An all time UK great. Versatile and lethal from inside and out. Much like Cotton Nash, capable at all phases of the game.

would have loved to have seen Nash play what years did he play for UK? I was fortunate to see Cotton play every game in Memorial Coliseum. Some all time greats played on that floor. He played varsity ball in 1961-62, 63 and 64. Freshmen could not play varsity in those days.
Cotton's son coached my granddaughter in basketball and she became very close friends with Cotton's granddaughter who was on the team too. They both attend the U.S. Air Force Academy.
Cotton was one of the smoothest player I saw play at UK and was an all around athlete who excelled in every sport. In high school he was an All State football player in Lake Charles, LA. He was recruited to play basketball by every basketball powerhouse in college including John Wooden's UCLA. He was an outstanding baseball player and played in the majors. He was a track and field state champion. He was intelligent and an honor student.
RIP Cotton Nash and thank you for the memories.
