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 87th 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 professional championship 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.

Tournament Committee

Lowell Pitzer (Chair)

Lowell Pitzer has had a profound impact on NAIA basketball, serving as the commissioner of the American Midwest Conference for over 25 years and previously as the athletics director and both men’s and women’s basketball coach at Missouri Baptist University. He led MBU to its first-ever NAIA Men’s Basketball National Championship appearance in 1994 and was named AMC Men’s Basketball Coach of the Year in 1991-92. His leadership extended beyond coaching, serving on numerous NAIA committees, including the Men’s Basketball Championship Committee. In 2023 the AMC Board of Athletic Administrators amended the Presidents’ Cup by naming the men’s regular season standings in 16 sports the Lowell Pitzer Men’s Sports Championship Trophy. A recipient of the NAIA Frank Cramer Award and an inductee into multiple halls of fame, including the NAIA Hall of Fame in 2013, Pitzer’s contributions have left a lasting mark on the sport.

Mike Hall

Mike Hall is in his 12th year as commissioner of the Southern States Athletic Conference, where he has expanded membership, added championship sports, and enhanced branding and sponsorships. He serves on the NAIA Men’s Basketball Tournament Committee and was named the 2024-25 NAIA Commissioner of the Year. Before the SSAC, Hall was the Director of Athletics at USC Upstate, where he oversaw the school’s transition to NCAA Division I, led over $10 million in facility improvements, and expanded the athletic program from 11 to 17 sports. His leadership has left a lasting impact on collegiate athletics and the NAIA.

Al Bruehl

Al Bruehl built a powerhouse program at Robert Morris University, leading the Eagles for 20 seasons and amassing 684 career wins, including 7 final four appearances. Under his leadership, RMU made 13 NAIA National Tournament appearances, including six semifinal runs and a national runner-up finish in 2002. He captured 13 Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference regular season titles and 11 tournament championships, earning NAIA National Coach of the Year honors twice and CCAC Coach of the Year 11 times. Bruehl was inducted into the CCAC Hall of Fame in 2005 and the RMU Hall of Fame in 2013, leaving behind a legacy of excellence in NAIA basketball.

Matt Sherman

Matt Sherman, entering his third season as head coach at Central Methodist in 2024-25, has quickly made an impact with a 51-36 record, coaching 11 Heart All-Conference selections and one NAIA All-American. A standout player at CMU, he helped lead the Eagles to three consecutive 20-win seasons and two NAIA National Tournament appearances, setting school records for three-pointers made. After assistant coaching stints at Graceland, William Jewell, and CMU, he played a key role in CMU’s 2018 and 2022 national tournament bids. A 2015 CMU Hall of Fame inductee, Sherman continues to build on his legacy at his alma mater.

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 80 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.
