Who would ever replace Self?
-
@BShark @approxinfinity - Ban this dude forever please.
-
@BeddieKU23 I would quit watching. Just like I did when his Drewās twin brother was at WSU.
-
Guess it wonāt be Calipari -
Lolā¦ so many UK fans thought they had it made signing him into perpetuityā¦ now they feel like suckers!
-
@BeddieKU23 the whiniest coach in our league? Brings a tape to show Fran we get the calls in AFH? That guy? He has the best backcourt in America. What would Self do with that? I think heās slipped a lil since Tang left, the
ās. Remember when he stuck his head in our locker room and Svi said, āWhoās that?ā Remember when he took his team off the court pregame so they wouldnāt watch our historic pregame video? Heās a wuss! 
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I agree heās a wuss and a dweeb but do think he should get a little credit for developing that ābest backcourt in America.ā The guards heās had come through there all get better over time and develop skills that make them hard to guard. Some of that has to be coaching and the system.
I think about it like this, Harris would probably never make it off the bench there in 4 years but a guy like Elijah Johnson or Malik Newman would have been an absolute STAR. Obviously those guys had success at KU as well but would have been HUGE at Baylor. Just my two cents.
-
@benshawks08 no!
-
Heās cringe for sure, I have zero love for him personally but I do respect what he has done and I think we are little blinded to how good heās been since they are a conference foe and we know the ins and outs. Basically everything Drew does on the court rivals the best of the rest out there. Won a championship, develops talent, gets talent in the door. If he never had to talk the media or deal with his wayās Iād be all for it. Iām surprised his name wasnāt mentioned since he is the coach KU has struggled the most to beat in the last 5 yrs. Iāll end with, heās a creepy dude
-
This is an event that is 10 to 15 years away. The guy that replaces Self might not be coaching right now.
-
@Jethro that would be wonderful!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Drew reeks of douchiness and small dog syndrome. But he deserves credit for what he has done in Waco. People forget that program was nearly cancelled before he was hired due to teammates killing each over drugs. That place was really as low as you could go before him.
-
That guy just looks like he must have had some connection to the Branch Davidians. Iām a no vote.
-
I think Drew has come a long ways over the years. I used to slam him and call him the āRolex coachā saying he would start a recruit visit with a handshake while sliding on a Rolex.
Iāve watched a lot of interviews with him over the years. The guy showed some humility and was open-minded to improving his knowledge of the game. Add that in with the Baylor administration making a big āspiritual commitmentā to all their programs and it does add up to success.
We canāt say Baylor is just a flash in the pan anymore. Their environment is built for success. For that, I give Drew his hard-earned kudos!
I do wonder if they dip somewhat from losing Tang because I think he is popular with players.

What about Norm Roberts?
-
Any thoughts from those of you who follow these things, about this guy from Seth Davisās list of coaches likely to move to new jobs this year:
Pat Kelsey, head coach, Charleston. In just his second season with the Cougars, Kelsey has led the team to a 31-3 record, the CAA regular season and conference titles, and the programās first AP Top 25 ranking in 13 years. But heās no one-hit-wonder. Kelsey is a Skip Prosser disciple who was an assistant coach at Wake Forest and Xavier, and as the head coach at Winthrop, he led the Eagles to three league titles in his last five years. He coaches an exciting, up-tempo style and has a high-octane personality, which would be appealing to a program in need of energy.
-
Definitely going to get attention after their season is over. They look like a team that can win a game next week

ya , why not - -Knows Coach Selfās system, so no change there, Been with Ku as long as Coach - -seems like continuity wouldnāt been broken. - We could do worse
-
Iām probably forgetting someone, but would Haase be amongst the best KU guys to hire today? Personally Iād rather they looked for the next rising star, but I suppose that could be Jeremy Case in 10 years as well.
-
@dylans Thereās not really anyone with ties to KU that are impressive enough at this point to merit interest for a job the caliber of Kansas.
-
@BShark LMAO Iāve never seen a better use of this meme.

Letās get Haase at K-State. After Tang leaves, letās you and me start a hire Haase campaign. Those dumb rednecks wonāt know any better. Weāll go on their boards, and pretend weāre real fans.
-
@Jethro lol. I donāt want a KU guy hired. I think would be a mistake - none are any good and theyād be hard to fire.
Iām still a Brad Stevens fan.
-
Norm not looking too bad.
-
I love Norm.
But Norm had his chance at St. Johnās. I think we can do better. And I think we can find a guy who will be here for 15+ seasons.
-
@Kcmatt7 but he might never lose a game again!
-
Heās to old
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Thatās what Peter said about shadow and how did that turn out?!

Young stud who will be the obvious choice at the time. A decades long hire that is a marriage to the institution. Itāll be a new beginning and Iām glad Iām not shouldering the decision.
-
Watching Norm has me pining for Self if anything. He certainly has a higher tolerance for mistakes for better or worse.
-
Slim chance, but maybe Jay Wright would come out of retirement for a few years? Easier to recruit at Kansas.
-
Would jay wright have the courage to play KJ at the 4 like norm?
-
@BShark I honestly sometimes wish BS would let guys play thru their mistakes a little more often, especially the younger guys. I agree with about 95% of what BS does and hindsight is always 20/20.
-
Norm and jay r old

And a much higher tolerance for MJ!
Although I was happy to see him play, despite his play.
-
If Self doesnāt come back, Iād like to see KU go after UConnās coach.
-
@AsadZ oh lord it would be harder to cheer for KU with a Hurley at the helm
-
Farmer, The guy can recruit and coach.
-
Doesnāt mean I have to like him
-
Perhaps Iām missing something as I donāt have information on his background
Pardon my ignorance here

Oh HELL NO no way would I want a hurley even close to the KU campus. - If we had to get our replacement, which we will some time-but I woudl ry like hell to pull Jay Wright out of retirement. Think he would be really good for us. He will not ever come out but wouldnāt hurt to wish lol
-
Jay, Why is dat?
-
@AsadZ Heās a bit sleazy I think, maybe some coach K wore off on him 30 years ago?
-
His brother played at Duke, now ASU HC.

Danny didnāt play at Duke. He played at Seton Hall for PJ Carlesimo. Bobby Hurley, the head coach at Arizona St., is the one that played for Coach K at Duke.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 The transitive property of sleaze applies to thing even indirectly connected to K.

Hard pass. No. Just no.
-
Will Wade 2 KU
-
@BShark And now you will burn for a sin of darkest evilā¦
-
@BShark before I found out how used cars salesman sleazy Wade was I thought he was on a trajectory to end up coaching a blue blood. Might still happen. Iād wager Chris Beard will be coaching at a blue blood within 5 years.
