In the long and storied history of Kansas basketball, the Jayhawks have had only eight coaches. That’s right, since the 1890s, only eight people have held the title of “head coach” when it comes to Kansas basketball.
That’s an incredible statistic that speaks to the quality of coaches the program has seen over the years. It’s something that even other blue blood programs like Duke, Kentucky, or North Carolina can’t boast, putting the Jayhawks in a category of their own.
With most coaches having success at Kansas, it’s hard to rank them at times. We’re going to focus strictly on the coaches’ time at Kansas, not any other coaching gigs.
