The 2007-2008 Kansas Jayhawks capped off one of the program's most storied seasons by winning its fifth national championship, and
first in 20 years. The Jayhawks success in 2007-2008 has been credited to total team effort and the inspiring leadership of head
coach Bill Self.
During his relatively short head coaching career, Self has established himself as one of college basketball's best by leading Oral
Roberts to new frontiers, guiding Tulsa to its best season in school history, turning Illinois into a Big Ten powerhouse and now
taking Kansas from a perennially great program to the best in the nation. .........

In Bill Self's first authorized book: BILL SELF: At Home in the Phog, Self and those who know him best offer an inside look at his
journey into becoming one of the game's most respected and most sought-after coaches. Self explains how he is living a dream - not
only is he a head coach, but he was selected to be the steward of what James Naismith and Phog Allen created. He describes the
excitement of reaching the pinnacle - leading the Jayhawks to a national title.
He gives minute-by-minute details of the contest that sent KU to the national title game. Self has achieved his dream of becoming
a head coach. That much is evident. Even though he never dreamed of being the head coach at the University of Kansas, he did aspire
to lead a college basketball team to greatness, which is exactly what he is doing. Self's journey proves that even though dreams
may change, they can come true.
