What is Tournament town, Kansas City : where the basketball madness began about?

Tournament madness started in Kansas City. Long before 68-team brackets, championships in massive stadiums, selection Sunday and even Dick Vitale, college basketball tournament frenzy was a March tradition in Kansas City. From the first tip-off in 1905 ... an event that attracted thousands ... tournaments of the AAU, NAIA, NCAA and Big Eight/12 found homes in the downtown landscape and became part of Kansas City s sports DNA. The Kansas City Star didn t miss a shot, slam dunk or net-cutting ceremony, telling the stories of the games, the championships and the visionaries who created and carried on this phenomenon. Tournament Town Kansas City: Where the Basketball Madness Began, by Star basketball writer Blair Kerkhoff and colleagues, is a collective effort of the writers, photographers and editors who shaped the coverage and chronicled the events. It tells the story of a city that gave college basketball tournaments a home, and in return the sport gave Kansas City a college hoop identity. The foreword is by Dick Vitale. It s the ideal time to tell these stories. Anniversaries are upon us. In 2012, the NAIA celebrates No. 75, and in 2013 the NCAA will recognize its 75th. Kansas City
