Coaching Changes, Coaching Un-Changes

“Bill Self, you just won the National Championship, one of the greatest title games in NCAA hoops history, what are you going to do next?” Stay home, apparently. Bill Self has decided to stay at his new “home” at Kansas despite practically being handed the keys to his old home in Oklahoma, his alma mater. Self was a player for the Cowboys, grew up in the state and was an assistant coach at Oklahoma in his younger coaching days. But despite the fact that he would have returned there as a hero, he decided to decline the invitation in order to stay with the Kansas Jayhawks. Good move? You be the judge. There is no end to the opinions on this one.

In other news… Stanford’s old coach Trent Johnson is going to be the new sideline pacer in Baton Rouge. After completing an 80-48 record while with the Cardinal, Johnson has decided to take a gig with the LSU Tigers, a team that was a national champion just a few years back, but one that has fallen off a bit since then. Will he be able to right the ship for LSU?
