Was Forced To Step Aside in 1972,
Joe B. Hall Made It Clear That
He Wanted To Be The Man
Who Would Walk In The Legend's Footsteps
To Preserve The Traditions

Did He Ever Preserve The Traditions, And More!

On September 18, 2012, Coach John Calipari,
and a small group of fans and supporters
honored Joe B. Hall with the unveiling of a bronze statue of
Joe B. Hall as most fans of the Era will remember him best,
on the end of the bench, leaning forward in anticipation,
with his rolled up game program in his hand.

Coach Hall, at the ceremony said:

No one has a speech for an unveiling of a statue of them

I'll be here every day if anybody didn't get their picture

A spectacular award that I don't have words for,
I appreciate so much Joe Craft and his influence in this and
John for carrying it out.

The achievements that I had at Kentucky were guaranteed by the tradition,
the legacy that Coach Rupp left
