Forrest Clare "Phog" Allen (November 18, 1885 – September 16, 1974) was an American basketball and baseball player, coach ofAmerican football, basketball, and baseball, college athletics administrator, and osteopathic physician. Known as the "Father of Basketball Coaching,"[1] he served as the head basketball coach at Baker University (1905–1908), the University of Kansas (1907–1909, 1919–1956), Haskell Institute—now Haskell Indian Nations University (1908–1909), and Warrensburg Teachers College—now the University of Central Missouri (1912–1919), compiling a career college basketball record of 746–264. In his 39 seasons at the helm of the Kansas Jayhawks men's basketball program, his teams won 24 conference championships and three national titles. The Helms Athletic Foundation retroactively recognized Allen's 1921–22 and 1922–23 Kansas teams as national champions. Allen's 1951–52 squad won the 1952 NCAA Tournament and his Jayhawks were runners-up in the NCAA Tournament in 1940 and 1953. His 590 wins are the most of any coach in the storied history of the Kansas basketball program.

Joe B. Hall, former coach at UCM, asst coach under Adolf Rupp
Joe Beasman Hall, better known as Joe B. Hall (born November 30, 1928) was the head basketball coach at the University of Kentucky from 1972 to 1985. He previously coached at Central Missouri State University and Regis University before returning to UK in 1965 to serve as an assistant coach under Adolph Rupp. Hall was given a difficult task, to follow in the footsteps of his legendary predecessor, Adolph Rupp. In the 1978 NCAA Tournament, he coached the Wildcats to their fifth NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship. He was named National Coach of the Year in 1978 and Southeastern Conference Coach of the Year on four different occasions. His record at UK was 297–100, and 373–156 over his career.
Along with the 1978 title, Hall also guided Kentucky to a runner-up finish to UCLA in the 1975 NCAA tournament (which included an upset of heavily-favored and previously undefeated Indiana in a regional final), a Final Four appearance in the 1984 NCAA Tournament(losing to eventual champion Georgetown), and an NIT championship in 1976. He won 8 Southeastern Conference regular season championships and one Southeastern Conference tournament championship (1984). Hall is one of only three men to win an NCAA championship as a player (1949, Kentucky) and coach (1978, Kentucky). The only others to achieve this feat are Bob Knight and Dean Smith.
Hall played one year of varsity basketball at Kentucky before transferring to the University of the South (Sewanee), where he completed his basketball playing eligibility but did not graduate. After Sewanee, Hall toured with the Harlem Globetrotters and later returned to Kentucky to complete his undergraduate studies. Hall graduated from Kentucky in 1955.
On Tuesday, September 18th, 2012, the University of Kentucky unveiled a statue of Hall outside of the Wildcat Coal Lodge to commemorate his accomplishments at UK and his contributions toward the Wildcat Coal Lodge. The university says the bronze sculpture was produced over a period of eight months, beginning as a clay sculpture, then was cast in bronze. It was created by sculptor J. Brett Grill of Columbia, Mo.
Hall currently co-hosts a popular radio sports talk show with former University of Louisville basketball head coach Denny Crum.
Staring slowly and losing its first three games, the first two by a total of eight points, head coach Mildred Barnes rallied her troops and the youthful U.S. team won three of its last four games, including a two-point victory over eventual gold medalist South Korea.

Peggy Martin
Ask UCM sports fans to name the university’s greatest coaches and there’s one name that will make a lot of lists – Peggy Martin. The legendary Jennies volleyball coach retired in December 2008 after devoting 33 years to making UCM a top NCAA Division II volleyball competitor.
With Martin as coach, the Jennies won at least 25 matches for 31 consecutive seasons, while racking up 1,064 wins. Martin’s teams won or shared 19 Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA) titles since the league began sponsoring the sport in 1982. She led her teams to 26 consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, the most in NCAA Division II history, and reached the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals six times. Among her many career highlights was guiding her team to a national runner-up showing in 1987. The same year, she was recognized nationally by the American Volleyball Coaches Association as Division II Coach of the Year.
Martin continues to earn accolades well after her retirement from UCM. On Dec. 17, 2009, she will be honored by AVAC once again when it inducts her into its Hall of Fame. This fall she plans to begin coaching duties at the NAIA-Affiliated Spring Hill College.
Martin began her professional career as a coach after earning a bachelor’s degree at Indiana University in 1972. She was an assistant coach of women’s volleyball and assistant basketball coach at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro, where she earned a master’s degree. Martin served as women’s volleyball assistant coach at Florida Southern College for one season before joining UCM in 1975. She earned a doctorate at Indiana University in 1980.
Kim Anderson, former head coach at UCM.
