Join us to learn more about the rich history of University of Kansas basketball from a hoops junkie with a longstanding bond to the Jayhawks.

Chelan David, a native of Lawrence, Kansas, has strong ties to the Jayhawks and his book showcases his dedication to the team. Learn about the origin of the Beware of the Phog banner, how the Rules of Basketball made its way to Lawrence, KS, and relive some of the greatest games in the history of KU basketball. Chelan's journey is filled with encounters that bring Kansas basketball to life: conversations with Bill Self, Larry Brown, Roy Williams, Devonte' Graham, descendants of James Naismith and Phog Allen, and other KU legends.
