@DeLaS1993 @BackThenSports You’re exposing yourself. That WSU team was great. Kentucky was grossly underseeded. There’s a reason Kentucky made it to the championship as an 8 seed.

@BackThenSports It’s infuriating to think that Wichita got a 1-seed. I couldn’t even tell you what conference they play in. But the committee had a sense of humor, and saddled them with a super talented but underachieving 8-seed

March 23rd, 2014: 8-Seed Kentucky upsets undefeated 1-Seed Wichita State to advance to the Sweet 16 #BBN

@AndrewWert45131 @RoyalsPlsWin If they’re not willing to throw $8+ million at any of those coaches then @tgoff11 is not serious and KU bball is about to take a gigantic step backward. I would also be cool with Jai Lucas who is more affordable but I guarantee 99% of the fan base has no idea who that even is.
English
@SFFiddler @RoyalsPlsWin They aiming for the 5 to 7 million range tops. You need a new list.
English
@PhoggyFresh He’s still gonna run high ball screens with his non shooting center as the screener that result in absolutely nothing 😭
English
Got an idea: Every fan, every former player gets behind Self for one last season. Celebrate our best coach in history. Open the purse and let him get whatever roster he wants. And we all send him out in style with an ending he deserves.

Bill Self on his future: "I'll get back, get with family, visit and see what's going on. I love what I do. I need to be able to do it where I'm feeling good and healthy to do it fairly well... I'll get back home, and it'll all be discussed... I love what I do. I wanna feel good while I'm doing it, though"
English
@IfYouAintADawg Health wasn’t the reason they couldn’t inbound the ball against press yesterday and why they gave up offensive rebounds all season long.
English
I full heartedly believe that if KU is healthy all year we go to the final 4. So many more games with DP would help everyone mesh together and play as a cohesive unit as compared to bill having to run 2 different teams based on if DP is playin or not.

Kansas had the 9th-most expensive roster in college basketball this season with $9.5 million in NIL 😳 They didn't make the Sweet 16.
English
@RockChalkMoFo His teammates fucking suck and his coach was incapable of scheming up any sort of offensive that resulted in open looks. He did lack an alpha mentality though I would’ve liked to see him take 20+ shots a game even if they were contested.
English
DP is not:
Impactful
A leader
Clutch
A dawg
A high % shooter
Shot creator
Rim attacker
A top 3 pick
*granted he probably never wanted to go the college route
English
@Bathan_Nurgess @maxmerrima94645 @RockChalkBlog I know DP is gone you’re the retard that suggested McCollum wouldn’t appeal to him. You’re equating total basketball experience at any level to being a good D1 coach. You’re so dumb I can’t even argue with you because everything goes over your head. Please stop replying.
English
@SFFiddler @maxmerrima94645 @RockChalkBlog Forgive me for assuming you’d be able to comprehend that comparing McCollum & Vaughn’s hoops resume is comical. Also forgive me for assuming you knew a resume is what an employer uses to hire an employee. Enjoy your offseason hopes of more DP & McCollum. Check back next year 😂😂
English
I mean seriously if you're UNC how are you not on the phone with Ben McCollum's agent right now? Like, right this second?
English
@Bathan_Nurgess @maxmerrima94645 @RockChalkBlog you’re just listing Vaughn’s resume. None of that translates to being a good D1 head coach today. In fact, he was an awful NBA head coach. McCollum already is a great college coach plus he’s 7 years younger.
English
@SFFiddler @maxmerrima94645 @RockChalkBlog I did? 2 time all American playing at KU, and over a decade long career w/ a Finals ring in the NBA as a player. Then immediately gets hired by Pop & coaches over a decade in the NBA….never had a HC opportunity in cbball, yet McCollum & his 4 D2 titles is the one w/ the resume
English
@shre98 McDowell is playing at Washburn if Bill doesn’t offer him a scholarship ofc he’s backing him
English
“Well, you can’t take nothing from him,” McDowell said. “He’s been doing this s— longer than I’ve been alive. The people that sit around and have time to sit on the internet and talk about stuff they have no idea about probably should get a job." #kubball

