I'm in tears watching Bill Self 15 years later. Ive been watching him my hole life. I love that man. RCJH

[@derekmathews1557]

19 years later, Bill Self has won 2 natl. championships, made 4 final fours, has a winning percentage of .818, has led Ku to its 16th final four. He is a hall of famer with at least over 700 wins. He’s 296-16 at Kansas. Now 309-17 at Phog Allen Fieldhouse. The same number of final fours Kansas has and conference titles Kansas has in the Bill Self era is the same number of home losses. Bill Self is the greatest Kansas Jayhawk coach of all-time. He has led Ku to 9 of their 15 30 win seasons. Plus nine elite 8s as well.

Amazing. I was very early into my KU Fandom when Bill Self took over and I certainly never saw a lot of the stuff that happened as at that time my parents didn't have TV. Now I see this and I'm like ........... dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm He is a legend already ... but commenting this 1.5 hours before his 3rd championship game appearance ..... time to get your 2nd, NCHOFHCBS

THE MOST IMPORTANT moment in Kansas Jayhawks basketball history. 19 yrs later? - 9 Elite8s. - 4 Final Fours. - 3 National Title gm apperances. - 2 National Titles. - Most overall wins in country since 2003-04 season-2021-22 season. - Most Reg Season Conf Titles. - 14 straight BigXII Conf Titles fr 05-18.(Now the longest in NCAA history.) - Owns consecutive weeks ranked in AP Poll. (2009-prsnt. Longest in NCAA history.) - Kansas is #1 in All-time Wins. Kentucky is #2.. - Kansas has made 32 straight NCAA Tournaments. (By far leads country. A streak that will most likely NEVER touched by a team out of a Pwr5 Conf.)

In Bill we TRUST. This guy is worth every penny. I would not want anyone else coaching KU.

[@derekmathews1818]

Bill Self has been nothing short of amazing since he has been at Kansas. He's been at Kansas for 15 years, on average, Ku has averaged about 30 wins. He's won 30 games at least 7 out of 8 seasons I believe. He's made 10 elite 8s, 3 final fours, won the conference 14 times, been to two title game appearances, winning one time. If that's considered choking, then I'm all for it. But Ku is way overdue for a natl. championship. They need to take it all year.

[@vandrosia]

Self's days at KU are numbered. Adidas paid blue chip recruits to come play for KU and Self knew about it. I oftened wondered why these top recruits wanted to come to Kansas out of anywhere else -- now we know! Adidas paid them cash!

[@derekmathews1818]

Vandrosia, that’s water under the bridge, and Self knew nothing about that. Don’t don’t like like Ku is the only program that is involved in doing that. Desousa got cleared for your information! Bill Self is going to keep his job so you might as well sit down and shut the fuck up! Get the fuck out of here because nobody wants to listen to your negativity anymore. Recruits came to Kansas because they are a top program MORON! They don’t have to pay nobody.

[@derekmathews1557]

@@vandrosia, oh shut the hell up with your petty nonsense. I’m so tired of people like you. Self got a lifetime contract so he’s not going anyway. Ku will have lawyers ready for all that madness. Just go away.
