Mark your calendars, because you don't see this very often. For just the third time in his coaching career dating back to 1993, Bill Self was ejected from a college basketball game during Tuesday’s contest between his No. 14 Kansas program and unranked Arizona State. Self vehemently disagreed with a foul call assessed to Jayhawks star freshman Darryn Peterson with 6:07 remaining in the first half.
Kansas guard Melvin Council Jr. had the ball at the top of the key as Peterson, with Arizona State guard Bryce Ford practically giving him a bear hug, headed to the paint as he looked to come off a ball screen, perhaps for a perimeter jumper. Only, Peterson simply couldn’t get free to move off of Ford’s grasp. The Jayhawks and Sun Devils players ran toward the perimeter in a tangled mess of arms, and it was Peterson who was whistled for a foul, to the chagrin of Self.
