Kansas basketball coach Bill Self has no plans of retiring anytime soon

LAWRENCE, Kan. — Kansas men’s basketball coach Bill Self, who underwent a heart catheterization procedure on March 8 at Kansas Health System — a health “scare” that prevented him from coaching in the 2023 postseason — said emphatically on Wednesday he has zero plans of ending his Hall of Fame career anytime soon.

The 60-year-old Self — he has completed 20 seasons at KU — squashed any and all rumors of possible retirement at a late morning news conference at Allen Fieldhouse.

“Unless my athletic director or my chancellor makes the decision to contradict that, I am 100 percent positive I will be coaching at the University of Kansas this upcoming season and hopefully many more after that,” Self said.
