haters gonna hate
It's not a hate thing.
You think K helped his legacy his last 1-3ish years? Maybe more. He got weird. Angry. Out of touch.
This is a young mans game. Self is already a
top 10 college coach of all time. He deserves to ride off into the sunset whenever he is ready....but hey, if it's 75, and passing K is something he wants to do, he'll be doing it at KU. And that'll be awesome.
I just don't think that specific record means as much to him as the team accolades and his players accolades/future successes. It rarely feels like "it's about him" if you know what I mean.
Top 5
Who's your Top 5? Coach K, Roy WIlliams, Dean Smith, Adolph Rupp and Bill Self maybe?

this argument is likely to go the way of the MJ/bron/Wilt one…or the greatest Jayhawk one
comparing different accolades across different eras makes it an almost impossible task

Self is top 5 based on pure domination over the last 20 years. The conference championships, the winning percentage, 2 championships over 14 years and having guys with decent NBA draft and success.

I don't even want to check. They'll have Jay Wright and Boeheim and Calhoun probably pretty high.

I don't think he would stick around JUST to pass Coach K. Just saying that if he coached that long, he would break the record. Self is averaging more than 27 wins a season at KU, over 28 wins a season the last 10 years and over 29 wins a season the last 7 years so he seems to be getting better and more consistent as he goes. Sure, 75 is a stupid long time to coach and I thoroughly doubt that Self will coach that long. But he on Coach K's pace is all, with no signs of slowing down whatsoever.
You don't have to convince me. I am with you.
