Being the nerd that I am with statistics and such. I came across something that amazes me.
I was looking up when each state had their 1st state tourney.
When I got to Iowa the 1st thing that stood out was that their first state tourney was in 1921.
While looking through it I saw an amazing name from Ky history.
In 1926 Marshaltown won the state title. The head coach of this team was Adolph Rupp.
When I looked up Rupp's bio it confirmed it was the same Adolph Rupp that won NCAA titles for UK.
He took the job not knowing anything about wresting, learned from a book and won a state title. He then went on to start coaching basketball at another school.
This has totally blown my mind. Did anyone else know about this?
