Jacque Vaughn is headed back to Lawrence.
Kansas struck a deal to hire the former Jayhawks star and NBA head coach as an assistant on Wednesday afternoon, the school announced.
"We're very excited to welcome Jacque and [his wife] Laura into the fold," Kansas coach Bill Self said in a statement. "I've known Jacque from a distance for several years now and have always admired how he has conducted himself professionally and how he has treated people. I think he will be an excellent addition to our program, while also serving as a great mentor, coach and representative of Kansas basketball.
