KANSAS CITY, Mo. —
Kansas men's basketball coach Bill Self will be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, the Hall announced Saturday.
A first-ballot inductee, Self becomes the 20th person associated with Kansas basketball to be inducted, the last being coaching legend John McClendon, who was inducted last year for a second time, according to a news release from KU Athletics.
"I actually thought about it a little bit because I knew I was a finalist but I never thought it would come to be," Self said. "Even though I was expecting a call to tell me one way or the other, it totally caught me off guard. I'm very honored and very humbled because I know there are so many people out there that this game has been their life to them or they have based their entire life promoting and having great success at the game. I feel humbled that I was remotely considered in that group."
Induction ceremonies will take place in September at the Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts.
