Years: 1907-09, 1919-1956

Three national titles (1922, 1923,1952) and 590 career victories make "Phog" Allen the most successful coach in Kansas history.  He transformed the program from a pioneer in college basketball to a consistently productive program for nearly 40 years.

The Jayhawks' home arena since his last season on campus (1955) bears his name and a banner created by students in 1988 reads, "Pay Heed, All Who Enter: Beware of the Phog" still hangs in the Booth Family Hall of Athletics.

Forrest "Phog" Allen, who studied under James Naismith, developed a new style of play during his first stint from 1907-09, and left his stamp on the game in Lawrence with a 36-year tenure that made him not only the greatest coach in Kansas history, but one of the greatest in sports history.
