Bill Self admits this isn’t easy for him.
The Kansas men’s basketball coach has elevated himself to this point — he’s a surefire future Hall of Famer — while sticking to an offense that he began running during his days at Tulsa nearly 20 years ago.
The basic staple is this: Three out, two in. While others go small, KU goes big.
“I’ve always been a guy that plays inside-out, and you guys know that,” Self said. “But I’m becoming more and more open to playing outside-in, because we’ve had to the last couple years.”
KU’s roster has taken an even different shape in 2016-17.
