As good of coaches that Bob "The General" Knight and Dean Smith were, I feel that Adolph Rupp was the best college basketball coach of all time. The son of German immigrant farmers (in Kansas), Rupp played at KU under the legendary Phog Allen. Rupp's 876 wins rank 3rd of all time & 82.2% winning percentage ranks 2nd all time. The "Baron of Bluegrass" coached 42 years at Kentucky, leading the Wildcats to 4 national titles, 27 SEC titles, won 13 SEC tourneys & 20 NCAA tourneys. Most all of Rupp's teams were made up of White athletes (only).
