If you’re a Tennessee basketball fan, you’re going to want to mark your calendar for Wednesday, July 29.
Some stories deserve more than a single article. This is one of them.
KnoxTNToday is launching Inside Tennessee Basketball: A Walk Through History, an exclusive eight-part series that takes readers behind the scenes of one of the most remarkable collections of Tennessee basketball history. While many fans know the legendary names and unforgettable games, few have had the opportunity to experience the incredible museum that preserves those memories in one place.
Recently, I had the opportunity to tour the museum with its founder and hear the stories behind the displays. What I discovered wasn’t just a collection of jerseys, trophies and photographs. It was a journey through more than a century of Tennessee basketball, filled with unforgettable players, legendary coaches, championship moments and fascinating pieces of history that even longtime Vol fans may not know.
Over eight installments, I’ll take you inside the museum to share rare artifacts, memorable moments and the personal stories that bring Tennessee basketball history to life. You’ll hear firsthand insights from the museum’s founder and discover why each display represents much more than memorabilia—it represents the people and moments that built the program.
Whether you’ve followed the Vols for decades or simply enjoy East Tennessee history, this is a series you won’t want to miss.
The first installment debuts Wednesday, with a new chapter appearing each weekday until the series concludes the following Friday.
We hope you’ll join us for this special KnoxTNToday series—and perhaps discover a few stories about Tennessee basketball you’ve never heard before.
