Wait..are you kidding? This coming from the man that complains constantly about Bill Self. The guy who has won a NC and been to the final four. Compared to 99% of the other coaches, the guy is incredible.

I wish our basketball team was good :(

Great Lavin back to the booth, great announcer. :D

KU is very good. ~12th or so in the nation out of 351 teams. They're just not a contender this year. The run Cal is on is pretty remarkable right now but they're about to take a major hit in the NBA draft.

Pitino 12-1 in sweet 16s, izzo in another FF (despite having a team so pedestrian they lost to us this year) and K now 12-2 in Elite 8 games.

Poor bill self. It's all just a crapshoot

I fully believe it's selfs system, he doesn't need the one and dones because they're not good for his system. He needs to recognize guys who are a good fit that are still highly ranked and go for them or what I wish he would do is change is offense.

His offense is fine. He just needs the right guys for it. Didn't have that this year. But I'm with you -- if you don't have those guys, you have to change the offense.

KU is good every single year.


You just got to stop expecting elite.

25+ wins each year
competing for a conference regular season championship every year
solid in the conference tourney each year
top 15 team ranked each year
makes the ncaa tourney each year
National profile basketball school

Be happy with Marty Shott .... Bill Self, things could be much,much worse.

his offense is stank ass

at least the way he runs it

Self is too predictable in just about everything he does.

Predictability allows teams with less talent to "aim" what talent they do have at a stationary target and have the best chance for an upset.

Predictability is Selfs greatest weakness and greatest strength, paradox of life.

Mellinger wrote a good article about it dunno if it was posted here.

Yes, this was a down year, but if this is a down year, I'd be pretty damn happy with that. Also talked about how they were expecting embiid to be dominant this year, but it happened faster than anticipated and with cliff doing what he did or didn't do, thongs just didn't work out.

Bill has also not been at Ku the length of time those guys have been where they've been, but his tourney record has been pretty solid.

Not sure I get that comparison. Maybe Bobby Cox. Or Tony Dungy.

It's Laz

I have little doubt that we're going to look back at this Ellis/Selden era as a pretty dark period in KU basketball. I'm grateful, though, that this (27 wins, B12 title, #2 seed, R32 exit) is pretty much as bad as it gets under Self. It could definitely be so much worse (and it is for basically every other coach at this level).