Anderson played collegiately at Missouri from 1973-77, where he was a part of Norm Stewart’s first Big 8 Conference championship team in 1976. He led the league in scoring and was named Big 8 Player of the Year in 1977. Anderson scored 1,289 points in his career to rank among Missouri’s top-20 all-time scorers. Anderson was an Academic All-Big 8 selection in 1975 and 1977 and won Missouri’s George Edwards Award three times. An award given for basketball excellence, academic ability, citizenship and character. Anderson received his bachelor’s and master’s degree in education from Missouri in 1979 and 1981, respectively.
He is a member of the University of Missouri Athletic Hall of Fame and the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame in Springfield and in 2005 was named to the Mizzou Basketball All-Century Team.
Anderson was drafted in the second round of the 1977 NBA Draft by the Portland Trailblazers. He played the 1978-79 season for the Trailblazers and also played professionally in France and Italy for a total of three seasons.
Anderson was a prep standout at Sedalia (Mo.) Smith-Cotton High School, where he had his jersey retired after twice being named to the all-state team. Kim Anderson has built the Mules’ program into one of the most respected programs in the MIAA and all of NCAA Division II. He has won more games than other coach in school history with a 222-82 (.730.) career record. He has guided the Mules to two Final Fours, four MIAA Regular Season Championships, three MIAA tournament titles and has won at least 24 games five times. His four MIAA crowns are the most for any coach in UCM history. His .730 overall winning percentage ranks fifth among all active NCAA-II coaches.
Vernon Kennedy, America's Greatest Athlete 1927, Major League Baseball Player
Lloyd Vernon Kennedy (March 20, 1907 – January 28, 1993) After making a two-and a-half-day train trip from Pennsylvania with coach Tad Reid, Vernon Kennedy was welcomed home as winner of the Penn Relays Classic Decathlon. The lean, wiry young man from Mendon, MO, stunned the nation with track and field prowess that earned him the right to be called America's greatest all-around college athlete. Brothers Vernon (upper left) and Bill Kennedy (lower right) were formidible competitors and multi-sport athletes at Central Missouri.
News about his record-setting achievement spread quickly with headlines cropping up in newspapers from coast to coast. The story was covered in The Kansas City Star, where one writer's words today seem almost prophetic: "Down the corridors of time, the name of Vernon Kennedy will echo across the campus and playing fields at Warrensburg until a legendary halo surrounds his name." He was a starting pitcher in Major League Baseball. From 1934 through 1945, he played for the Chicago White Sox (1934–1937), Detroit Tigers (1938–1939), St. Louis Browns (1939–1941),Washington Senators (1941), Cleveland Indians (1942–1944), Philadelphia Phillies (1944–1945) and Cincinnati Reds (1945). Kennedy batted left-handed and threw right-handed. He was born in Kansas City, Missouri. Kennedy attended college at what is now known as the University of Central Missouri, where the football field bears his name.
While pitching for the Chicago White Sox, Kennedy threw the first no-hitter ever in Comiskey Park – a 5–0 shutout overCleveland on August 31, 1935. His most productive season came in 1936, when he posted career-highs in wins (21), innings pitched (274⅓) and complete games (20). A competent hitting-pitcher, he compiled a .244 average (181-for-743) with 36extra base hits, including four home runs and 61 RBI. He also made the American League All-Star team in 1936 and 1938. In a 12-season career, Kennedy posted a 104–132 record with 691 strikeouts and a 4.67 ERA in 2025⅔ innings.
Mr. Kennedy attended Central Missouri State University in Warrensburg where he was an outstanding athlete, competing in football and track and field events. As a tackle for the Mules, he was a three-time All-MIAA selection. In track and field, he helped the Mules to four straight MIAA track and field titles, and set school records in the Javelin, shot put and discus. Capping his college years was a national title in the 1927 decathlon at the prestigious Penn Relays on Franklin Field in Philadelphia.
In 1951, Central Missouri State established the Vernon Kennedy Award, which is presented to the school's outstanding male athlete each year.
In 1954, CMSU renamed its football field, Vernon Kennedy Field.
Kennedy died in Mendon, Missouri, at the age of 85 after a shed roof collapsed on him.
Ron Tabb, World Class Marathoner, graduated from UCM
Ron Tabb (born August 7, 1954) is a retired male long-distance runner from the United States, who competed in the late 1970s and early 1980s in the men's marathon. He won the 1981 edition of the Paris Marathon ex-æquo with England's Dave Cannon. He won the 1983 Beijing Marathon and competed at the 1983 World Championships in Athletics later that year, finishing in 18th place overall. Tabb attended Central Missouri State University between 1972–1977 and was inducted into their Hall of Fame in 2004.[1] His career suffered due to the 1980 Olympic boycott, as he had qualified for the games but the United States did not participate in the Moscow Games. He married Mary Decker in 1981 but they divorced two years later.
Mark Curp, World Class half marathoner, first person to run a half marathon in 1 hour
Mark Curp (born January 5, 1959 in Lee's Summit, Missouri) is a former world and American record holder in the half marathon. He attended the Central Missouri State University.

