He just kills me. Lol he’s so animated it’s like watching myself during a game.
Gene Keady

He’s channeling his inner Ray Ganong.
That black tar combover was legendary. He also won the head to head with Knight 22-20.
The NCAA tournament is set up the way it is now with neutral sites and no home court hosts anymore because of Keady. Keady lost to Syracuse @ Syracuse, Memphis @ Memphis, and LSU @ LSU 3 out of 5 years. Mean Gene just had the worst luck in the tournament.

I know Keady was at Western for 3 seasons. I’ve always thought that Izzo was with Jud Cheapcoat at Michigan State. Crean may have been there, he married a Harbaugh, which her father was football coach for WKU.
Crean was at Western under Ralph Willard and Izzo was a Jud protégé.
Back to Keady...….. look up the term "pained expression." It will have Keady's image.
Wow Western really had some good coaches in their past. Who was their coach when the 7 foot Jim McDaniels led them to the Final Four?
Johnny Oldham, a former assistant to Ed Diddle. WKU was once a power. Up until about the mid 80's they were 3rd in total number of wins. They were the main reason Rupp refused to play instate teams.
And they got screwed by a call against Villanova in 71’.
Well unfortunately they would have to vacate anyway because Mac had signed with an agent prior to completing his amateur standing.
And I was there in the Astrodome.
Seems like just the other day.........
Nova and Kansas had to vacate too for the same reason IIRC.
I know Nova did because Howard Porter had an agent and I think Dave Robisch from Kansas did too.
WKU beat KU in the then played consolation game.
I remember paying $16 for tickets to both sessions and didn’t know how i was going to get that much money on short notice.
And they got screwed by a call in 1966 against Michigan Sweet 16 on a jump ball. That team would have given Rupp's Runts fits. 1967 was another great year until Clem broke his wrist. Showing my age lol.
