Self to Stay at Kansas

Three days after Kansas's National Championship game victory, the Jayhawks week gets even better. Following rumors of possibly leaving for his alma mater Oklahoma State, Kansas head basketball coach Bill Self said Thursday he will stay at Kansas.

The news comes after a ten-day period that was certainly kind to Self and his Jayhawks. An Elite Eight victory over Davidson cemented Self's first Final Four appearance, a victory over the overall #1 seed North Carolina in the Final Four, and the nine point comeback with two minutes left in the championship Monday night, gave Coach Self much incentive to remain on the sidelines at Phog Allen Fieldhouse.

The decision to stay came once Oklahoma State contacted Self to gauge his interest in the position and Self was not interested. "I couldn't see myself leaving this place" Self said during his press conference today.
