Keeping in mind that my mother is a Kansas native and a graduate of the Univ. of Kansas. Dr. Naismith is the asnwer to a trivia question that very very few people get the right answer.
Dr. Naismith was the first men's basketball coach at Kansas (that is why the court at Phogg Allen Fieldhouse is named after Dr. Naismith) and coached two players that went on to be legendary college coaches: Adoph Rupp (Kentucky) and Dr. Phogg Allen (Kansas).
The trivia question: Who is the only men's basketball coach at Kansas to have a losing record for his tenure at Kansas?
Also Dr. Naismith had doctorates in two areas: medicene and theology. And was a Canadian.