@Bathan_Nurgess @maxmerrima94645 @RockChalkBlog I provided a mountain of evidence against hiring Vaughn and then even more supporting hiring McCollum. You did none of either. In terms of ball knowledge, you’re inept. Good day.
English
@SFFiddler @maxmerrima94645 @RockChalkBlog Forgive me. I forgot to put the 😂😂😂😂 emojis after that DP statement. 48 y/o averaging 3 pts & 6 reb every Sunday at the local YMCA over here talking ball knowledge
English
@RockChalk981 @CoachRexWalters Kansas is taking the Iowa coach bruh 😭
English
KU Fans better pray that Bill Self can get healthy, feels good about next year and is excited about what he can bring in with the right amount of money. U are not finding a better coach and recruiter that will leave where he is at for KU. Just saying.
English
@Bathan_Nurgess @maxmerrima94645 @RockChalkBlog You just suggested Ben McCollum wouldn’t appeal to the likes of DP two tweets ago. My god you’re drunk or retarded
English
@SFFiddler @maxmerrima94645 @RockChalkBlog Former D2 player that’s going to be a late lotto-mid 1st rounder. Tell me you’re over the age of 50 w/o telling me so…Ben McCollum & DP back for a soph season. Is it your wife that tells you how great you “ball knowledge” is?
English
@Bathan_Nurgess @maxmerrima94645 @RockChalkBlog Golden is a pedo dude and he just got bounced by McCollum with a significantly inferior roster. You’re insanely slow man I’m losing brain cells arguing with you. Sure take a swing at May/Lloyd but they’re not leaving Michigan or Zona. McCollum would leave Iowa for KU.
English
@SFFiddler @maxmerrima94645 @RockChalkBlog Are you new to being a Kansas basketball fan? Honestly, since when should KU consider settling for a coach w/ 2 years of D1 experience cuz he’s won 3 tourney games? If it’s not a guy from the NBA (ex: Vaughn), it needs to be a Todd Golden. WE ARE THE ELITE!!
English
@Bathan_Nurgess @maxmerrima94645 @RockChalkBlog McCollum just beat the defending champion 1 seed Florida Gators with a former D2 player as his starting PG. I don’t give a shit if he has a 5 star freshman or not. You’re also implying DP isn’t for sure gone which proves you have zero ball knowledge and that I’m wasting my time.
English
@maxmerrima94645 @SFFiddler @RockChalkBlog Whether bill deserves one more ride isn’t even a discussion. It’s whether his health will allow it to even be a possibility. Iowa ranks dead last in pace in D1…imagine pitching that to the likes of DP, Tay Kinney & Tyrann Stokes 😂😂
English
@Bathan_Nurgess @maxmerrima94645 @RockChalkBlog He won 4 nattys at D2 and in his 2 years at D1 he made the tourney at Drake with 31 wins and got Iowa its first Sweet 16 since the 90s and not done. He wins immediately bc he’s a proven great coach. You’re arguing for someone who has zero experience in the role much less success
English
@SFFiddler @maxmerrima94645 @RockChalkBlog You realize you’re trying to argue coaching resumes about a guy thats coached D1 basketball for 2 years, right?
English
@maxmerrima94645 @Bathan_Nurgess @RockChalkBlog Indiana, UNC, Kentucky, Syracuse all went former player/internal hire and they all took massive steps back. Duke is the lone outlier and that’s because for whatever reason they always have the top recruiting class and one of the biggest NILs. I think Scheyer is just a okay coach.
English
@SFFiddler @Bathan_Nurgess @RockChalkBlog Well Duke is doing good. UNC not so much but he did go to a natty. UK isn't great. UCLA went transplant. UConn went transplant.
English
@Bathan_Nurgess @maxmerrima94645 @RockChalkBlog Not a single thing you mentioned suggests Vaughn would a good college head coach. He was an abysmal NBA head coach as well. McCollum has done nothing but prove he’s a phenomenal coach. Go look at other blue bloods that hired internally and tell me how they’re doing right now.
English
@SFFiddler @maxmerrima94645 @RockChalkBlog Right. A 2 time all American PG while playing at KU, who went on to play over a decade in the NBA, won an NBA finals, then joined Gregg Popovich’s staff on the spurs before becoming a head coach in the NBA, over McCollum would be ludicrous.
English
@kingdom_royals Bill Self becoming washed wasn’t due to NIL. He can’t scheme offense in 2026. You’re gonna see Ben McCollum run circles around CBB in 1-2 years boss as the next KUMBB head coach
English
Greatest thing NIL ever did was expose this program

English
@maxmerrima94645 @RockChalkBlog I mean I would definitely be very happy with Lloyd or May. However I feel the jump from Iowa to Kansas is fa more realistic to take than from Zona or Michigan. I think any of those 3 coaches would excel at KU
English
@SFFiddler @RockChalkBlog Definitely other candidates that I feel are more prepared for the job. I wouldn't say im on board with Jacque Vaughn. I have seen that play out at other places. But definitely some other guys I would want above McCollum right now.
English
@Bathan_Nurgess @maxmerrima94645 @RockChalkBlog If you think Vaughn would be a better hire than McCollum you should never contribute to bball discourse ever again
English
@maxmerrima94645 @RockChalkBlog He said UNC? If KU hired McCollum over Vaughn, thatd be absurd
