henson. lou henson. also, no. no self was not better in the couple of years he was there than henson was. gill, anderson, bardo? eff me. the guy averaged over twenty wins during a twenty year coaching period while at illinois. jesus christ and you can't even get his name right.
Dude it was auto corrected on my phone and I missed it, rough ridin' chill. You don't think I know who Lou Henson is? Get rough ridin' real man. I have the program from his final four. Speaking of which, after his final four he won 1 tournament game his last 7 years including missing the tournament altogether in that time frame.
how would i know what you know and what you don't? i'm not a mind reader and i certainly didn't program code on whatever auto corrected "henson" to "benson".
that aside, henson also averaged over twenty wins over twenty years at that school, meanwhile bill self inherited a lon kruger team full of future nbaers and then promptly went to an elite 8, a sweet 16 and then the second round exit in the ncaa tournament. i would hardly call not making a final four and finishing worse every single year he was there "amazing". maybe your phone autocorrect "pretty good" to "amazing" though. 
Self would have won a title there within 5 years.
lol. what?
I feel like you're trying to be contentious. We can all agree that Self is 5 times the coach oscar Weber is right? In what would have been years 4 and 5 for Self at Illinois Weber won 3 Big 10 titles went to a sweet 16 and a championship game. Is it that much of a stretch to argue that Self would have won 1 more game with a program he built?
Maybe I'm missing what you're getting at here, help me if so.
I think that you are trying to build up what self did at Illinois way, way more than you should be to try to make some point.
it's a pretty good program with coaches that had better seasons both before self was there and after he left yet. self was there for three years, did fine and moved on, yet you want me to believe that the job he did was amazing and that he would have won a national championship within five if he would've stayed. I don't think it was and I would bet a good chunk of money that he wouldn't have.
let me ask you this...yes or no, will bill self win a national title in the next two years at Ku?
