Wallace Jones
Wallace “Wah Wah” Jones still draws a crowd, even at age 84. Entertaining a large group of well-wishers recently, during a surprise birthday party, Jones was amazed by the turnout. Among the guests, former UK coach Joe B. Hall, himself a spry 81. “He’s one of the best that’s ever been to the University of Kentucky,” Hall said. That’s because Jones was a two-sport All-American, a man that played for two legendary coaches. Under Adolph Rupp, Jones was a member of the Fabulous Five. His teams won two national championships and an NIT.
