Bill Self Final pep talk vs Memphis

[WEBERisAbadCOACH]

Bill self is such a likeable guy. I truly wish he had stayed and made Illinois a power. He would have achieved that in Champaign.

[lexidurr]

Oh mryjn420090 u r so lucky wat is ur number not to sound stalkirish

[mryjn420090]

yeah I was there man that was a good speech and I even played a little in the game

[coachlok]

@mryjn420090 was he always like that. A bunch of people tell me that speech was just for the cameras - but I like Coach Self so I wanna believe this was the real him!

[youareadb]

@coachlok I have known Coach for 5 years. He is a very genuine person. That speech is a typical Bill Self speech. Not just for cameras. Rock Chalk!!!

[youareadb]

@mryjn420090 My older brother is Matt Kleinmann. An actually player on the KU championship team. You my friend DID NOT play for KU. Pretty pathetic that you have to pretend on youtube. Real Talk.

[plhavard]

I find it funny how you say he is the best coach in America and that professionalism is his defining trait.

You realize Bob Knight who is the least professional coach of all time has won 902 games which is far more than Self has won.

Coaches put their personality on a team and the best one's are the one's who can do that. Not the ones who are nice and wear a suit.

People like you are so full of sh*t defining how a coach should be. Everyone loves winning far more than a nice guy

[ElmoNiteLite2110]

@plhavard Knight isnt even a coach anymore so how can you say hes better than Self right now, of all time yah Knight is better...but right now Knight isnt a coach so its impossible for him to be better than Self at coaching

[ElmoNiteLite2110]

@plhavard yeah you are ignorant, Knight is done coaching, hes retired while Self is still coaching and will be coaching for a long time....you cant compare someone who coached for like 50+ years to someone who has coached like 20+, and yeah Self > Knight cause right now Self = coaching, Knight = not coaching

[rockchalk290]

@plhavard bob knight also coached for like 40 years, hes been coaching for like 15, so fuck off ignorant cock guzzling faggot

[thunderkiss61]

Awesome when he said they have nothing to lose and also the comment about, "I want to thank you in advance right now for the great memories it's going to be" when talking about a game that hadn't even begun yet.

[missathlete2]

love coach self, couldnt get any better

[smithandy87]

I will admit that our non-conference schedule is a little weak BUT think about this. They make the schedule 2 or 3 years before the season...Who would have thought that @UCLA, Memphis on a neutral court, Michigan, Cal, @Tennessee would be a weak schedule??? So before you hate on us remember that we are the deepest, most talented, best coached, and experienced team in the nation HANDS DOWN. Xavier is just as good as wall but he's got a lot more talent around him. ROCK CHALK!!

[ron1889]

Thats maybe the dumbest comment i have ever heard! Kansas has the best freshman in the ncaa besides john wall... then they have the best center in college basketball (aldrich) and then one of the best team leaders in sherron collins

[moJomittens]

The Gayhawks won't get to the final 4 this year, due to their powderpuff schedule..i bet anything.

[kansasfan17]

ur stupid hahaha

[moJomittens]

lol

[6891man]

Mario Chalmers will definitely be reminded of this night for the rest of his life! :D

[kooltodo]

rock chalk jayhawks baby. this speech was so symbolic of how the game turned out. play like u have nothing to lose.... be yourself

[asian4life30000]

KAnsas 2010 champions baby!!

[TheManWitTheFacts]

gave me chills

[tonyjackson80]

FYI - This speech was before the National Championship game vs Memphis, not UNC

[rushnut1958]

Yahoo Sports National Coach Of The Year 2009!!!!!

[theno1kufan]

best coach in america

purely proffesional

[kitks]

As a K-State fan I realize how influential and powerful coach Self is. Another great game between KSU and KU will happen tomorrow. It will be such an accomplishment for the Wildcats if they beat a team with such an accomplished coach as Bill Self.

[hyphysam]

That is a true coach!

[stevo0665]

that's the memphis talk idiots

[frankmartinisadouche]

National Champions.

[PFLUGRADT]

this is the best speech ever

[SFFOOL76]

Bill Self is similar to Jim Calhoun , due to the fact that they kept on losing Final 8 matchup's after Final 8 matchups, then they played a cinderall team in the final 8 and barely got by, then won the national championship.

[SFFOOL76]

How is that rude?

[asian4life30000]

fuck u bitch

[ryoungku]

wow, someone is acting like a douche

[Sandman59]

Bill Self is the man. I am so glad he is KU's coach, chill bumbs man.

[Cmill1221]

That was not the UNC pep talk that was the MEMPHIS pep talk.

[Pilaf2]

"Every day for the rest of your life someone will remind you of this night" awesome...

[BitchesLoveToHateMe]

He gave them his trust and they gave him poring their hearts on the court. That team never lost hope and knew they were capable of winning, and this gives me the chills. he is psychic

[theshanghai5]

he is psychic and a genius

[makestomstremble]

Love this guy!! He is so smart to stay at KU and not go back to Aggieland.

[jayhawk83]

I want Self to be around for many many years to come. I'm so glad hes staying! He's a great coach an even better human being. Rock chalk!!

[sportsfan913]

man Self is the master of the pre game pep talk

[skylights76]

The future highest paid coach in college sports?

[Mixer285]

GO KU!

[RockChalkJHawkKU]

Thanks for posting this! Congrats to the Jayhawks on a great season and a national title! Rock Chalk Jayhawk!!!
