Krzyzewski has been at Duke since the early 80s, and no one has even 1/3 the wins he has at that school.
Krzyzewski at Duke 760-215 (.780)
Rupp at UK 876-190 (.822)
Knight at IU 661–240
Smith at UNC 879-254
...ect
Sorry, I must have been unclear. No other DUKE coach has 1/3 the wins AT DUKE that Coach K has. Obviously, the great coaches from other programs have similar win totals.
Rupp sort of defined basketball at UK, and really still does.

So, as you can see, it is not one coach at the University of Kentucky. While Adoph Rupp might be considered a legend in college basketball, he does not define the program at Kentucky.
My point is that the others aren't "legends" in the same sense. Successful, certainly, but I think we need to be less loose about applying that "legend" status.
And I'm struggling mightily with your defined/didn't define logic. Rupp is so mighty that he defines UK basketball, yet Kentucky is so mighty that it cannot be defined. This can only occur at the center of the universe, or where everyone's drunk on bourbon.

They do tend to give boat loads to college basketball and football coaches. You wonder why tuition's are a bit high in most places? They also are non stop asking for donations from the alumni.
The basketball program at UK is self-sufficient, and pays for the athletic dept's other programs.

In is out, and dn sı uʍop.
Too, I should add, my brain is partitioned, and sometimes the various parts don't communicate with each other.
