I thought he was one of the best coaches in the country and had my respect until that outburst. That was total bush league. His interview at halftime where he was uncontrollably spasming, shaking, and sweating just reinforced the fact. "It was a STRANGE call". That man will win at all costs and it translates to their cocky players.

Regardless if we win or lose I'm proud of CFH and they way our players carry themselves.

Stay classy KU.

But people loved Johnny for his candor and Eustachy for his emotion. Got it.

You must think late game intentional fouls are also bush league.

Sorry but I just don't get this. He thought it was a bad call. He works hard for his team. What is the big deal?? Rise above, dude.

Self blew his top over two legit calls, one a right call and one a right non call.

Mclemore was taunting Niang and our bench. Niang did NOT hook on that drive. It was purely a strategic move on his part to change the game....again.

Hate to troll, but with that much emotion in one first half, any of us would be going nuts in his shoes.

CW, Self is overrated. His coaching shenningans smack of desperation. His shrill style has deteriorated from past years. He is really boring when he throws first half hissys.

I don't get the hate for Self during this game. If one of our players had looked at the KU bench after a 3 (apparently thats all he did) and got a T we would be livid, and the small percentage would be ripping Fred a new one for not being more emotional. He didn't do anything to disrespect us so get over it. You don't have to like him but he is a damn good coach.

It was a planned move, the game was called exactly like he wanted the remainder of the game. We got mugged and they called every touch foul on our bigs inside.

Our own fan base is going to drive me away. Seriously. Self did what he had to, and he didn't get away with anything, so why are you complaining. I think Self is the best coach in the Big 12, and he's proven it. Anyone not giving him credit needs to look at who has won the regular season title over, and over, and over, and over, etc. C'mon. Quit being butt hurt pansies, have a strong drink (or 4), and get on with it. Grow up.

No, I would say the call was legit. You can celebrate with your teammates, but not directly in the opposing players bench of opposing player.

Self did what he had to do, and has for 2 games ion a row against ISU. It sucks because ISU lost because of it, but the fact that in Bill Self's long career, he has done this very little and did it twice against ISU this season speaks well for ISU.

Not doubting his coaching prowness. It was a great move both times in both games to swing the game and refs his way to call it tight.

Sorry but the fouls are our bigs were fouls. Why can't our fan base just accept that the #7 team (and possible 1 seed) beat us?

Oh, yeah, Eustachy was always justified. How ridiculous. What does it matter what the calls are? He was "hurting" his team by getting them. It's not like he was solely gaining an unfair advantage by yelling. Just because CFH doesn't blow his lid like that doesn't mean the people that do are classless. It means he knows how to make it work in his favor. You people need to get over that because in terms of being able to manipulate officials into making calls, we are going to come out on the short end a lot.
