KU coach Bill Self: ‘It’s been a dark week’
“It’s sad. It’s been a dark week. And I hope it doesn’t, but all indications are it could get darker before it gets brighter. But I hope that’s not the case.”
Early Thursday evening, the Associated Press reported that KU was "conducting an internal review of its storied program."
Associate athletic director Jim Marchiony said that characterization was inaccurate and confirmed to the Journal-World that the school was "discussing the issue internally."
Some web sites went as far as to claim that KU had launched an investigation, but Marchiony said KU had not taken any such steps and was merely monitoring the situation and discussing the news as it developed."

“With kindest regards to Dr. Forrest C. Allen, the father of basketball coaching, from the father of the game.”
1936 inscription on the portrait of Dr. Naismith, displayed above Phog Allen's office desk at KU.
Just owing to the college coaching fraternity and the national scandal, or because it's dark inside the KU inner sanctum because this could hit KU? Anyone have a bead on the context of his comments?
It's shoddy journalism if you ask me--to put that out and not have had context or asked critical follow-up questions.

The actual article is not as "dark' as my crude Cut & Paste teaser...Sorry......Self actually focused on fixing things, etc....for those who don't read the worthwhile whole article hears a better expansion of the quote:
“It’s been a dark week, there’s no question, but I’m not sure that it (won’t) trigger things that will make this better,” said Self when asked if he thought this week was the start of some kind of reform, regardless of what the solution turns out to be. “It’s not gonna be in the immediate future, but there’s been some things that have obviously transpired that will create talks that allow our sport to become better in the future. I just hope the future’s soon as opposed to down the line.
“It’s sad. It’s been a dark week. And I hope it doesn’t, but all indications are it could get darker before it gets brighter. But I hope that’s not the case.”
read the whole article...he said a LOT more
