Who is the only coach in the University of Kansas men's basketball program history to have a losing record?

Give Billy a great big Fourth of July cigar. Dr. Naismith was hired by Kansas to be its first men's basketball coach. He came to Kansas in 1898 and retired in 1937; during the time he held many positions: PE Instructor, Chapel Director, University Physician before retiring as Athletic Director. He coached the JayHawks for nine years compiling a 55-60 record with only two winning seasons. He coached the late, great Phog Allen who went onto build the Kansas baskety ball dynasty. Dr. Allen coached Adolph Rupp, Dean Smith, Ralph Miller. So one can see the relationship be the Kansas, Kentucky, North Carolina dynasties. He also coached Wilt Chamberlin during his two years at Kansas.

My mother, and native of Linwood, Kansas, graduated for Kansas during WW2 and Phog Allen was my maternal grandmother's chiropractor way way back in the day.
