I had one prevailing thought following Wednesday's announcement from mentor Harry Coxsome that center Udoka Azubuike will be returning to Kansas for his junior season: Welcome back to Bill Self's wheelhouse.
The Kansas coach has no doubt adjusted away from his comfort zone the last two seasons. He did a great job of catering to his personnel, creating an innovative four-guard offense that was the foundation for the Jayhawks winning big with an outside-in style they'd never had to previously embrace.
Make no mistake, though. This wasn't Self's preference.
