College news: KU’s Self receives coach of the year honor
More News
Kansas basketball coach Bill Self was awarded the Chicagoland Sports Hall of Fame’s Ray Meyer Award, given annually to the national coach of the year.
Self has never lived in Chicago, but, by virtue of winning the award, he will be inducted into the Chicagoland Sports Hall of Fame on Oct. 15. Last year, Florida’s Billy Donovan won the award and was inducted.
The induction ceremony will have a true KU presence; former KU and Chicago Bears running back Gale Sayers, who has already been inducted, will be receiving the Hall of Fame’s lifetime achievement award.
