Coach Bill Self doesn't travel with No. 19 Kansas after going to the hospital,
school says
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) --- Kansas coach Bill Self did not accompany the Jayhawks
to Boulder for their game Tuesday night at Colorado after being taken to a
hospital in Lawrence on Monday, the school said.
Kansas' athletic department said in a statement that Self was feeling under the
weather and went to the hospital out of an abundance of caution. Self felt
better after receiving IV fluids, the school said.
It was not immediately clear if Self would attempt to travel for the game or if
an assistant would run the bench for the 19th-ranked Jayhawks.
Self, 63, missed the Big 12 and NCAA tournaments in 2023 because of a heart
condition, getting a standard catheterization and having two stents inserted to
help treat blocked arteries. He had two more stents inserted in July.
Now in his 23rd season, Self led Kansas to national titles in 2008 and 2022 and
is the program's career wins leader with a 609-156 record. Inducted into the
Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2017, the former Oklahoma State
player also coached at Oral Roberts, Tulsa and Illinois.
