Bill Self - introduced as the Head Coach of Kansas 

what an absolute legend, one of the greatest of all time.

I just love how Mizzou passed on Bill for Quin Snyder all those years ago. Hilarious.

2 national championships…. Countless Big12 titles. The man is the best coach in KU history now. It’s not debatable.

and now after 10 years, he's averaging 30 wins a season. that's extraordinary.

Theres no place like home! Rock Chalk Jayhawk! We ARE family

19 years later, Bill Self has won 2 natl. championships, made 4 final fours, has a winning percentage of .818, has led Ku to its 16th final four. He is a hall of famer with at least over 700 wins. He’s 296-16 at Kansas. Now 309-17 at Phog Allen Fieldhouse. The same number of final fours Kansas has and conference titles Kansas has in the Bill Self era is the same number of home losses. Bill Self is the greatest Kansas Jayhawk coach of all-time. He has led Ku to 9 of their 15 30 win seasons. Plus nine elite 8s as well.

Haha..look how young he was! The best coach ever to coach at KU! Ever!

I'm in tears watching Bill Self 15 years later. Ive been watching him my hole life. I love that man. RCJH

Crazy how this crept in to my timeline. Bill Self has been awesome. He definitely had a tough act to follow.

i watch this all the time. im such a KU basketball nerd

Who’s here after the ‘22? No place like Kansas.

Amazing. I was very early into my KU Fandom when Bill Self took over and I certainly never saw a lot of the stuff that happened as at that time my parents didn't have TV. Now I see this and I'm like ........... dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm He is a legend already ... but commenting this 1.5 hours before his 3rd championship game appearance ..... time to get your 2nd, NCHOFHCBS

The best part of that man is his extraordinary heart.

Bill is one of the top 5 coaches in the game

Coach Self, we love you, man.

I'm 51 years old and I agree with Coach Self 110%. I still get teary eyed EVERY time I am fortunate enough to walk into the Phog!

the most imortant day in KU basketball history

2x National Champion. Only the 2nd coach in Kansas history with multiple National Titles. Phog Allen had 3. 1922, 1923, and 1952.

I would not trade Bill Self for any other coach PERIOD.ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK!!!!

Bill Self is the best coach in the game right now. ROCK CHALK

the man has won 9 Straight Conf.titles, 6 Conference Tournaments, 7 Sweet 16, 5 Elite 8, 2 Final Fours and 1 National Championship in 10 SEASONS!!! And He still has 9 more years on his contract..he might reach 800 career wins...hes at 509

2022...19 years in... 2 National Championships (2008,2022) , 1 National Championship Runner-Up (2012), 4 final fours.... A streak of 14 consecutive Big 12 conference championship , Hall of Fame Coach ....and the best is yet to come

2012 Naismith coach of the year! CONGRATS AGAIN!!!!

THE MOST IMPORTANT moment in Kansas Jayhawks basketball history. 19 yrs later? - 9 Elite8s. - 4 Final Fours. - 3 National Title gm apperances. - 2 National Titles. - Most overall wins in country since 2003-04 season-2021-22 season. - Most Reg Season Conf Titles. - 14 straight BigXII Conf Titles fr 05-18.(Now the longest in NCAA history.) - Owns consecutive weeks ranked in AP Poll. (2009-prsnt. Longest in NCAA history.) - Kansas is #1 in All-time Wins. Kentucky is #2.. - Kansas has made 32 straight NCAA Tournaments. (By far leads country. A streak that will most likely NEVER touched by a team out of a Pwr5 Conf.)

2009 AP Coach of the Year! Congrats!

once again coach of the year

So happy to have him! Rock Chalk

Crazy that was before we even had a video board in the fieldhouse.

Bill Self has been nothing short of amazing since he has been at Kansas. He's been at Kansas for 15 years, on average, Ku has averaged about 30 wins. He's won 30 games at least 7 out of 8 seasons I believe. He's made 10 elite 8s, 3 final fours, won the conference 14 times, been to two title game appearances, winning one time. If that's considered choking, then I'm all for it. But Ku is way overdue for a natl. championship. They need to take it all year.

In Bill we TRUST. This guy is worth every penny. I would not want anyone else coaching KU.

Who else is watching this in 2022 after Bill Self wins his 2nd title? RCJHGOKU!

most wins in the last 6 years in college basketball history. bill self, you. are. a. basketball. god.

THE most important day in Kansas Jayhawks Basketball history.

* Tears up *

that guy had such a tough act to follow after roy williams, but now hes graced us with 2 championships (something roy could never give us).

BEST. COACH. IN. THE. COUNTRY.

Freakin awesome video my man

Nice speech.

His consecutive conference championships will never matched.

You tell them Bill Self. Ain't No Place like Kansas.

I swear I think having the weirdest nfl favorite teams nfl:Philly eagles/nba:Philadelphia sixers/mlb:Philadelphia Phillies/ncaa:Kansas jayhawks

did you really just write this 3 days ago? Maybe you were in a cave or manhattan. KU won the title.

They wouldnt of got their without Self

If you're picked for Kansas,Duke,or NC coach you'll be put on a level next to Jesus. Never will you be second guessed or questioned about any basketball decision ever. Any loss will never be blamed on coach.

just for roy to not care for us during our championship

lets not forget He has 300 wins at Kansas

KU plays for Conference and National Championships, not coach of the year prizes.

the the the greatest place in college basketball on on on a........goodness he stutters like none others.

ROCK CHALK BELIEVE IN SELF

LOL,whens the last time a fan of a school walked around wearing a National Coach of the Year t shirt or hat?..Enjoy Frank Haith as COY..ill enjoy wearing my KU 2012 Big 12 champs tshirt and KU 2012 Final Four T Shirt.

His home record is as impressive as anything in sports

Except for winning the national championship last April.
