Six 1 seeds say far more about his coaching ability than the number of final fours
KU is right on par with Notre Dame ... when it comes to adding additional conference revenue
Beer pro tip: never drink anything other than BL, coors, pbr, maybe a few others that I'm forgetting

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 2005-17NCAA titlesUCLA: 8KU: 1Final FourUCLA: 10KU: 2Elite 8UCLA: 11KU: 6

The coaches above him are coaches at schools above KU.
Name the coaches and teams with more tournament wins than KU and bill self since his first NCAA appearance with KU in 2004
