Phog Allen

The Father of Basketball Coaching

By: Blair Kerkhoff

Long before coaching great John Wooden won a decade worth of championships and Dick Vitale posed as basketball's P.T. Barnum, there was Kansas coach Forrest C. Allen, affectionately known as Phog to the sporting world. He proved to basketball inventor James Naismith that the game could be coached, then proceeded to do it better than anyone else in the first half of the 20th century. Phog Allen: The Father of Basketball Coaching is the first comprehensive story of college basketball's original coaching genius and dominant personality. In it, author Blair Kerkhoff returns readers to the game's roots, recounting Allen's early days at the University of Kansas where Naismith had become a teacher and coach, as well as looking at Allen's overall basketball experiences, his successes and the personalities he helped shape.

Tournament Town, Kansas City

Where the Basketball Madness Began

By: Blair Kerkhoff,Kansas City Star (Firm)

The madness started in Kansas City. Long before 68-team brackets, championships in massive stadiums, selection Sunday and even Dickie V., college basketball tournament frenzy was a March tradition in Kansas City. From the first tip-off in 1905--an event that attracted thousands--tournaments of the AAU, NAIA, NCAA and Big Eight/12 found homes in the downdown landscape and became part of Kansas City's sports DNA"--Front jacket flap.
