Yesterday it was Adolph Rupp and Joe B. Hall at the University of Kentucky. Also, there was Ed Diddle at Western Kentucky with 11 appearances in the National Invitational Tournament. Keep in mind that in the 1940s, 1950s and early 1960s the NIT was more prestigious than today’s NCAA Tournament. Rick Pitino formerly at the Univ. of Louisville coached basketball for 22 seasons at Boston Univ., Providence, UK, N.Y. Knicks and the Boston Celtics. Moreover, he was an outstanding high school player at St. Dominic in Oyster Bay, New York. Rick received a scholarship to the Univ. of Massachusetts. This is the same school attended by Julius Erving (Dr. “J”) and Al Skinner former, Boston College Head Coach. Read Rick’s book written with Pat Forde entitled “Rebound Rules: The Art of Success 2.0”. Next, there is John Calipari at the Univ. of Kentucky. Calipari has a 76.1 winning percentage that includes stops at the Univ. of Massachusetts, Memphis and the New Jersey Nets. Calipari in 2019 signed a 10-year contract valued at $86 million with a bevy of perks. It is essentially a lifetime contract. In 1956 Corky Withrow from Central City scored 3,136 career points and was on the High School All-America Team with Kelly Coleman, Oscar Robertson and Jerry West. In 2016 the two-sport legend published his book: Uncorked! with Sherrill Williams and Charles Thurman. You can purchase a copy on Amazon. “King” Kelly Coleman passed away on June 16, 2019. He played college ball at Kentucky Wesleyan. As a freshman on the varsity in 1958 he scored 639 points for a 26.6 average per game that was 6th in the country. He set a national record for freshmen in varsity competition. In 1960 the “King” was drafted by the New York Knicks of the NBA. Why Kelly never played one minute in the NBA is a story for another day. With all due respect to the great players mentioned on these pages, including those who have make it to the NBA, not one can match what “King” Kelly Coleman accomplished on the high school hardwood.Kelly Coleman
The Mountain Sports Hall of Fame will be located in Wayland, KY. They are in the process of restoring the Wayland High School gym where “King” Kelly Coleman played.
