It is not a pattern. Has it happened before? Yes. But shit happens sometimes.
Self is the least of the worries, and the clown suit he put on the other top coaches in the FF in '08 firmly established him as an elite coach.
I'm sure there's room for improvement--that's human nature, but...

Here's what bothers me: Not playing to the seed.
If they were a 7 seed and lost to a 12 or a 13 or whatever, that's fine. But Self hasn't played to his seed in three out of seven tournaments.
When you're the number one seed overall, meaning you're the best team in the nation, then you shouldn't lose to teams like UNI.
Once KU was down by 8 to begin the game, he should have called a timeout, collected himself and team and changed the strategy. Allowing them to get down by so much is what killed them in the end.
It was a poor coaching performance and it's certainly not the first time it's happened in the NCAA's.
