Bill Keightley (Seated between Blly G and Joe B Hall) the longtime equipment manager for University of Kentucky basketball teams, died Monday. The man affectionately known as “Mr. Wildcat” was 81. He had just completed his 48th season in service of Kentucky’s program. He served under six coaches (Adolph Rupp, Joe B. Hall, Eddie Sutton, Rick Pitino, Tubby Smith and Gillispie). UK said Keightley played a part in 57 percent of all Kentucky basketball games. For me, it will be odd not seeing him on UK's bench. I have never watched a UK basketball game without him being there.

That's too bad. I hope he wrote a book.
