The only coaching link I'm interested in is the styles of play... I like both of them, but I'd love to see Self's style and balance beat Roy's style. It's not really even about making sure we got the better deal.
I'm convinced that this Kansas team is tougher and knows how to win any game... up and down, defensive, when they aren't play well, etc... and we all questioned that about Roy's teams. So, after slugging it out with Davidson, I'd love to turn around and win a 90-86 (no more last second shots
) up-and-down game.

You don't end a long-term relationship over the phone.
I don't begrudge him for leaving, but the manner in which he left demonstrated that his "awe-shucks" attitude was little more than a facade. Worse yet, until these events, I believed it.

I agree with your first paragraph, but I think it's because of his awe-shucks attitude that he did it. I think it's much easier to believe he handled it the way he did because he sincerely loves KU, but just didn't have the guts/personality to handle it better; than to think he was actually just an asshole all these years.
It wasn't a "FU Kansas", it was Roy not being able to deal with his own emotions. JMHO.
