Who is your all-time favorite assistant coach ?

[Uncle Adolph]

1 Tubby Smith
2 Billy Donovan (I know he turned down the head job a couple of times but I'm talking assistant right now)
3 The assistant of Joe B Hall who had to be restrained from going after Bobby Knight but I can;t remember his name Jim Hatfield maybe ?
4 I am going to put Chin Coleman here after watching the video of him shedding tears on the bench the other day
5 Tony Barbee (just kidding, just kidding don't kill me on here)

I don't know that he's my favorite, but there was a certain cool factor seeing Rod Strickland standing next to John Wall in the timeout huddle that first year.

 

[Uncle Adolph]

Frank Vogel who wrnt on to coach in the NBA although he may have just been a MGR ?

For you really old-timers Harry Lancaster was Rupp"s only assistant for many years back when they only had one

I stood in line behind Tony Delk at Penn Station Subs in 2010 when he was assistant coaching for Cal. I didn’t wanna give him pointers on his shot or anything but I said “wussup TO-ny” and we both grinned because by 2010 no one else in that shop knew who Tony Delk was. That and a title makes him tops for me.

 

[CastleRubric]

Leonard Hamilton

 

[Zissou87]

Kenny Payne:
-great recruiter
-nice guy
-necessary good cop on the bench
-helped develop bigs
-has been instrumental in making UL basketball even more irrelevant

 

[WildcatfaninOhio]

Harry Lancaster

 

[Uncle Adolph]

Bernadette Locke-Mattox

Is she still in coaching ?

 

[NothinButNylon]

Had to look it up, but looks like she stopped coaching in the WNBA in 2012 and now resides in Lexington.

I stood in line behind Tony Delk at Penn Station Subs in 2010 when he was assistant coaching for Cal. I didn’t wanna give him pointers on his shot or anything but I said “wussup TO-ny” and we both grinned because by 2009 no one else in that shop knew who Tony Delk was. That and a title makes him tops for me.

I knew Tony's father, great family from humble origins. Tony is as good a person as you will ever meet

 

[502 Wildcat]

Jeremy Cox.

The inside information available to us fans was legendary.

 

[UKAlum88]

Kenny Payne, simply because he’s purposely destro….. I mean he was a wonderful assistant! 😬

 

[bthaunert]

It's amazing looking at how many head coaches came out of that 1992 team:

Herb Sendek
Billy Donovan
Bernadette Locke-Mattox
Sean Woods
John Pelphrey
Travis Ford
Dale Brown

 

[ArtLaibsGhost]

What ever else Rick is , he knew player talent and coaching talent
