not that he will, but that puts things in perspective

He absolutely can catch Coach K if he stays at Kansas long enough. What a historical career Self has had. 20 unprecedented seasons for sure.KUTradition wrote: ↑Tue Dec 27, 2022 8:49 pmand there’s a whole lot of folks that said Self wouldn’t/couldn’t catch K

haters gonna hate
Tony Guy, the only basketball player I ever had a class with at KU. We were in English 101 together.
It's not a hate thing.

You think K helped his legacy his last 1-3ish years? Maybe more. He got weird. Angry. Out of touch.
This is a young mans game. Self is already a top 10 college coach of all time. He deserves to ride off into the sunset whenever he is ready....but hey, if it's 75, and passing K is something he wants to do, he'll be doing it at KU. And that'll be awesome.
I just don't think that specific record means as much to him as the team accolades and his players accolades/future successes. It rarely feels like "it's about him" if you know what I mean.
I don't think he would stick around JUST to pass Coach K. Just saying that if he coached that long, he would break the record. Self is averaging more than 27 wins a season at KU, over 28 wins a season the last 10 years and over 29 wins a season the last 7 years so he seems to be getting better and more consistent as he goes. Sure, 75 is a stupid long time to coach and I thoroughly doubt that Self will coach that long. But he on Coach K's pace is all, with no signs of slowing down whatsoever.BasketballJayhawk wrote: ↑Wed Feb 15, 2023 11:15 amIt's not a hate thing.
