Kansas Jayhawks Win NCAA Title, Keep Coach

Shortly after the Kansas Jayhawks won the Men’s Division I NCAA Basketball Tournament, coach Bill Self was getting bombarded by job offers from colleges like Oklahoma State. Well, today Self announced he has no intention of leaving Kansas and he’s not sure why anybody thought he’d leave in the first place.
“I don’t know what the big deal is, to be honest,” Self said at a news conference earlier today. “These last three weeks, four weeks, have been an absolute whirlwind. I don’t know if a guy deserves to have as much fun as I’ve had.”
Although the oddsmakers favored the Memphis Tigers to win the national title, it was the Kansas Jayhawks who dug down deep to rally from a nine-point deficit late in the second half to defeat Memphis 75-68 in overtime. This was the first NCAA title win for former Illinois coach Bill Self, who left the Illini job five years ago to take the head coaching position at Kansas.
