Ever since you were old enough to drink water after 6 p.m., you’ve probably understood that Adolph Rupp ranked right up there with Colonel Sanders, Man o’ War, Mammoth Cave and other great Kentucky inventions. You’ve known it and believed it, another legend to help you through those desultory days when you needed a push every 15 minutes to get your brain kick-started. Irascible, cantankerous, lovable, immovable ol’ Adolph.
