I assume the way his program has been run is why he got fired.
Also, Self may simply look at KU as being a better job than any NBA job. Coaching college kids is a whole different animal than coaching professionals, many of whom are prima donnas. Some coaches are simply not cut out to coach pros or simply may not want to deal with the over inflated egos of pros. Nothing wrong with recognizing that. Just look at Nick Saban. I think he figured that out about himself and has since been doing just fine. |
Thank you for correcting me on the word "contempt"...LOL
I also agree with what you're saying...again, all I was saying..is you can't put down 1 coach and defend the other for doing the same thing..and that is being CONTENT with his job and his life.
