Overview
- Following Sunday’s 67-65 second-round loss to St. John’s, Bill Self said he has not decided about coaching next season and will consult his family.
- Self said his choice will be based on his health, citing multiple heart procedures since 2023 and a January hospital visit.
- He said he feels better than he has in a long time but not completely healthy and now views his career in shorter two-year spans.
- Kansas has exited in the first or second round four straight seasons since winning the 2022 national title, increasing scrutiny of the program’s direction.
- Speculation intensified Monday as ESPN’s Jeff Borzello and Pete Thamel said he may be leaning toward retirement, though no decision is announced as Kansas enters a key four-to-six-week recruiting window.
