Very cool post. Thanks!

Relatedly, Kansas' only coach in history with a losing career record is also their greatest coach - Dr. James Naismith.

Someone in Australia read about that new sport of basketball and wrote to Naismith to get a copy of the rules.  Their interpretation of Naismith's original rules of basketball is a big women's sport in the Commonwealth countries called Netball.

And you know who was a pretty good netball player.  Ryan Broekhoff's sister!  Now, the Valpo 6 degrees of separation to everything is complete.
