Udoka Azubuike is listening to one person, and one only, as he attempts to improve his performance from the free-throw line.
That instructor is Kansas coach Bill Self.
“I’ll take the blame if it doesn’t go well and he deserves all the credit if it does,” Self said Wednesday night on his weekly Hawk Talk radio show.
Self was the one coach to work with 7-foot sophomore center Azubuike on his free-throw form after a Jan. 23 loss at Oklahoma in which Azubuike missed six free throws without a make during a Lon Kruger induced “Poke-A-Doke” strategy in the final minutes.
