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, and relive some of the greatest games in the history of KU basketball.
