Interview with Bill Keightley, (Week 12)

Kygoff
WT Administrator

We're over half way through the William B. Keightley Oral History Project, and this weeks interview is short, but a very good one.

Keightley discusses the 1978 national championship team and the effect of being the top-ranked team that season on the work ethic of the coaches and players who referred to that year as "The Season of No Celebration". He recalls winning the semifinal game and returning to Lexington, describes fan reaction to the National Championship win, and similar scenes in 1996 and 1998. Keightley also discusses the high expectations of success from basketball fans and the UK administration.
