Sean Woods is a member of the University of Kentucky Athletics Hall of Fame, and is one of four players who are known as the Unforgettables. Woods, John Pelphrey, Richie Farmer and Deron Feldhaus were at Kentucky in the late 1980s when there was a coaching change and a probation period, but they all decided to stay at UK for their entire college careers. They eventually led the team to an NCAA regional final in 1992, the first year that Kentucky was allowed to compete in the NCAA tournament following probation. Woods is still UK’s all-time leader in assists per game at 5.3. He has been a head coach in college at Morehead State, Mississippi Valley State and Southern University for a total of 14 seasons. He played in high school at Indianapolis Cathedral, and was named to the Indiana All-Star team for the games against the Kentucky All-Stars in 1988. In addition to the Unforgettables and their decisions to stay at UK, we talked about his coaching career, and Indiana high school basketball in general, including his start in basketball in East Chicago before he moved to Indianapolis.
