John Calipari and John Wall have been awarded the Adolph Rupp Coach and Player of the Year awards today. This is the first time in the 38 year history of the award that the awards were given to a coach and a player from the same school. It is also the first time either award has been given to a coach or player from the University of Kentucky.
