How many coaches has UK had during your fandom?

Born in 1959, so I came in late in Rupp's coaching regime. So, the answer is 8.
 
I was alive during Rupp's last years but knew nothing about college basketball yet, so for me Pope makes seven.

Surprisingly, this new guy makes seven for U of L in that time. I would have guessed like 10
7. Best time was 96-98, getting my doctorate at UK and loving those teams. I used to bag Sutton’s groceries at, was it Randall’s groceries? He liked orange Fago. Moved to Lexington at about ten years old and largely became a fan because of an uncle and of course living in and around Lex for 18 years.
 
Began with Coach Rupp when Cotton Nash was playing until today when we put the band back together
 
I was 20 years old when the Runts lost to Texas Western, it like to have killed me, took days to get over it. I remember the 1958 championship. Adrian Smith was on that team, he was from Farmington, a small school in Graves Co., not far from where I lived. I started playing Jr High ball in 1959. So I remember 8 different Coaches.

5 for me.

Fans my age were spoiled by having the mid and late nineties as their formative Kentucky basketball years.
