The story of Kelly Coleman, who played basketball at Wayland High School in eastern Kentucky from 1952-56, scoring 4,337 points during his high school career. Kelly was the all-time scoring leading for boy's high school basketball until 2023, a record that stood for over six decades. The son of a coal miner, Kelly was described as "the greatest high school player who ever lived" by Coach Adolph Rupp and "one of the most exciting players in Kentucky's history" by Coach Joe B. Hall. Kelly went on to have a remarkable career at Kentucky Wesleyan College and later played professional ball in the NBA. Originally published in 2005, this new expanded edition provides an intimate look at Kelly's later years up through his death in Hazard, Kentucky, on June 16, 2019. The book is about more than just Kelly the high school basketball legend (that's included for sure), but also a look at Kelly the man, the husband and father, presenting not only his successes on the court but also his trials and failures off the court.
