Kansas coach, Bill Self, “has seriously considered” to take the post of Oklahoma State during the past off -season, according to The Tulsa World’s Berry Tramel. Self is a native of Oklahoma who played for the cowboys in the 1980s and then worked as assistant there before occupying his first two trainer stations in the state at Oral Roberts and Tulsa.
The cowboys were looking for a replacement for the licensed coach Mike Boynton and finally settled on Steve Lutz in western Kentucky after self-opposed to stay with the Jayhawks. However, the hiring of Lutz only intervened after Oklahoma State has put a “difficult sale” on oneself.
“Several cowboy sources said that the OSU had swing on self, and that cowboy decision-makers were more and more confident that self was impressed by the organization of the plan that his Alma Mater had had Produced and was intrigued by the package, with a competitive salary and budget to pay players of this new professional era of university basketball, “said the report.
The sale argument to go home for Self, a double national champion in Kansas, may have registered so well due to the situation of Self in Ku. The Jayhawks lost in the second round of the NCAA tournament for the second consecutive season last season, and their domination Big 12 decreased with the addition of Houston to the conference.
Although the self-opposed stay in Ku, the 2024-25 season, did not provide any suspended difficulties from last season. The Jayhawks, classified n ° 1 in pre-season, are 17-9 (8-7 Big 12) entering the home match on Saturday against … Oklahoma State (13-13, 5-10).
