If all those retired jerseys hanging from the rafters of Rupp Arena could talk, they would surely be sharing many of the stories and anecdotes in Tales from the Kentucky Hardwood.

Laughter would echo through the huge hall, and an occasional tear would fall onto the court below. Longtime Wildcats fans will read this book with a knowing smile as their heroes become more human than ever before.

Author Denny Trease shines his spotlight on five distinct eras covering mroe than seventy years of Kentucky Basketball.

Adolph Rupp was one of the most colorful characters ever to patrol the sidelines, and his complex personality comes into clearer focus with every page turned. You will feel the sting of Rupp's sarcastic wit during practice sessions and close games, and you'll also see the Baron's tender side as he helps one of his players deal with the loss of a loved one.

You'll accompany Rupp and his assistant, Joe B. Hall on a road trip with an ending so bizarre you won't believe it.

When Hall inherits the pressurized post as keeper of Kentucky's great roundball tradition, you have a locker room seat for his unforgettable pregame speech just before the Cats beat Duke for the national championship.

Rick Pitino and Tubby Smith each added another national title and a lot more stories like the rare combination of pain and pride produced by the loss of Duke in "The game of the Century".
