The BBN Salutes Joe B. Hall

It’s a somber around the Big Blue Nation as Kentucky fans mourn the passing of Joe B. Hall.

Whether watching the Wildcats at Rupp or cutting up with his former rival on the radio, the National Championship winning head coach was never far from his Old Kentucky Home. Even though there is sadness in his death, memories of his life are enriching. It’s impossible not to smile when you see a young Freddie Maggard at Coach Hall’s basketball camp.

Freddie is one of the hundreds of thousands of Wildcat faithful that took to social media to share their memories of the Coach that kept Rupp’s legacy alive and ensured that Kentucky great’s basketball tradition would not end with Adolph Rupp.
