
inspiration, guidance, and moral support during their tenure as
Wildcats. Featuring personal essays and behind-the-scenes stories
from Kentucky legends Wallace "Wah Wah" Jones, Dan Issel, Joe B.
Hall, Kyle Macy, and Tubby Smith, as well as newcomers Patrick
Patterson, Darius Miller, and John Wall, this heartfelt collection
shares an inside look at what makes UK basketball
extraordinary.
More than a book of inspiring stories, Wildcat Memories is a fun
romp through UK basketball history. In candid firsthand accounts,
the players and coaches discuss their incredible Kentucky support
systems and offer a glimpse into the rarely seen personal side of
life as a Wildcat.
