Joe B. Hall deserves praise

Former University of Kentucky basketball coach Joe B. Hall was the Y as the cheerleaders spelled Kentucky during a game in Rupp Arena.

This is in response to a letter from one whose name does not ring a bell relative to those who have achieved great success in the annals of sports. I sincerely doubt that the writer in his career followed a legend and then left his position of employment in a better place than when he found it. Former University of Kentucky basketball coach Joe B. Hall has probably accomplished more in one lifetime than the writer would in 10 lifetimes. I know Joe B. Hall; he is a friend of mine. The writer is no Joe B. Hall.
