Mayor

Dear NAIA Basketball Fans,

Thank you for visiting Kansas City!

On behalf of the City of Kansas City, Missouri, I extend a warm welcome to you for the 86th National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Men’s Basketball National Championship. Kansas City is thrilled to be hosting the NAIA this year and we are looking forward to an exciting tournament! Kansas City is home to several sports teams - the Kansas City Royals, Sporting KC, Kansas City Current, Mavericks, and the now Super Bowl LIV, LVII, & LVIII Champions, the Kansas City Chiefs.

Situated in the heart of America, Kansas City is an accessible city for fans traveling from any corner of the country, and certainly for those within the region who see our city as an ever -growing destination. Beyond our beautiful city, we are known for our unequivocal Midwest kindness, the diversity of our residents, and the united identity we all share and proudly display to visitors.

Our city is known for its beautiful fountains and for having many museums such as the Nelson Atkins Museum and the Kauffman Center for Performing Arts, and championship professional sports teams. We offer several vibrant entertainment districts and cultural centers such as Power & Light District, Crossroads, Country Club Plaza, River Market, and our historic 18th & Vine Jazz District - all of which are accessible through our zero-fare public transit system.

Whether you are in the mood for the best BBQ in the country or a microbrew in a pub with a live band, I am confident your visit will be a memorable one.

It is my hope that your time in Kansas City is spent laughing and enjoying all this city has to offer you, your friends, and family. I hope you visit again soon.

Very truly yours,

Quinton D. Lucas

About our Quadrant Namesakes

James Naismith is synonymous with the sport he invented, so it wasn’t surprising in 1937 to find him conspiring with friends Emil Liston and Frank Cramer to create the first collegiate basketball national championship for small colleges, played at Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Mo.

Frank Cramer had already made a name for himself as a pioneer in athletic training products when in 1937 he partnered with James Naismith and Emil Liston to come up with the idea for a college basketball tournament for small colleges. Cramer is regarded as one of the founding fathers of the NAIA.

A.O. Duer, director of athletics and basketball coach at Pepperdine University, succeeded Emil Liston in leading the growth of the National Association of Intercollegiate Basketball (NAIB) by bringing the permanent headquarters of the association to Kansas City. Duer was the catalyst behind integration of the tournament in 1948.

Emil Liston, then the athletics director and basketball coach at Baker University, was part of the original trio whose kitchen-table conversation in 1937 brought about the first national tournament for small colleges in Kansas City. Along with Cramer and Naismith, he founded college basketball’s oldest tournament and quickly helped move the vision forward with the creation of the NAIB.

Honorary Coach Program

The NAIA Honorary Coach program started in 1945, giving a unique opportunity for fan engagement directly with the teams and ensuring that all teams that advance to the NAIA tournament have a memorable experience. Conceived by Frank Hesselroth, Charlie Stevenson and Emil S. Liston, the NAIA Honorary Coach program has been a viable program for the NAIA and its fans for more than 75 years, providing individuals and businesses the opportunity to become actively involved with the NAIA tournament.

When their team arrives for the event, honorary coaches have the opportunity to meet the players and coaches, take them out for a team meal, and attend team practices around the Kansas City Metropolitan area. During the tournament, the honorary coaches are recognized during the NAIA StudentAthlete Experience and the NAIA Parade of Champions, and sit with their teams on their bench.

Although they have known the players for a short time, NAIA Honorary Coaches become their biggest fans, cheering them on to victory or consoling them in defeat, leaving lasting impressions on thousands of NAIA basketball players.
