A in that first season their freight packages would be thrown onto the court by posing fans a graphic reminder that Kentucky was n major probation. A monopoly Money phony Money a John Pelphrey called. You had to have a sense of humor about  the taunts Hurt everybody at Kentucky especially Pel Hrey Richie Farmer and Daren Feldhaus three fresh Len from Rural Kentucky who had been persuaded to a me to the school to play or sit on the Bench but not to e ridiculed. That was three seasons ago and Kentucky is n its Way Back from disgrace now. Allowed into the National tournament for the first me in four years the wildcats have advanced to the regional a by outrunning and outrunning Iowa state 06-98, on sunday. By winning the wildcats extended the 39-year broadcasting career of Cawood Ledford for at least anther game. All Over the Commonwealth of Kentucky be tends to slow Down considerably while the wildcats re playing and Ledford is Barking into the Mike. A there Are two kinds of fans a says Rick Pitino the jew yorker who is still bemused at the frenzy for the port he coaches. A there Are fans like kicks fans who ave other interests maybe the theater maybe books restaurants. And there Are rangers and Providence ans who care about nothing else. Of sure god and Amily and that kind of  what kind of fans Are Kentucky fans Pitino smiled and said a like rangers and Providence  the Call of the wildcats is so great that All state Puy is Are pressured into enrolling at Kentucky even if Kentucky a John Pelphrey was ridiculed As a freshman on probation but is playing in the Sweet 16 As a senior. They have no realistic Chance of playing. They become the Kentucky version of the Vestal virgins of More primitive societies raised to be sacrificed or the communal Good. With eyes wide open and filled with realistic Zeal Farmer Pelphrey and Feldhaus came to Kentucky just in time to play on the worst Kentucky team in the modern Era 13 victories 19 losses. The school was already banned from Post season play because of recruiting violations the most publicized of which was an air freight envelope that had apparently come apart in an Airport with Bills fluttering out presumably sent by a Kentucky assistant to the father of a recruit. These three freshmen had no sense of humor about losing but something Good came out of it for these three Kentucky boys after Eddie Sutton left. In Sutton a place came Rick Pitino a Man known As a the a Nicks coach a entrusted with rebuilding Kentucky. A these three kids had been led to believe they could not play at Kentucky a Pitino recalled. A their self esteem was As Low As in be Ever seen. A when i said we were going to press for 94 feet they did no to think they could do it. That Wasny to their style. To be honest if it Hadnot been Kentucky 1 done to think they would have stayed. But they did no to want to be part of the memory of the Scarlet p on their Chest you know probation. The bad thing was these kids were not responsible for it. They did no to get a cup of Coffee out of  these three Kentucky boys do not concede they would not have been regulars at Kentucky but they admit they got More of a Chance when the Blue Chip recruits began scattering. The three Kentucky boys worked with Rock Oliver the strength coach. They ran the track. They took the places on the court that out of state players would have held. They valued those places because they had grown up listening to tales of Groza and Beard Adolph Rupp and Joe b. Hall. Pitino used the blood loyalty of the Kentucky boys As the mortar of his new program bringing in Talent like Jamal Mashburn from new York. His teams were 14-14 and 22-6 in the last two years of probation. This year the wildcats Are 28-6, and running. On sunday the three kentuckians had 45 of the wildcats Points. Earlier in the week Pelphrey was asked Why be turned Down offers from other schools. He replied a where else is there to play a in Kentucky they mean it. The York Tom a
