How a Bill Self adjustment is helping his team’s best player

The reaction came quickly, with Kansas coach Bill Self chucking his halftime paper box score under his chair in frustration.

His team had executed just what he wanted. In KU’s first non-transition possession of the second half against TCU, Self called for one of his bread-and-butter plays — one that’s worked for more than a decade — and after some coordinated side-to-side movement, Devon Dotson threw a pass over the top to Dedric Lawson inside.

With a defender behind him and a semi-open look, Lawson missed the layup, then couldn’t corral the rebound.

This type of result happened twice more before the next media timeout.
