Peyton & Adolph: your off-season basketball fix

He appeared on WHAS-TV's "Great Day Live" and on WHAS Radio and other Clear Channel stations. And to complete this basketball two-fer: WHAS broadcast legend Cawood Ledford (1926-2001), known for decades as The Voice of the Kentucky Wildcats, compiled this terrific profile of basketball coaching legend Adolph Rupp.
