June 6th: On this date...

OOOOOOOOOOOOO K.

... in 1989, new Kentucky coach Rick Pitino hired his first assistant, one Herb Sendek from Providence. Sendek, 26, was first hired by Rick at Providence as a graduate assistant. The team and coaches would later become one of the most beloved team's in UK history. (I dare you to take a look at that team picture and not smile.) After Sendek left Kentucky, he would go on to coach Miami (OH), N.C. State, and Arizona State. Not a bad resume if you ask me, as he's been successful everywhere he has gone.
