In the fall of 1952, a point shaving scandal involving three Kentucky players (a fourth player, Bill Spivey, a teammate of Hagan's on the 1951 National Championship team, was alleged to have been involved in the scandal but denied the charge) over a four-year period forced Kentucky to forfeit its upcoming season, the senior year of Hagan, Frank Ramsey and Lou Tsioropoulos. The suspension of the season made Kentucky's basketball team, in effect, the first college sports team to get the "death penalty," which actually was nothing more than the NCAA asking members schools not to schedule Kentucky, and not mandating it.
As of 2006, the stadium's future is now uncertain. In the wake of the Wildcats' surprising success in the 2006 season, which saw them win a regular-season Southeastern Conference title for the first time in over 30 years, coach John Cohen was signed to a five-year contract extension. A clause in the contract commits the university to either renovating or replacing the stadium. If construction on a new or renovated stadium does not start in 2008 or sooner, Cohen was free to walk away from the contract without a financial penalty. However, Cohen left the program at the end of the 2008 season for his alma materMississippi State. His assistant Gary Henderson was then given the head coaching job.

NB60s: Cliff Hagan/Zelmo Beaty
After his military service, Cliff Hagan and Ed Macauley were traded to the St. Louis Hawks for the draft rights to Bill Russell.

Between wind and water Between fire and ice I am the man Who must realise his future Prophets and priests Who are eating my brain Destroying my mind Will die in my final game I will burn the rain And drain the ocean, Just feel the pain, I'm not insane Cause the day will come, When you all must play My final game I'm awaken From a frightening dream My heart is restless It must be my final game All of my enemies Now rescounce from me If you'll get in my way I send you to the realm of shades You lit the dust I'm digging your grave You have to fear me You won't belong to the brave My endless sorrow Turned into rage You'll die in my cage
