Former Kentucky coach and John Calipari mentor Joe B. Hall was inducted into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame on Sunday night.
Hall was one of several inductees welcomed into the Hall of Fame on Sunday in Kansas City, Mo. Joining him was Patrick Ewing, Earl “The Pearl” Monroe, Phil Ford, Clyde Lovellette, Kenny Sailors, Willis Reed, Dave Robbins, and contributors Jim Host and Joe Dean Sr.
Hall has served as a mentor and friend to Coach Cal since Calipari took the job in 2009. Calipari has embraced Hall’s place in Kentucky lore and reminded UK fans the job Hall did in the overwhelming shadow of another Hall of Famer, Adolph Rupp.
