Bill Self Healthy, Rejoining Team For NCAA Tournament.
-
Talked to a friend that is a doctor, albeit at another hospital but word travels fast in these communities. He will be okay, not a major thing is what I’m hearing.

Officially out now
-
Illness. Or heart attack?
Obviously one changes things more than the other for the team moving forward.
Either way of course, well wishes to Coach Self for a speedy recovery
-
wow. just hope he’s ok.

Rumor mill was saying heart attack, but from what I’ve been able to gather this wasn’t super serious.
-
No myocardial infarction thank god.
-
"A source with knowledge of Self’s condition told the Journal-World that the long-term prognosis was positive. "
-
Sucks…hope he gets better and takes his health a bit more serious. That belly has been growing pretty consistent and he always seems pretty red faced.
-
@BShark said in Bill Self Heart Attack:

Yes, very thankful it’s not that
-
Bet he gets a stint. As long as the wound in the groin holds up, he should be back tomorrow.
-
I should send him some nattokinase. That is a better blood thinner than Plavix.
-
@BShark you think he had chest pains, found some blockage and they did a stint?
-
Very connected poster on the phog is also saying Self will be okay.
-

Messaging you.
-
@BShark heart related? And soon?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 yes heart related
-
It’s not serious. No timetable or anything but Coach will be fine.

Heard this very consistently as well.
-
At least Norm got some practice early in the season if it does end up being an extended period of time. Nothing replaced Bill, but maybe it’ll give the guys a little extra motivation.

A smol detail from what I can say with 1000% certainty. Just some vertigo last night and a stroke scare. He’s up and walking, no rehab or anything needed. Had a minor heart procedure last fall, this isn’t related.
-
Thanks for keeping us updated
-
Sounds like he should be discharged before the end of the weekend.

Stew has posted some good info on 247 not sure if you saw it.
-
Oh man. Scary.
-
Small update. Bill says the hospital juice is “not juiced. Not terrific.”
-
From 247 board, very knowledgeable poster.
-
Stints and stroke don’t go together? Stints are for blockages, right?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 He didn’t have a stroke.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Two types of strokes, ischemic (blockage), and hemorrhagic (bleed).
For blockages, stent could be used (like carotid artery). They put the collapsed stent in and expand it to open the channel. Not so good for a bleed.
-
Man, what scary and terrible news. I can’t imagine the stress that his ticker faces week in and week out competing at this level. I’m just watching on tv and mine misses beats watching games. Sending positive vibes out today to coach and his family for a speedy recovery.
-
Self will not coach the rest of this week.
-
WE GOOD @Crimsonorblue22
-
@BShark Very little info I was waiting for some type of press release with all rumors flying. Hopefully he is able to coach next week and beyond. Stuff like this makes me worried he could retire very soon.

Based on what I’ve heard about the procedure and typical recovery times, if he wants to coach in the 1 vs 16 game he should be able to.
-
Maybe he should take whatever that spammer was selling on our site this morning.
-
Did anyone else freak out and this of Mike Leech when this broke?
-
This is as likely to extend his career… maybe it’s a wake-up call and he puts more focus and energy on his lifestyle health choices.

It’s things like this that could very well make him think harder- - retire sooner. - Stop and think about it, I had said maybe 5-7 more years - been stated that he didn’t want to be one of these long time things - -wants to be able to enjoy the wife , travel and enjoy grandkids. - This game can be very , very stressful. you think about having to put up with al the BS from the NCAA everyday - - being on the road so much away from family dealing with recruiting and 18-19 yrs old thought process and how you have to constantly stay on top of them,. Just a lot of pressure- then STILL nothing about the ruling of these so called infractions weighing on you.
With this whole thing with these possible infractions and having this problem he could very easily say - -screw it -sooner then he had planned originally
-
@jayballer67 If his health drives Self out, we should make sure @approxinfinity forwards the “Who will replace Self?” thread to Girod so he can get a head start.
-
So, do we not believe he will make a full recovery?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I think he will, but I also think he will be prioritizing staying calmer on the sidelines. Since Fran told us 15 times yesterday that Harris could coach the team, I suspect HCBS will allow more on-court decision making next year. (Actually, Fran notwithstanding, I do think this, and think we may see similar grooming of players in that mold in the future.)

Good Idea , he needs to listen to us - we can pick a goat lol
-
So is it our belief that he received a stint or two?
If so, not sure that impacts his abilities to coach in his current style. I think it relates more to him improving his lifestyle choices relating to his health… meaning mostly diet.
-
I’m guessing he didn’t have open heart surgery, norm did talk to him. His daughter and fam were at game, Cindy and Tyler were with coach.

It will be interesting when it’s all said and done if he returns this Season or not. - Pretty quick re-run if he does. I bet they would advise him not to. - -health more important then Coaching
-
I’d be surprised if he’s not back.
-

I’ll be surprised if he isn’t coaching the first NCAAT game.
-
I expect him for round 1 of the NCAA tourney.
-
Several media outlets are reporting that Self did a zoom call with the team both before and after the ISU victory. I’d say that is good sign.
-
I heard he told them he’d be with them for next week.
