...stud farm, but he was still a third cousin of Canada's George Royal and a second cousin once removed of the U.S.'s Assagai-who could hardly have been more capitalistic, since he is owned by Charles Engelhard, the "Platinum King," and grew up in the Bluegrass of Kentucky. Assagai, for his part, shared an illustrious ancestor (Man o' War) with France's Behistoun and Silver Shark. Silver Shark, in turn, was related to Britain's David Jack, and the U.S.'s Tom Rolfe...

...ever accused Adolph Rupp of being a nice guy. Rival coaches grumble that "life doesn't really hang on the result of a basketball game, but it seems like it when you play Rupp." In his 36 years at the University of Kentucky, "the Baron of the Bluegrass" has won more games (734), more conference titles (21) and more N.C.A.A. championships (four) than any other coach in the U.S. He has also antagonized more competitors, angered more referees, and annoyed more sportswriters than anybody else in the business-which may or may not account for his success.
