LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Longtime college basketball coach Norm Roberts, who spent six seasons leading St. John's but is perhaps better known for his long tenure as an assistant at Kansas, announced his retirement Monday after nearly four decades in coaching.
During his time on Bill Self's bench, the Jayhawks won seven regular-season Big 12 Conference titles and three Big 12 Tournament titles, reached the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament four times and won the 2022 national championship.
“I've been fortunate that I've never worked a day in my life. Being able to coach at Kansas and be part of this program has been unbelievable," Roberts said in a statement issued by the school.
