Kansas Jayhawks coach Bill Self was released from the hospital over the weekend, following a health scare that resulting in two stents inserted.

 

Self was admitted to LMH Health on Thursday after feeling unwell and experiencing "concerning symptoms." The Hall of Fame Coach underwent a procedure later Thursday and the university expects him to make a full recovery.

 

In 2023, Self missed both the conference tournament and the NCAA Tournament after being hospitalized with chest tightness and balance concerns. He also underwent a procedure then that had two stents placed to treat blocked arteries.

 

Self is 62 years old and has been the Jayhawks coach since 2003, winning two national championships and appearing in four Final Fours. KU won an NCAA-record 14 straight Big 12 regular season titles from 2004 to 2018, and he was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2017.

 

The coach recently signed a five-year deal in 2023 that was set up to be effectively a lifetime contract.
