KU Men's Basketball Coaches from 1964 on, all 4 in one pictiure.

1964-1983 Ted Owens
1983-1988 Larry Brown
1988-2003 Roy Williams
2003-present Bill Self

These four coaches cover seven decades ('60s, '70s, '80s, 90's, 2000s, 2010s, 2020s) of KUMBB history!

I will go to my grave believing that DotDok&Co would have won it all -- and Bill's second NC -- if the NCAA Tournament had not been cancelled in 2020.

And I still believe that team should have a banner in The Phog honoring its achievements.
