Remembered in name but underappreciated in legacy, Forrest “Phog” Allen arguably influenced the game of basketball more than anyone else. In the first half of the twentieth century, Allen took basketball from a gentlemanly, indoor recreational pastime to the competitive game that would become a worldwide sport. Succeeding James Naismith as the University of Kansas’s basketball coach in 1907, Allen led the Jayhawks for thirty-nine seasons and holds the record for most wins at that school, with 590. He also helped create the NCAA tournament and brought basketball to the Olympics. Allen changed the way the game is played, coached, marketed, and presented. Scott Morrow Johnson reveals Allen as a master recruiter, a transformative coach, and a visionary basketball mind. Adolph Rupp, Dean Smith, Wilt Chamberlain, and many others benefited from Allen’s knowledge of and passion for the game. But Johnson also delves into Allen’s occasionally tumultuous relationships with Naismith, the NCAA, and University of Kansas administrators. Phog: The Most Influential Man in Basketball chronicles this complex man’s life, telling for the first time the full story of the man whose name is synonymous with Kansas basketball and with the game itself.

In the world of college basketball, few structures can match the aura of the massive limestone edifice situated on the University of Kansas campus known as Allen Fieldhouse. Dedicated 50 years ago on March 1, 1955, it marked the largest campus arena in the nation for a significant period of time. The inventor of the game of basketball, Dr. James Naismith, introduced to the campus both the sport and his most prized pupil, Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, in the early 1900s. It was Allen, who came to be known as the "Father of Basketball Coaching," that elevated the sport to practically a religion among the Jayhawk faithful. When it came time to build a new arena to satisfy the burgconing fan support, there was never any question that it would be named in honor of the man they called Phog. Beware of the Phog: 50 Years of Allen Fieldhouse chronicles the history of the facility that houses Kansas basketball. Readers will get unique insight into the epic battles that have occurred in this legendary building from the coaches, players, fans, media, officials, and administrators who lived those experiences. They will learn of the traditions, anecdotes, and unique qualities that make the facility more than just a place where games are played. If the classroom buildings are the heart of KU's campus, then "The House That Wilt Built" is its soul. It might be constructed of a mass of stone, metal and concrete, but there is a spirit that provides the constant reminder that the place is indeed special. The constant echo of the Rock Chalk Chant emanates from faraway recesses while the fresh buttery popcorn aroma flows from cubbyholes under the bleachers. Allen Fieldhouse is truly a place like no other.

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.

Forrest C. ("Phog") Allen overcame the argument of James Naismith, inventor of the game, that basketball didn't need a coach. Allen served (for a while under Naismith) at the University of Kansas as coach from 1907 to 1909 and from 1919 to 1956, and as athletic director from 1919 to 1937 also heading the Physical Education Department for a time. Kansas City Star sportswriter Kerkhoff has written an evenhanded yet generally laudatory story of a highly controversial figure who spoke his mind even when his words spelled trouble for him. He attacked some of his faculty colleagues in the KU Medical School, who objected to having a department head with a degree in Osteopathy, carried on a running battle with the National Collegiate Athletic Association and stubbornly clung to his opinion, never heeded that the basket should be raised from 10 to 12 feet above the court.
