Great Reg season coach... 13x big 12 champ

Postseason... Meh....
Only 1 for 7 getting his 1 seed to the FF isn't good
Then 4 tourneys they underachieved


They were very lucky Memphis choked 9 pt lead with 2:10 to play..... Otherwise, no Self title in 14 years.

Brooks, Dorsey, Bell...

68.9% eFG, 23 Rebounds, 9 assists, 8 block shots.

Clown show on Frank Josh and Landon

Ku didn't even shoot 40% eFG.
They were tied 16-16. Then got Outscored 45-31 the next 21minutes.
The headlight breaker, the expired tag maker, and the kick my GF in face sucker...Were a combined 5-23 FG. That's Jackson, Graham, Vick for you out of the loop peeps
They scored 64 pts in 22 minutes vs Purdue. Only hit 60 in 40 full minutes tonight

I've debunked these sorts of narratives before, and the way to analyze NCAA Tournament performance is to use Performance Against Seed Expectation. How has Self done? As a Kansas coach, he's been expected to win 37.4 games and has won 33. If we throw in his other coaching stops he's been expected to win 45.3 games and has won 43. In other words, he's won ever so slightly fewer games than expected against some extraordinarily good seeds. In 14 seasons he's had a 1 seed seven times and has never been below a 4 seed. That is remarkable.

So don't fall for these sorts of dumb narratives about coaches. The reason Self's tournament losses are always upsets is because he's always favored. The coach who has the most losses in upsets, or who loses the most in late NCAA Tournament rounds, is by definition a fantastic coach. You've got to get to those games to lose them.

I don't know, ku fans spent all season pointing out how they're the only school to win 13 conference titles in a row besides UCLA. It's only fair that we let them do that, but also compare their NCAA tournament records in those 13 seasons.

UCLA 1967-79 vs KU 2005-17

NCAA titles
UCLA: 8
KU: 1

Final Four
UCLA: 10
KU: 2

Elite 8
UCLA: 11
KU: 6

Between all the KU fans who want Self fired.  Between all the fans who conjure up unbelievable excuses as to why they can't get it done with every possible advantage . . . combined with their Baylor Lite mentality. 

It really is hard to TSC. #frown

It is remarkable that difference, though I would like to point out that UCLA was in a tourny with anywhere between 22 to 40 teams during it's run. Not saying that the lesser amount of teams/rounds is the major reason why UCLA got so many titles and FF (if it did, then why did no other team even come close to that, including the mighty squacks), but there needs to be a slight handicapped added to it.

Expansion of field:
1953–1974: varied between 22 and 25 teams
1975–1978: 32 teams
1979: 40 teams

Yeah those stats that Fan posted last year or the year before showing a clear bias are bullshit too.

Because nothing says everything is on the level like the most highly rated basketball conference (or top 3) consistently having only one team that can protect home court for over a DECADE.

I actually left out the 07 team. They were also a 1 seed. So he's had a 1 seed 7x at Ku ( I made changes above)

Incredible run being a 1 or 2 seed 10 of the last 11 seasons.  But the 2 FFs have Ku fans angered, and it probably should

I know Ku would rather have 31 wins, 3 FF and 2 titles. That's what Coach K did
Calhoun also had 3 FF and 2 titles, and he did that from 04' til his retirement following 12' season

Losing in the E8 means you got to the E8 a lot and played good teams.  No shame in that.  The shame is letting your team get away with that level of criminal activity and not having anything to show for it.

Is there any team with a worse 1 seed to FF ratio? Anybody even close?

Fabulous recruiting, good coaching, and a little help from the refs here and there (success breeds success) has built a dynasty in the B12, but it doesn't translate to winning 5 or 6 straight against good non-con teams and refs who DNGAF about "Kansas" on the jersey come tourney time.

If you're a KU fan, do you really care? You may be the poorest billionaire but that pretty much says it all.

Self is still an elite coach at 43-18 in the tournament during his career.

And our guy oscar is 30th on the list at 12-11.

On the all time list (not including this year) including coaches with at least 20 NCAA games, Self is #11.

Yes

Self is a good coach.  But you have to call out that performance Saturday.   They had 3 warm up games, were barely pushed in all of them, they had the best home court advantage in the tourney playing in an extremely friendly and familiar venue.

For KU and their so called depth issues the B12 and NCAA tourney couldn't have been a better scenario for making the FF.

Let's hope the spoiled children of KU tshirt nation continue to whine and Bill decides to move on.

