@ Beware the Phog! A native of Lawrence, Kansas, Chelan David has a unique bond with Kansas basketball. Some of his earliest memories emanate from fabled Allen Fieldhouse, a limestone theater filled with tradition, pageantry, and ghosts of former Jayhawk greats. Stories from the Phog guides readers on a 40-year journey through the eyes of a hoops junkie while tracing the roots of the historic program. Relive the program’s most memorable moments with anecdotes from all four living coaches and descendants of James Naismith and Phog Allen. Experience the magic of Allen Fieldhouse through the eyes of players, famed announcers, and one of its original architects. A must-read for any KU basketball fan, Stories from the Phog puts readers in the seats at Allen Fieldhouse as the Beware of the Phog banner is unfurled for the very first time, the Jayhawks score 150 points against Kentucky, and Nick Collison receives a standing ovation from Dick Vitale. Relive the exhilarating come-from-behind victories against Missouri in 2012 and against West Virginia in 2017, a game that set the record for the loudest crowd roar at an indoor sports event. Books will be available for purchase and signing. This event will be held in-person and also livestreamed on the Watkins Museum Facebook and YouTube.
