BILL SELF RUMORS & GOSSIP
Self perfect fit for USA basketball in 2016
So I have this idea. I run it by Reid Gettys, mostly because he's a lawyer and heck of a lot smarter than me. Also, because he played with Clyde Drexler and Hakeem Olajuwon and has been calling college basketball games for 22 years now.
I don't always agree with his take. But I respect it.
"So," I ask, "what would you think about Bill Self coaching the...

Calipari, Self more than just recruiters
There is an inherent silliness to a profession like the one that has made rich men of John Calipari and Bill Self. They spend months, even years, burning thousands of gallons of jet fuel and begging teenagers to come play for them, even if it's just for 35 college games.
And if you're good enough at that particular skill, you earn the label of "recruiter," which...

KU's success starts with Self
The first time he rode to the Final Four, Bill Self was at the wheel of an Aston Martin, the envy of the lot. The Jayhawks had Darrell Arthur up front and Mario Chalmers and Brandon Rush in the back. He'd built a Kansas team that was sleek, sporty, and went from zero to 60 in about two seconds flat.
Four years later, Self is back in the promised land. Only this time, he'...

Self's late defensive change helps Kansas win
ST. LOUIS It was as if somebody had reached over and put dadgum gum in Roy Williams' hair.
Sometimes in Bracketville, it comes down to a tweak. At the 11:52 mark of the second half of the NCAA tournament's Midwest Regional final, North Carolina hit the under-12-minute media timeout with 61 points. Over the previous eight minutes, they'd scored 14 points. In the eight...

Bill Self Informing His Players They’re “Taking A Leak” After Media
The Kansas Jayhawks had just wrapped up a 60-57 victory over N.C. State last night so of course the TBS cameras wanted into Bill Self’s lockerroom to get the post-game speech. Congratulations, boys. Blah, blah, blah. Oh, and then Bill reminds certain players that they’ll be “taking a leak” after media. Can’t say we knew college basketball players were...

Video: Bill Self Tells Players To “Go Take A Leak” After Kansas Win
God bless cameras in the locker room. After the Kansas Jayhawks had a thrilling 60-57 victory over the North Carolina State Wolfpack, tv cameras were packed into the Kansas locker room. After head coach Bill Self delivered his postgame speech, he mentioned four of his players had to go take leak for drug testing.
The fact that this was mentioned on television is just superb....

Bill Self doesn’t like Baylor’s neon green uniforms
When adidas unveiled updated Baylor basketball uniforms earlier this week that decided to go the fluorescent route, many people probably didn’t know what to think. Were they radioactive? Were they glow-in-the-dark? Were they made of Aggro Crag? No, they were just really bright neon green. Reaction was understandably mixed, and Kansas coach Bill Self found himself as one of...

No. 8 Kansas 84, Oklahoma 62
Bill Self refused to let his team look past Oklahoma to a high-profile showdown with border rival Missouri, even though his own mind might have slipped that way a time or two.
Given the way No. 8 Kansas had played lately, they weren't always pleasant thoughts.
That certainly changed Wednesday night, though, when Thomas Robinson had 20 points and 17 rebounds to lead the Jayhawks...
