KC Star - Bedore: Kansas Jayhawks’ coach Bill Self attends Bob Huggins’ Fish Fry fundraiser in West Virginia
EXCERPT
Kansas men’s basketball coach Bill Self departed KU’s team headquarters — the Marriott at Waterfront Place Hotel in downtown Morgantown — with some KU athletic department officials about 7:30 p.m., Friday night, to lend support to West Virginia coach Bob Huggins and Huggins’ favorite charity. Self — whose Jayhawks will meet Huggins’ West Virginia Mountaineers at 7 p.m., Central time, Saturday, at WVU Coliseum in a battle between the league’s first- and last-place teams — attended the 10th-annual Bob Huggins Fish Fry at Mylan Park fundraiser, which benefits the Norma Mae Huggins Cancer Endowment Fund at the WVU Cancer Institute and the Remember the Miners Flagship Scholars program. Tickets for the fundraiser were $150 per person, with students contributing $75 per person. A pay-per-view stream of the event also was available Friday.

When a reporter joked that Huggins should “feed him (Self) some bad tartar sauce,” Huggins said: “Bill’s a good guy. He really is a good guy. Bill will find a liquid libation he likes. “Nah, I called him about doing it and he was great,” Huggins added in a serious tone. “He was great. We’re going to go pick him up (and bring him to event). Portnoy (Dave, host of Fish Fry and owner of Barstool Sports) is going to be there. We’re going to have fun. It’s going to be a fun night.” According to Anjelica Trinone of GoldAndBlueNation.com, Self was brought on stage to take part in a discussion with Huggins and Portnoy. “I was tired of watching WVU foul on tape so I came here,” 19th-year KU coach Self said to laughter from the audience. Huggins responded: “Well you know, I never knew you could guard people out of bounds before I started playing Kansas.”
They passed the $2M goal for the evening.

My dad is Dave Portnoy...but not the Dave Portnoy mentioned in the article.
Good story all around though and some good-natured ribbing by each of the coaches.
