I remember that team well. They were invited to the NCAA but Cliff Hagan, Frank Ramsey and Lou Tsoropolus, all graduate students, would not be able to play and the team would have to play in the tournament without them. The rest of the team voted to go with those three voting not to go and Rupp told them he was not going to let a bunch of turds ruin a perfect season and he declined the NCAA invitation to play in the tournament. I totally agreed with his decision too. The NCAA at that time had no rule against GRaduate students playing in their tournament, it was a one year rule meant to keep Kentucky, who was just coming off a years suspension in 1953 because of the 51 point shaving scandal. Hagan, Ramsey and Tsoropolus did get to play three varsity years as it was called in those days because Freshmen had to play on a freshman squad. Old timers will know that, only putting it in for some of our younger posters and readers.

I remember the story well, I think I read Cawood's tale about that team. Where Rupp said he wasn't going to take a bunch of turds into the tourney if he couldn't have his entire team!

And the NCAA only enacted that Graduate Student not eligible rule for Kentucky and it was for the one year only. That was one of the many Kentucky NCAA rules passed in the fifties and sixties to try to hold Coach Rupp back basketball wise. The very next season after Hagan etc could not play in the NCAA, they enacted NCAA rules which did allow graduate students to play if they had not used their three years of varsity ball. It cost us another National Championship. [ 01-24-2015, 06:23 PM: Message edited by: SCWC ]

Guys like Dean Smith won't have any wins erased because of improper academics though, will he?

I had to look it up but they went 13-23 from the 3 point line and ended up with 57 points between them. Un believable and Penn State beat us 73-68.

I'm not certain I see K retiring any day soon either! After watching some of these programs work anymore. The assistants do most of the manual work anymore. THe head coach is just the brains behind the operation!
