Self's biggest shortcoming, IMO, is his reticence to press. Kansas is the best pressing team I've seen since Pitino's Kentucky teams. It's a difficult balance, because elite players don't want to play really hard, exhausting defense, but every time they press it brings their single best asset (superior athleticism) to bear. I wouldn't run 40 Minutes of Bull****, but a couple of five minute segments of pressing per half could really grind down an opposing team.
