==Early life==
Rupp was born outside Halstead, Kansas, His father Heinrich (Henry) Rupp was from Einsiedel, Galicia, Austria and his mother, Anna Lichi was from Kisselhof, Donnersbergkreis, Rheinland Pfalz, Germany. Adolph Rupp was the fourth of six children. He grew up on a farm which his father Heinrich's homesteaded. After his father's death in 1910, Rupp's eldest brother Otto took over farming responsibilities. As a youngster, Rupp worked on the farm and attended a school in a one-room country schoolhouse. He first became interested in basketball at only six, when Halstead won the first of two consecutive Kansas state high school basketball championships. According to interviews, he and his brothers stuffed rags into a gunnysack which his mother sewed up to use as a basketball on the family farm. Later, after growing to a sturdy 6-foot-2, Rupp was a star on his Halstead High School team, averaging over 19 points a game in both his junior and senior years. Rupp also served as team captain and unofficial coach.
After high school, Rupp attended the University of Kansas from 1919–1923. He worked part-time at the student Jayhawk Cafe to help pay his college expenses. He was a reserve on the basketball team under legendary coach Forrest "Phog" Allen from 1919 to 1923. Assisting Allen during that time was his former coach and inventor of the game of basketball, James Naismith, who Rupp also got to know well during his time in Lawrence.
In Rupp's junior and senior college seasons (1921–22 and 1922–23), Kansas (KU) had outstanding basketball squads. Later, both of these standout Kansas teams would be awarded the Helms National Championship, recognizing the Jayhawks as the top team in the nation during those seasons.
