Graduated UK in 1969; played on Freshman team in '65-'66 (Rupp's Runts year); spent 29 years in the Air Force; now a PGA golf club pro. I chose this picture ("the shooter") as my avatar because that should be the first requirement as a college basketball player--the ability to put the ball in the hole. Without that, all the rest isn't worth much.
Real name is Bill Rutledge; married to the former Mary Lou Flack for just over 40 years. Two kids--a pediatrician and a nurse practicioner--neither one a cardiologist, darn it!-and five of the greatest grandkids in the world.
Now live in Williamsburg, VA, where the closest thing to real basketball is the William and Mary Tribe, and it's just not a good substitute.
a fan of
