Adolph Rupp Cup

The Adolph Rupp Cup was an award given annually since 2004 to the men's college basketball head coach in NCAA Division I competition "who best exemplifies excellence in his dedication to the game of basketball and to his student athletes."[1] The award is named for former University of Kentucky head coach Adolph Rupp, who compiled an overall record of 876–190 with four recognized national championships and one NIT championship.[1][2] Rupp coached Kentucky between 1930 and 1972, and his winning percentage of 82.2% is still the NCAA record.[1][2]
