In addition to everything else we know about our sterling coach, consider this stat/comment the announcers just made in the Michigan State-Purdue game:
Of the numerous games KU has played under Self in which the Jayhawks and their opponent were both ranked in the top 5, Self's KU teams have won 90% of the games.
Self is the Maestro. And he's our Maestro!
“With kindest regards to Dr. Forrest C. Allen, the father of basketball coaching, from the father of the game.”
