Until I was nine or ten, everyone called me Joe or Joe Hall. Then
one day, my grandmother, for reasons known only to her, pulled me
aside, telling me my name was "too short and too plain." She said,
"Let's add your middle initial to make it more interesting. From
now on, you say your name is Joe B., not just Joe. It's Joe B.
Hall." Joe B. Hall is one of only three men to both play on an NCAA
championship team (1949, Kentucky) and coach an NCAA championship
team (1978, Kentucky), and the only one to do so for the same
school. In this riveting memoir, Hall presents intimate details
about his remarkable life on and off the court. He reveals
never-before-heard stories about memorable players, coaches, and
friends and expresses the joys and fulfillments of his rewarding
life and career. During his thirteen years as head coach at the
University of Kentucky, from 1972 to 1985, Joe B. Hall led the team
to 297 victories. The most memorable of these is the 1978 NCAA
Men's Division Basketball Championship. This legendary coach
followed in the colossal footsteps of Adolph Rupp to chart his own
path to success and become one of college basketball's all-time
greats and winningest coaches.
