Basketball lost a true legend this week with the passing of Joe Dean Jr. at 71 — a coach, broadcaster, and athletic director whose decades-long impact spanned Mississippi State, Kentucky, UCF, and Birmingham-Southern. He helped lead Kentucky to a 1978 championship, shaped UCF’s rise in the NCAA, and later brought his passion for the game into broadcast booths and AD roles. A memorial will be held August 24th in Birmingham — honoring a man who left an indelible mark on the sport he loved.
