... in 1986, your University of Kentucky Wildcat friends, former players, and UK officials gave a retirement send-off to Joe B. Hall after 13 seasons as the UK head coach. Joe B. compiled a record of 297-100 while manning the sidelines for the Wildcats. Add to that 3 Final Fours and the 1978 National Championship and you have yourself one heckuva coaching career. Hall also played on the 1947-48 Kentucky National Championship team coached coached by Adolph Rupp. Known as one of nation's top recruiters, Joe B. landed the names Dan Issel, Jim Andrews, and Tom Payne (Kentucky's first black player) in Wildcat blue. He currently has a radio show with former UofL coach Denny Crum, its called the "Joe B. & Denny Show". Hall is listed first because Kentucky is better than Louisville.