Yeah.

Back to KU; they had 3 of their best 5 offensive efficiency games of the year in the first 3 games of the tournament. Then they came crashing down to their worst efficiency game of the year vs Oregon. It happens.

So you're saying ku is lower upper class?

I'd say "lowest of the upperest upper class"

Here's some fun with numbers:

Since the modern tournament began in 1985, KU is tied with Kentucky for the third most Final Four appearances at 8. Duke has 12. North Carolina has 11.

KU is also tied with North Carolina for most 1-seeds received in the modern tournament (13).

But of all the teams to receive a 1-seed at least 5 times, KU hasn't fared so well in reaching the Final Four. That would be North Carolina (9-13), Michigan State (3-5), Duke (6-12), Kentucky (5-10), UConn (2-5), Kansas (3-13), Oklahoma (1-5), and Arizona (1-6). Bill Seff's record is 1-7!

So congrats KU, overall you've amassed a lot of Final Four appearances, but you also choke a lot more often than the other elite teams, but not as bad as Arizona (holy crap - 1 for 6 ?!), except that Bill Seff's record alone is even worse than Arizona.

Looking at KU and Oklahoma, it kinda looks like the B12 conference champ is quite frequently over-seeded...

off the top of my head I would say there are only a few times Self was beat by a less talented team - The killer Bs for sure, VCU, UNI and Stanford.  The rest of the time the other team has at least as much talent and usually a real pro that will actually be important players in the NBA and not jags like X Henry, Robinson and Aldrich, etc.  So I would consider recruiting to the primary thing letting Bill down.

Self 14
Coach K 13
Roy 11
Cal 10
Pitino 9
Izzo 5

Times your team lost 2 rounds early (top 4 seed), according to seed --
Self - 6 times in the 14 years
Coach K - 7 times in 13 years
Roy - 0 times in 11 years
Cal  - 0 times in 10 years
Pitino - 2 times in 9 years
Izzo - 2 times in 5 years

Times your team advanced to what your seed indicated (or advanced farther)
Self - 4 times in 14 years
Coach K - 5 times in 13 years
Roy - 8 times in 11 years
Cal - 6 times in 10 years
Pitino- 6 times in 9 years
Izzo - 3 times in 5 years

These numbers basically just firm up the perception that KU is often overseeded due to their stranglehold on the Big12. Would more even-handed officiating at Allen help prepare KU to be more competitive in the tournament? Science says yes.

KU gets what they deserve. Nothing more. Nothing less. They clutch onto old ass dudes like Phog Allen and Naismith, build shrines to them, and claim helms titles. Even with Helms titles they only have one more title than UConn has in the past 20 years. They own the big 12 and not much else.

I do however love the monk like rock chalk jayhawk chant to close out games.

They have a solid program. They are a perennial top 10 team.

Sidenote: I dont understand why people on here say lawrentucky. Lexington and Louisville are so far beyond Lawrence it's not even funny.

Update:
14 Top 4 seeds at Ku. Wins from S16 and on....12

11 Top 4 seeds at UNC. Wins from S16 and on ...20

Roy vs Self.  Not really a comparison now is it.
Roy is now 25-8 in S16/E8/F4/NC games since 2002. Great Tourney coach.

Roy is one of the all time greats.  I can't believe how many times he choked at KU. Maybe its the school not the coach.

I hope my post wasn't confusing.  That is Self at Ku/Roy at UNC. But Roy did have his struggles at Ku too. 4 times as a 1 seed that lost in RD of 32 or S16, plus lost as a 2 in 2nd Round. 

Roy 9 FFs in last 27 years. Coach K 12 FFs in last 32 years. Studs!!

Just amazing what Roy has done since leaving KU.  5 Final Fours and 3 National Championships.  Was KU holding him back?

I think you can now say that Roy is one of the top 5 coaches of all time.

I'd go Wooden, K, Rupp, Roy, Knight.

But all those recruiting advantages! Being so close to a mid-major city like KC that no one really wants to make the 30 minute drive to any of the fun stuff! The Phog! Dat Setting :love: It has nothing to do with coaching at all! Nevermind in '88 K-State was arguably a better program and it came crashing down cause heyseeds!

Who cares about National Championships and Final Fours when you can have a higher winning percentage.   :love:

They made too many klutzsy turnovers in the last game and had too many clankers.  The Ku Klutz Klankers.

Ku klutz klankers vs the clankmigos would be a hell of a game
