LAWRENCE, Kan. — Kansas men's basketball head coach Bill Self added to his legacy with the Jayhawks on Friday with his team’s 92-89 win against No. 10 North Carolina.
Self now has 590 career victories with the Jayhawks, tying him with Phog Allen, who coached the Jayhawks for more than 30 seasons, as the program’s all-time winningest head coach.
Self addressed the possibility Thursday with reporters ahead of the game. Much of what he had to say, though, ended up being praise for what Allen accomplished years ago at Kansas.
Self, who acknowledged the significance, referred to Allen as the best coach in program history and added that no matter what happens he will always have that opinion. Self explained that the advantages he’s been able to have at Kansas are here because of what Allen built.
Of course, Self also praised the players and coaches who’ve been with him over the years. From his perspective, reaching this point just shows he’s been around for a long time.
