grappler-of-old 44 Report post Posted February 3, 2017 Being the nerd that I am with statistics and such. I came across something that amazes me. I was looking up when each state had their 1st state tourney. When I got to Iowa the 1st thing that stood out was that their first state tourney was in 1921. While looking through it I saw an amazing name from Ky history. In 1926 Marshaltown won the state title. The head coach of this team was Adolph Rupp. When I looked up Rupp's bio it confirmed it was the same Adolph Rupp that won NCAA titles for UK. He took the job not knowing anything about wresting, learned from a book and won a state title. He then went on to start coaching basketball at another school. This has totally blown my mind. Did anyone else know about this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
