Close<\/a>Jeff Borzello is a basketball recruiting insider. He has joined ESPN in 2014.<\/p>\n

Kansas<\/a> coach Bill Self was released from the hospital on Saturday, the university announced, two days after having two stents inserted<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I want to thank all the amazing doctors and nurses at LMH Health for the excellent care I received during my stay there,” Self said in a statement. “I feel strong and am excited to be home. Our team has had a productive summer and look forward to our batteries being recharged and prepping for this upcoming season.”<\/p>\n

Self was admitted to LMH Health on Thursday after feeling unwell and experiencing “some concerning symptoms.” He underwent a procedure to have two stents inserted and the university said he was expected to make a full recovery.<\/p>\n

In 2023, Self missed the Big 12 and NCAA tournaments after being hospitalized because of chest tightness and balance concerns. He underwent a heart catheterization and had two stents placed for the treatment of blocked arteries.<\/p>\n

Self, 62, has been the coach at Kansas since 2003, winning two national championships and taking the Jayhawks to four Final Fours. He led Kansas to an NCAA-record 14 consecutive Big 12 regular-season championships from 2004 to ’18 and was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2017<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speculation about Self’s potential retirement grew louder toward the end of last season, but he dismissed that talk multiple times. This season, the Jayhawks welcome star freshman Darryn Peterson<\/a>, the projected No. 1 pick in ESPN’s 2026 mock draft<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Longtime assistant coach Norm Roberts, who filled in for Self while he was sidelined in 2023, retired this offseason. Roberts was replaced in May by former Kansas star and two-time NBA head coach Jacque Vaughn.<\/p>\n

Self signed an amended five-year contract in 2023<\/a> that made him the highest-paid coach in college basketball and was set up to be effectively a lifetime deal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jeff BorzelloJul 26, 2025, 04:33 PM ET CloseJeff Borzello is a basketball recruiting insider.
