Bill Self Sucks.

Said it before.

Needed said again.

No bet on that game for me today but classic job of Self getting outcoached again.

KU had a prime opportunity in front of them too with Cuse out of their way and Self stumbles again.

i agree 100%--he's one of the worst tourney coaches out there--yes he won a title a few years back, but other than that he's been ABSOLUTELY horrible as a tourney coach...i'll have to remember that again for next year when Kansas comes in as a 1 or 2 seed and doesn't cover spreads. Lost a couple of bigger bets with Kansas today

 

[doogieboy]

I was thinking same earlier in the game. Apparently he could not emphasize to them enough how to keep going inside...ALL DAY LONG!!
Stan completely kept them out of their game.

 

[StevieRay]

No excuse for them to lose that game

Classic choke job by KU.

They finish the tourney 0-2 ATS and a good fade.

Self has taken 3 different teams to the Elite 8, and won a national title. The top pick in the draft didn't play.....that may have something to do with his coaching.

Completely agree. Completely different team with Embeed.

Not covering spreads and losing your bet doesn't mean the guy can't coach. I am far from a KU fan, but the guy is a very good coach and runs a model program.

 

[Willie99]

I have mixed feelings about him, but mostly positive

his teams tend to play solid D and I've seen him make some great in game adjustments (UNC a couple of years ago)

but then he has these mysterious tourny busts too, a few too many IMHO

at the end of the day, I still think Self is one of the best in the country

fair--3 teams to Elite 8

I get that and that's good for him...but I wonder how many of those teams were supposed (and yeah...there's no guarantee) to be final 4/national title contenders?

not trying to be a jerk or anything just wondering

 

[ThaDude]

As an Illini fan, I would welcome him back with open arms.

Coach K needs one of these threads too!

His program is always highly rated, just like a lot of teams. Lots of good teams don't advance past the first weekend every year.

Is Coach K a bad coach?? He's lost in the first rd twice in 5 years.

 

[ThePsychic]

Coach K hasn't just lost twice in rd 1 2 of the last 3 years, his teams have CHOKED badly to what? A 13 & 14 seed? If you wanna live in the past than yeah, he's great. If you wanna live in the here and now, his teams CHOKE!

 

[ThePsychic]

I'm sorry, a 14 & 15 seed in 2 of the last 3 years.
