Legendary former Louisville basketball coach Denny Crum has died at 86.

Crum led Louisville to six Final Four berths and two national championships — 1980 and 1986 — in a 30-year career in which his teams went 675-295.

“We are saddened to share the passing of legendary UofL Basketball Coach Denny Crum,” Louisville’s basketball program announced Tuesday. “Our thoughts & prayers are with his loved ones.”

Crum coached Louisville from 1971-2001 after playing for John Wooden at UCLA and later working for him as an assistant.

Louisville began his tenure in the Missouri Valley Conference, before moving to the Metro Conference, and later to Conference USA.

Combined, Crum’s teams won their conference regular season 15 times.

“RIP to the legendary Louisville coach Denny Crum. Coach Crum was a brilliant coach, teacher, and competitor, and one of the finest gentlemen and champions the game has ever known,” ESPN college basketball analyst Jay Bilas tweeted. “Denny Crum will always be Louisville Basketball.”

Crum was nicknamed “Cool Hand Luke” for his unshakeable presence.

“I am heartbroken and saddened by the passing of Coach Denny Crum, a true Louisville and coaching icon. Growing up a Cardinal fan, he was a role model for us all in how he carried himself and elevated our basketball program to unprecedented heights,” tweeted Jeff Brohm, the Cardinals’ current football coach who grew up in Louisville and played quarterback at the school while Crum was the basketball coach.

“Cool Hand Luke brought us championships with the utmost class. His teams were high-flying and exciting and set a standard that others tried to emulate. Coach Crum never stopped serving this community, and his impact will last forever.

“He and his wife, Susan, became close friends of our family over the years, and we send our deepest condolences to his entire family and all those many people who loved him.”
