Kansas’ Bill Self could hold a college basketball coaches convention this upcoming week in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada, if he so desired.
Coaches from approximately 30 U.S hoops teams are planning on attending the FIBA Americas under-18 Championship on Sunday through Saturday, Zagsblog.com reported Saturday. The coaches are taking advantage of a new rule letting them attend USA Basketball teams’ games in various international events, even in a recruiting dead period such as this one.
KU coach Self’s 12-player U.S. under-18 men’s national team, which is loaded with elite college basketball prospects, will play its first game of the tourney against Dominican Republic at 5 p.
