It’ll be an interesting market with UNC coming open in all likelihood. It could mean the top 2 jobs in the sport come open at the same time while the top candidates are still in the tournament.
-
We got a pretty good group coming in.

So does anybody think Self calls it a career at KU?
IMO, he sticks around.
Any chance he’d go to OSU to close out his career!
-
No way he goes to osu!

@rockchalkjayhawk it's a done deal. Jerome Tang to take the helm May 1st. If we lose it, by God won't be his fault.

Since basketball started at KU (1898), there have been more Popes than coaches at KU.
To make a fair comparison, popes tend to be much older when selected, and it should be noted we have only given one coach a contract for life. All the popes have that, with resignation being quite unusual. Finally, popes tend to get promoted sooner than coaches and the promotion is definitely permanent.

Does anyone else feel cheated by this year's team? KU is a 3.5 dog to Pitino's team. After last night's second half, I guess I should feel lucky it wasn't an even bigger, more insulting spread. What the hell is going on with KU basketball? I've wondered that all year.

Definitely some reasons to believe Bill will be back next year

Yeah I’d be pretty surprised if he walked away. Seems like he’s still enjoying it.

But also to make it fair, Popes never are fired.

@bskeet Just their followers, who therafter have a good chance of being Saints.
Oh, wait. I thought you wrote "fried" not "fired."
-
I’d bet theres good money in selling fried pope donuts outside the selection ceremony.

What about the pope at Kentucky?
