Agree.He's freaking 89. Most that age wouldn't have been able to get to the arena, let alone do an interview. Geez.
He’s 89. I agree that he’s not as mentally there as he was even 2 years ago.He seems very very ill. I know he's old but his mind and body seems like....he's seriously out of it.

He’ll probably be gone by this time next year.
Nothing wrong with dying at age 90 with the life he’s had. I’m 52, I’m hoping o make it to 70.

/thread89 years old..... come on.
I'm 33 I hope to make it to 40.
Mentally he was there, physically he has taken a step down or two more than usual. It's the first time I've really felt the gravity of his age before.
I remember working out before class in high school around 2010-2011. Immanuel Baptist on Tates Creek was only $5 a month then for their gym. He was there working out, 5:30 A.M., mostly just soaking it all in talking to people. He was in amazing shape then for his age. Not lifting a ton, but actively working out a little and talking.
He's a completely different man now. I know that was 7-8 years ago, but I can't even compare the two images. In a way, 82 and 89 are not all that different. But I can see the difference. The age difference feels more like 20 years than 7. Time eventually catches up I suppose. I wish him the best and I hope he's loving life.
I say you have no worries, don't think so negative. You will definitely make it over 70.
I just turned 81 and I want to live to be at least 85. Think positive.
When the time comes for you or me and we are called, neither one of us can say NO.
As for now, eat drink and be happy.
Wait, wait . . . all of you youngsters ! "Age 50" is the new "age 70", and . . . by logical extension . . . "age 70" is the new "age 90". Therefore, as one who just turned 72 three days ago, I say . . . Coach Hall is not exactly "a pup", at age 89, but . . . let's not write him off just yet.
I am not a particular fan of Joe B., but he was and is the consummate gentleman. He held the program together in the wake of Rupp's retirement, and won one NCAA championship along the way. He was (IMHO) no more than a mediocre basketball coach, but, nevertheless, he is entitled to the eternal gratitude of BBN for his contributions to the program !
Just MHO, of course.
Go 'Cats !

Have been fishing with him and also spent a few days around him with just a few of us.I got to spend several hours with him 9 years ago, rode in a car with him from his apartment to Louisville and back, ate at Rafferty’s.
He was sharp as a tack at that time and full of great stories.

I'd rather be 80 year old me than 20 year old you.
Cool
So weird of a thing to say to you. I enjoy your posts.Cool
Lol....killshot F2M.
BigKari is right. I’m done droppin bars on rafters. With no context it reads like an asshole and No one gets it.

Joe B is a class act. Anybody who says anything negative is just a dickhead.
Amen. I won’t suffer an unkind word about Joe B to be uttered in my presence.Joe B. is a Kentucky treasure, just like Cawood and Mr. Bill were.
Joe learned from the best and has passed it on to Cal for the last 10 years. Cal loves having Joe around and so do the ball players. He’s been a great ambassador for UK over the years. He also coached one of the most talented teams we will ever have at UK. I think most of us that are over 60 remember Joe as a great coach.
But but he recruited them so maybe not so much.I just don’t see a coach with 3 final fours and a national title as “mediocre”. If Cal stopped right now he has a great legacy. Maybe not a billy goat, but still one of the best of an era.
1975 was a sham. You can almost give that one to him too.