Germaine Race (born April 7, 1985 in Kansas City, Missouri) is a free agent American football running back who most recently played for the San Diego Chargers of the National Football League. He was originally signed by the Chargers as anundrafted free agent in 2007. He played college football at Pittsburg State.
While Race has been a dominant performer ever since suiting up for the Gorillas as a freshman, he has played in relative obscurity at the Division II level. However, talk to most professional scouts and they will sound like a choir, as they all chime in when saying they feel that Race is the premier power runner in the collegiate game. One of only three players in NCAA history (all levels) to rush for over 90 touchdowns (collegiate record 97 scores) in a career, he also holds the all-time NCAA record for scoring with 598 points.
Race was also an exceptional runner during his prep days at Warrensburg High School.
He earned first-team Missouri Class 4A All-State honors as a senior, rushing for 2,069 yards and 29 touchdowns in 2002. He added 1,785 yards and 1nineteen scores on the ground as a junior and amassed 4,751 yards with 63 scores during his career.
Race made his presence felt immediately as a true freshman at Pittsburg State. He had the second-best rushing yardage total (982) on 145 carries and set the school freshman record with seventeen touchdowns on the ground. He also added 22 yards and a score on three receptions. He ranked 22nd in the NCAA Division II ranks in scoring, averaging 9.0 points per game.

| Ex-Lady Cub Carla Eades headed to Hall of Fame | |||
Sports Editor Former Madison Lady Cub and Indiana All-Star Carla Eades Krebs has been named to the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame - the first female player from Madison Consolidated High School to be honored. Krebs, previously recognized by the Hall as a member of the Silver Anniversary team in 2005, was a sophomore on Madison's regional championship team in 1978 and a senior in 1980 when she was named to the Indiana All-Stars and was MVP of the All-Star game in Kentucky that season. Contacted today while driving to her job as an elementary physical education teacher in Lee's Summit, Mo., Krebs described being named to the Indiana Basketball hall of Fame as "the ultimate." "It's the ultimate. As a kid you can't even dream of this," Krebs said. "You could dream about being an All-Star and you could dream about playing for Indiana University and you could dream about playing in the Olympics, but something like this is almost too big to dream." She graduated as the school's all-time leading scorer, amassing 1,220 points and averaged 23.5 points over 52 games - as a good outside shooter before adoption of the 3-point line. She reached double figures in every varsity game she played and led the team in rebounding three straight seasons. Her career scoring mark is still third in school history behind only Brittany Myers (1,551) and Molly Holt (1,480) despite playing 33 games fewer than Myers and 38 fewer than Holt. "I played before the 3-point line. I would have loved to have had that," Krebs said. "I would have given anything to have the 3-point shot when I played. It's no telling how many more points I would have scored." "She had good work ethic and it was what she wanted to do and she was good at it," said former Madison coach Mary Louise Eisenhardt, who coached the Lady Cubs during that run to the semistate in 1978 when Krebs was already a standout player. "She was a good ball handler, good shooter and she played well with the other girls. She was the whole package." Krebs' route to the Indiana All-Stars took flight when she scored 260 points as a sophomore in 15 games, 475 as a junior in 17 games and 485 as a senior in 20 games. She averaged 24.3 points per game during her senior season and had a 30-point average in five sectional and regional games that year. After graduating from Madison, Krebs went on to a stellar career at Central Missouri State University, where she led the Jennies to the 1984 NCAA Division II national championship. She was named to the NCAA All-Tournament Team and was the Most Outstanding Player during that 1984 title run. She was later named WBCA Division II Player of the Year that same season, was a two-time Kodak All-American and a member of the NCAA Division II All-Tournament team in 1983. Her uniform number was retired following CMSU's 1984 NCAA Division II championship victory. During her run at Central Missouri, Krebs rewrote the Jennies' record book. She became the only woman in school history to score 2,000 points (2,098) and set a career record of 593 assists and 251 steals. During her college career Carla hit 48.3 percent from the field and 79.2 at the free throw line. Eades-Krebes, the daughter of Phil and Judy Eades of Madison, was equally talented in the classroom where she had four semesters with a perfect 4.0 grade point average and registered an overall of 3.8 during her four years in Missouri. After graduation from Central Missouri State, Krebs was drafted in the first round in the Women's ABA selection process. The Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame will be Krebs' third induction. She was previously named to the inaugural induction class for the UCM Sports Hall of Fame and the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame. Krebs currently teaches elementary physical education at Hazel Grove Elementary School in Lee's Summit, Mo. She is married to Joe Krebs and they live in Lee's Summit with one daughter, Brittany. Krebs will be inducted along with nine other honorees at Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame's Annual Women's Banquet on Saturday, April 25 at the Primo Banquet Hall located on the south side of Indianapolis. |
