Line 5:
His modest upbringing led Lee to the knowledge that the best way out of poverty was education and hard work. Ultimately, he earned a baseball and basketball scholarship from Transylvania University where he graduated with a Bachelors degree and later earned a Masters degree from the University of Kentucky. After graduating from Transylvania he started coaching basketball there serving as an assistant for four seasons and then moving into the interim head coaching position for the 1964-65 season. Later he became an assistant coach at the University of Cincinnati. Three seasons later, Coach Rose returned to Transy as the head coach and athletic director. In those eight seasons as coach and AD, his record was 160-57 including five NCAA Division II tournament berths and one trip to the NAIA tournament.
Rose then became head coach at Purdue for two seasons finishing with a record of 50-18 where the Boilermakers played in both the NIT Finals in ’79 and then advanced to the NCAA Final Four in the next season. Only 11 other coaches have lead two different universities to the Final Four other than Coach Rose. He was named Big Ten Coach of the Year for the 1979-80 season. Following Purdue he then guided the University of South Florida to three NIT appearances in the next six years.
