Kansas basketball: Bill Self deserved Big 12 Coach of the Year

During his time with Kansas basketball, Bill Self has won the Coach of the Year (COY) award six times. He’s won the conference regular-season championship 15 times including this season; however, Scott Drew was given the COY this year.

Drew did an incredible job this season at Baylor; there’s no denying that. He led the Bears to a 15-3 conference record, their best finish in Big 12 history. Still, it wasn’t enough to win Baylor their first-ever Big 12 title.

After a “down” year in the conference last season, Self led the Jayhawks to a 17-1 record and title.
