What a photo. What a design. What a game. What a team. #LocalJournalism #Newspapers

The Hutchinson Collegian@HCC_Collegian

Our championship edition is here! We will have them in main campus buildings by Monday and we'll have some at the Tuesday celebration as well.

@180_NoScope @HowiesTakeLULZ It’s not always black and white but sometimes it’s about finding the right fit in the portal era, like Council. Dickinson was a fine player but bad for the team. Just didn’t have the guard play.

English

Gary Plauché@180_NoScope·7h

@bhallier @HowiesTakeLULZ It is but we also lost McCullar at the end of that season. And then we chased away Ejiofor then Philon through absolute trash transfers yet everyone who transfers seems to thrive elsewhere. Thoughts?

Sweet mother of Zechariah. Now we’re questioning Bill Self because one of his players had a great March en route to a national championship?

Andrew Joseph@AndyJ0seph

Where would Bill Self's legacy be without Remy Martin?

@ajsteventon @mattpercy15 I thought we were talking natties?

English

ajsteventon@ajsteventon·7h

@bhallier @mattpercy15 KU just lost in the first weekend for the 4th year in a row. Your trivia doesn’t change that

English

Brad Hallier@bhallier·12h

I don’t mean this lightly, but for anyone who wants Bill Self to retire? Fuck off.

@kucr8ton Absolutely 100%. Look at the 07-08 noncon.

English

Creighton Coover@kucr8ton·10h

My biggest takeway from this year is that we need to lighten up our non-con schedule quite a bit. It really does us no good to play such a tough non-con schedule when the Big XII is as good as it is. The benefits no longer outweigh the negatives of a tough non-con. #KUbball

@Vtakes4 I’d say it’s more management than coaching but yeah the lack of shooters has been puzzling.

English

Vik@Vtakes4·8h

@bhallier A lot of that is on bill though. Surrounded dp with no shooters. Tiller was forced into a huge role in his frosh year because we had no 4. And as you said Mbiya and Kohl were good today. But they literally didn’t play all season - that’s coaching.

English

Brad Hallier@bhallier·11h

Too many people blaming Self, who does deserve some blame. Bottom line is too many players were awful today. White and Tiller were useless, Melvin had effort but 5 turnovers, Elmarko was Elmarko. Peterson, Rosario and Mbiya were the good ones today.

English

Brad Hallier@bhallier·8h

@ajsteventon @mattpercy15 16 coaches have won multiple natties. Since John Wooden, it’s 10 - Coach K, Roy Williams, Jim Calhoun, Bobby Knight, Denny Crum, Billy Donovan, Dan Hurley, Dean Smith and Jay Wright. Of those, only K, Roy, Calhoun, Knight, Dean and Self won titles past a 6 year window

ajsteventon@ajsteventon·8h

@mattpercy15 @bhallier Bill isn’t the only coach who has won two nattys. He’s not even the most recent coach to do it

English

Brad Hallier@bhallier·8h

@kutweetsandnews Golden? Absolutely not. The other four are fine. Might need to see another year from Hoiberg but I like him.

English

Jayhawk Live@kutweetsandnews·9h

Ben McCollum Todd Golden Dustin May Tommy Lloyd Fred Hoiberg

Jayhawk Live@kutweetsandnews

My take. You don’t say you’re undecided about coming back and coaching next year unless you’re most likely done.

Golden ain’t it. Shouldn’t be on any potential short list.

Aint No Seats Podcast@AintNoSeatsPod

Example of how hard it is to win in March. Bill Self since 2022: - Missed second weekend 4 of 5 years. - Won National Title Todd Golden since 2022: -Missed second weekend 4 of 5 years. -Won National Title

@Big_Tamale This may not be a take others agree with but I’d also soften the noncon schedule a tad.

English

BigTamale@Big_Tamale·8h

@bhallier I would almost give 23 an asterisk. But the problems since 23 have been the same. No guard, no depth, terrible basketball to end the season, and blowout losses. He needs to learn to play a Duke, Houston, and ISU schedule and develop depth and chemistry.

English

Brad Hallier@bhallier·8h

@HowiesTakeLULZ Agree it’s fair. And the questioning is valid. 2023 though, wasn’t that Bill’s first heart trouble? So he can’t be held for that loss. Sorry can’t remember the year.

English

Howie Feltersnatch@HowiesTakeLULZ·8h

@bhallier It’s not unfair to question the before and after

English

Brad Hallier@bhallier·9h

@mattpercy15 @ajsteventon I get the frustration. I really do. But to think KU or anyone can get a coach as good or better than Bill Self is odd. It’s like Chiefs fans wanting to run off Andy Reid.

English

Matt Percy@mattpercy15·9h

@bhallier @ajsteventon Better 😂😂 that’s barely possible. How do these people not understand the greatness we have experienced the last 23 years.

English

Brad Hallier@bhallier·9h

@Big_Tamale Fair assessment (although the first crashout was when Self had his heart troubles). I think he's getting closer to figuring it out, and I do think next year's recruiting class is so good he wants to coach them. Either way, if this isn't it for Bill, next year will be.

English

BigTamale@Big_Tamale·9h

@bhallier True, but for 4 straight years the team has been playing their worst basketball ending February into the Tournament. I no longer believe he knows how to construct a roster year after year with 4-5 new starters. The days of developing a player for 3-4 are long gone.

English

Brad Hallier@bhallier·9h

@JamesKman13 He hasn't gotten the right pieces for sure. What would have been interesting is if Peterson had been healthy all year.

English

James Kellerman@JamesKman13·9h

@bhallier I’m split on it. I can acknowledge that Self might be the best coach KU has ever had. At the same time, I can argue that he’s underachieved and done some bad coaching jobs (in season and game decisions).

KU Twitter civil war brewing… Half will want bill to retire and the other half to stay.

@Jedwards_radio So it could work or it may not. 🤷 The good news is I guess KU will have a new coach in 1-13 months.

English

Jeremiah Edwards@Jedwards_radio·9h

@bhallier Mind telling me how it’s working out for Duke? How about Michigan? How’d UCONN do after firing their national title winning coach? I bet Iowa is an absolute mess after moving on from Fran McCaffery. I bet Arizona regretted firing Sean Miller?

@ajsteventon Better? Not likely. One that can win a nattie? Sure.

@bhallier You think KU can’t get a better coach to replace him for the next 20 years?

Brad Hallier@bhallier·9h

@CJR16255 No to Golden and Oats. The other three would be fine, maybe add Fred Hoiberg in there too.

ChiefsJayhawksRoyals@CJR16255·10h

If he does retire, KU can have anyone they want. My list, in no particular order: Tommy Lloyd Ben McCollum Todd Golden Dusty May Nate Oats Anyone that says Vaughn is drunk. That would be horrible. This is KU. They can get anyone. No need for dumb nostalgia hires.

Michael Swain@MSwain247

Self said he hasn’t decided if he will coach next year. Said he will go home and discuss it with family. “I love what I do, I want to feel good doing it.”

@Jedwards_radio I mean, Kentucky and Carolina are kinda on that route too with new coaches.

English

Jeremiah Edwards@Jedwards_radio·9h

@bhallier It’s either that or turn into an irrelevant program like Syracuse or Indiana. At this point, Bill Self is nothing more than an underachieving heart patient.

@Jedwards_radio Would be an interesting strategy.
