Kansas basketball coach Bill Self celebrated his 56th birthday almost exclusively in the gym on Thursday.
The Jayhawks (10-1), who were awarded three days off after Saturday’s loss at Arizona State, practiced at 7 a.m. and were scheduled to go again at 6 p.m.
During four of the hours in between, the players and coaches held a holiday clinic for 530 youths at Allen Fieldhouse.
“I’m going to spend some time with Doke,” Self said with a smile when asked if he was going to enjoy a birthday dinner with his family Thursday night.
