LAWRENCE — The maximum number of games Bill Self likely has left to coach star freshman Josh Jackson can now be counted on two hands.
It’s a reality the Kansas basketball coach acknowledges — though not one he’s exactly thrilled to be reminded of.
Asked during Monday afternoon’s KU basketball news conference what sets Jackson apart from other one-and-done players he has coached over the years, Self interjected halfway through the question.
“Has he told you guys he’s leaving?” Self joked. “God, you ruined my day.”
Kidding aside, if there is a clock on the number of games Self has left with Jackson — a projected No.
