Bill Keightley is Kentucky Basketball!! He has been around through the ups and downs of this program, and never once strayed from what he loved. He could tell stories that no one else could hold a candle to about college basketball. He has been apart of the most storied basketball program for years, and there is no one involved with UK basketball that will ever be more special than Bill Keightley. He had a special bond with every coach that come through UK, and they all treated him with the respect that he deserved. I for one will never forget what he meant to this program, and all the lives he impacted in his career. When you think of Kentucky basketball you have to think of Bill Keightley. He will forever be missed by all Wildcat fans and every person involved with college basketball. No matter who comes in to do his job they will never replace a legend like Keightley, and there will forever be an empty seat at the end of a lonely bench. This is truly a part of Kentucky basketball that can never be replaced.
