4. Joe B. Hall is a Favorite, Too.

He was a player and a coach for the Kentucky Wildcats. He coached some of the best players to come out of the program.

Joe B. Hall can be seen on the sidelines of home games at Rupp Arena and there is always a smile on his face. He loves the Kentucky Wildcats just as much now as he did in the beginning.

Fans love him, he’s an absolute joy. No matter how old you are, members of the Big Blue Nation know about and love Joe B. Hall.

His personality is soft and his demeanor is sweet, but it’s more than that that makes him loved by all of the Big Blue Nation. It’s rare that you see a player play for and coach for the same program. Joe B. Hall is one of the few men to have won a National Championship as both a player and a coach. He may not have played a lot as a player, but his tenure with the Kentucky Wildcats prepared him to be a successful coach. Something that was hard to do, since he was right after the best, Adolph Rupp.

Joe B. Hall will forever be a favorite among the Big Blue Nation.
