I talked to a lawyer friend of mine earlier. A court might not look at it very fondly because non-competes generally aren’t enforceable if there’s no geographic issue (Tucson to LFK is a long way) and there are no trade secrets really at stake.
Even if a judge rules on it, by the time that lawsuit would make its way through to a conclusion, that's a lot of extra money and time wasted if KU tried pursuing it.
Looks like if Self retires, Tommy Lloyd won't be an option because there's language in his contract that prevents him from leaving Arizona for another school within the conference.
At this point, if Self does decide to retire and KU does end up looking outside the KU family, Otz would be my pick. His buyout is only $4 million and it sounds like ISU is struggling a bit with NIL because they don't have the wealthy donors that can fund NIL like other schools can.

@Texas-Hawk-10 seedings don't mean quality teams. Look at our early exits lately. It doesn't matter where a team is seeded. It matters how they perform.
In case you forgot, seeding is based on a team's performance throughout the year. Very rarely does the best team in the country actually win the NCAA championship.
Lol, this is an embarrassing take. KU has been lower than a 4 seed twice since 1990 I believe. Duke went 12 years from 2010-2022 without winning an ACC title and a bunch of early exits from the NCAA Tournament during that time as well including losing to a 15 seed.
It sounds like Tommy Lloyd is UNC's top choice followed by Billy Donovan and Dusty May.
If Bill Self retires, KU won't be the only blue blood hiring. North Carolina is now open as they have split with Hubert Davis.
How would we feel about this team, a front court rotation of Ejiofor, Udeh, Clemence and a backcourt with Bobby Pettiford in it?
We know what Ejiofor turned into which is why I was so frustrated losing him, but Udeh, Clemence, and Pettiford were also solid role players on teams that won at least one game in the NCAA Tournament this year.

On a brighter note KU Women won their 2nd round WBIT game….
That's not brighter honestly. Schneider is going to do just enough to save his job again, bring in another strong recruiting class and build expectations for next season, then significantly underachieve and do just enough to save his job again. The man has made 2 NCAA Tournament's in 11 years. Fire his ass already regardless of what ever happens in this tournament.
Self needs to make his decision relatively quickly on his future too for recruiting purposes. We've seen how a coach choosing to retire late summer can gut a roster and set programs back.
Also, if Vaughn isn't the choice, Self needs to make the decision so KU can go out and find a coach. If KU looked outside the program instead of going with Vaughn, I would be looking at College Station and Bucky McMillan.

Marko lacks a quick first step and Bball IQ
The first step isn't what got him. Elmarko bit on the stutter step, he had good position initially.
KU isn't winning this playing a high tempo pace.
I'm not Catholic, but how is the Pope not #1 in that region? How many other people are known by over a billion people?

Im fine with it all. We have a major coaching issue
what's the issue?
Advanced scouting in season has been trash in recent years. How many times has KU come out and looked unprepared against teams? That's the assistants not being good with advanced scouting
I don't know how much validity there is to this, but saw a post on Facebook today that Jeremy Case is going to interview for the Arizona St. job. Also saw that rapper/producer Master P is interested in the Arizona St. job which is interesting considering his son currently plays at Houston.
@rockchalkjayhawk said in Selection Sunday + Bracket Challenge:
I don't think the St. John's potential matchup is that bad for KU.
They don't have the big big size that typically bugs KU's bigs.
Zuby and Hopkins are 6-9 and 6-7. Mitchell is 6-8.
If those guys are 6-10+, then i'd be more worried.
I think Flory will be fine -- if somebody highly caffeinates Tiller before tip off!
Size isn't the issue with St. John's, the reason it's a bad match up for KU is because they play an extremely physical brand of ball similar to Houston, Iowa St., and Arizona and we all saw how poorly KU looked against those teams away from Allen Fieldhouse.

Just looking at how insane it is for St. John’s to be a 5 seed. They won both big east titles, are 16th in Net and 17th in KenPom. If you figure in how hot they are you could make a case for a 3 seed.

Big East is trash this year other than St. John's and UConn. 16th and 17th in NET and KenPom is the last 4 seed, first 5 seed range which is where St. John's got seeded.
Not a fan of seeing St. John's as our 5 seed. They play the extreme physical style of ball that KU has struggled with the most this season.
