Kansas' Bill Self on lifetime deal: Excited to finish career here (ESPN)

"Not only the back nine, but I'm on the back, you know, three or four," Self said. "But that's OK. You know, I've been a head coach now for 31 years. And 23 of them have been in the fastlane, OK? I don't even count Tulsa as the fastline, or Oral Roberts, but Illinois and Kansas? That's the fastlane. I mean, you're competing against the big boys daily.

"So you know, could I do it for another 23 years now, or would I want to? No," he continued. "But I could do it for several more, absolutely. I don't have a timeframe on when the end is, but I say closer to two thirds of the way (through his career)."

According to the numbers stated in the article, i.e. that HCBS has been coaching for 31 years and he says he's closer to 2/3 of the way through his career...doing some quick math tells me that he might have another 15 years in left...which I think any of us fans would happy with.
