1. Four Big 8 basketball courts are named after former coaches. Kansas named theirs after the inventor of basketball, James Naismith. Name two of the other three coaches. One is named after a six-time Big 8 coach of the year who never made a final four. Another is named after a coach who won Big 8 coach of the year once and resigned from two different jobs in scandal. The final court is named after a coach who won Big 8 coach of the year four times and was the first to coach the men’s and women’s teams at the same school. All three also played at their alma mater where the court is named after them.
