Kansas Jayhawks men's basketball will hire Tony Bland to join Bill Self's coaching staff ahead of the 2025-26 season, ESPN's Pete Thamel reports.
Bland was a member of Danny Sprinkle's coaching staff this past year at Washington during Sprinkle's first season as head coach, together contributing to a 13-18 (4-16 in Big Ten conference play) season for the Huskies. Before coming to Washington, Bland spent seasons as an assistant coach at USC from 2013-2017, and at his alma mater San Diego State from 2012-2013.
He also had a successful collegiate career, starring for Syracuse and San Diego State for postseason runs at both schools.
