  • The Father of Basketball Coaching. Indianapolis: Masters, 1996.223 Pp
    222 Aethlon XVI:1 / Fall 1998 Blair Kerkhoff. Phog Allen: The Father of Basketball Coaching. Indianapolis: Masters, 1996.223 pp. $19.95. "I am very glad to know of your interest in the University of Kansas, but as you know, we do not have any special scholarships of any kind for athletes here at the University." Thus opens the standard letter Phog Allen used in the 1930s and 40s to respond to inquiries from prospective basketball players. Gems such as Allen's letter underscore the vast changes in college athletics, basketball in particular, since the 1940s. They're what fascinated me in reading this biography penned by a sportswriter for The Kansas City Star At times I wished Kerkhoff would provide more commentary and analysis on Phog's life than he does, as Kerkhoff tends to leave Allen's comments and actions to interpret themselves. But Allen's colorful statements do provide many entertaining moments in the book. Of the AAU, which Allen regularly attacked for having too much control in amateur athletics, he snapped, "I like the AAU like a fellow likes garlic for dessert." Another time he claimed AAU stood for ''Asinine And Unfair." Even his own players were not spared. Of center B. H. Born, who helped lead Kansas to the championship game in 1953, Phog complained after one game, "He stood around like a Christmas tree, and out of season at that." Apparently, Allen was also willing to stretch the truth for a good yarn, especially to inspire his teams in pre-game and halftime talks.

Pitino was on the search committee for a new UMass basketball coach, and he’d learned that athletic director Frank McInerney had soured at the last min- ute on the consensus choice—a 29-year-old Pittsburgh assistant named John Calipari—after hearing concerns about Calipari from a prominent coach. “Look, people have enemies in this game,” Pitino says he told the AD. “You can’t change your mind because one coach calls and says these things. That means he’s worried. If I he’s worried about this guy, then that’s a good thing.” Photograph by ED reINKE/AP Debate ensued. Finally, Pitino recalls, McInerney came around. “O.K., I’ll go with Calipari,” he said, “but we have one problem, Rick. I offered him a $63,000 salary. We only have [$58,000]. If you’ll write a check for $5,000, we’ll stick with our original decision.” “Fine, I’ll send it to you,” said Pitino. “No,” said McInerney, whose department was BLUE HEAveN After four seasons without strapped for cash. “I have to have it now.” These even a Sweet 16 appearance, days Pitino can’t help but laugh as he tells the story.

    Administration of Barack Obama, 2011 Remarks Honoring the NCAA Men's Basketball Champion University of Connecticut Huskies May 16, 2011 The President. Hello, everybody! Welcome. Please, have a seat. Have a seat. Welcome to the White House, and congratulations to the Huskies on being the best college basketball team in the land. Before we start, I want to acknowledge a big Huskies fan that's in the house: Senator Joe Lieberman is here. I know he is proud of this team. I have to be honest, this is a bittersweet day for me. [Laughter] On the one hand, I get to congratulate a great team and a great coach on winning the national championship. On the other hand, I'm reminded once again that my bracket was a bust. [Laughter] I did not pick UConn to win it all. That was a big mistake. [Laughter] I was just mentioning to Coach that it was because Andy Katz of ESPN told me there's no way UConn was winning. [Laughter] I did have these guys going to the Elite Eight, and I was doing pretty well in my pool at the beginning of the tournament, and then things completely fell apart. But I was not alone. Let's face it, this was a tough year for a lot of brackets because teams like this one shocked the world. So next time you guys decide to reel off 11 straight wins, please let me know ahead of time. [Laughter] Because the truth is, UConn's perfect run through the Big East and the NCAA tournament was a surprise to everybody but themselves and Coach.
