Bill Self Suspended Four Games to Start Kansas Basketball Season, per Report

Kansas men’s basketball will be without coach Bill Self to begin its 2022–23 season, Stadium’s Jeff Goodman reported on Wednesday morning. Self and assistant coach Kurtis Townsend will each serve a self-imposed four-game suspension to start the campaign.

The self-imposed sanctions stem from the 2017 NCAA investigation into the Jayhawks program, according to Goodman.

Norm Roberts, the former coach of St. John’s and a Self assistant since 2012, will take over interim head coaching duties during the suspension.

Kansas is set to open the regular season on Nov.
