A racist and a douche bag was Rupp. Won a lot of basketball games. Big deal. Still a thoroughly lousy human being and a racist.

Heil, Rupp.

What's interesting is that I think Halstead High School's gymnasium is also named after Rupp. I've played there : )

@Crimmyboy actually, who personally knows if he was racist or not, Glory road is a dumb disney movie, many of his former players were angry that the movie portrayed him as that. But you seem to forget that he gave offers to several black athletes, but the SEC was hardly a non-racist conference. There were no black players in the south. And when he coached the olympic team he selected the first black player to it. You forget that TexasWest. was the first all black lineup, meaning THE ONLY one.

Though I am 21 years old, I love Coach Rupp.

@Crimmyboy have some respect man, you wouldnt of evenknown he was a racist if glory road hadnt of ever been made. he was a old school coach set in his ways. still he was the winingest coach of his time, won 4 national titles, one of the first coaches to utilize the fast break and made uk basketball.



Also Dean Smith didn't have a black guy playing until 1970 something. I don't hear the media giving him crap.
