LAWRENCE, Kan. — Bill Self walked into a media room inside Allen Fieldhouse, scanned a few rows of onlookers and then took a seat behind a single microphone.
“Well, this goes without saying,” he said, as though he planned to immediately jump to the reason we sat there, waiting, “but to get this many media people here in one room, there has to be a free lunch. That’d be the only way.”
The truth is we listened for the next 35 minutes, the first time Self has spoken with the media since a heart catheterization forced him to miss Kansas’ postseason, anticipating to learn more about what he would classify as a “health scare.”
