Product Description
One of the most storied and radition-rich basketball programs in America, the Kansas Jayhawks have produced many basketball legends-coaches and players alike. From their humble beginnings of playing in the basement of Snow Hall to the raucous atmosphere of Allen Fieldhouse, the Jayhawks have been a national powerhouse on the hardwood almost from the start. Kansas has been home to many great coaches, from the "Father of Basketball Coaching" Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, who successfully motivated his players with unorthodox methods, to current coach Bill Self, who took over for Roy Williams and will undoubtedly make his mark in Lawrence. Die-hard fans have cheered some of the game's greatest players through the decades-Wilt Chamberlain, Jo Jo White, Clyde Lovelette, and Danny Manning-and are anxious to see what becomes of recent stars like Drew Gooden and Wayne Simien. Tales from the Jayhawks Hardwood: Second Edition is an updated and revised collection of first-hand memories from the players and coaches who made history at the University of Kansas. Re-live those famous games, crowning moments, rivalries, bloopers and more.

Go Big Blue!! - History of KU Jayhawk Men's Basketball March 17, 2007
If you've ever watched the University of Kansas Jayhawks play basketball you'll want this book. It's filled with memories of recent players and those who started the program under Phog Allen, Dick Harp, Ted Owens, Larry Brown, Roy Williams and Bill Self. Some reminiscences included are of James Naismith at Lawrence, the father of basketball. Reading this book is almost as good as being in Allen Fieldhouse and hearing the thousands cheer on the Jayhawks. Read about players and coaches who left KU for the NBA, how the KU players were recruited and how those players feel to this day about their experience on the hardwood at KU. Almost entirely upbeat with a few sour notes thrown in for good measure. By the end of the book, if you're a true blue Jayhawk you'll be bursting with pride and yelling, "GO BIG BLUE!"
If you're into watching, then by all means check out the VHS video, Century of Tradition: KU Basketball, available from Amazon.
