LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) Bill Self has taken three teams to the Final Four and won a national title, he has more Big 12 championship rings than fingers and a national coach of the year award sits in his office.
This season may have been his finest coaching job at Kansas.
Once the nations No. 1 team, the Jayhawks had to juggle the distraction of an FBI investigation into apparel partner Adidas. They lost one of the nations most dominant big men, Udoka Azubuike, to a season-ending wrist injury. Sophomore forward Silvio de Sousa was rendered ineligible by the NCAA and veteran guard Lagerald Vick left the team late in the season.
