Kansas basketball coach Bill Self was discharged from Lawrence Memorial Hospital on Saturday, two days after undergoing a procedure to insert two stents to open blocked arteries.
In a statement released by the university, Self expressed gratitude for the care he received, saying, “I want to thank all the amazing doctors and nurses at LMH Health for the excellent care during my stay. I feel strong and am excited to be home. Our team has had a productive summer, and I’m looking forward to recharging and preparing for the upcoming season.” The 62-year-old Self had felt unwell on Thursday after leading Kansas’ final summer practice. He previously missed the 2023 Big 12 and NCAA tournaments due to a heart condition, when he had a catheterization and stent placement. Self is the winningest coach in Kansas history, with a 609-156 record, and has led the Jayhawks to national titles in 2008 and 2022. He is a member of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame and holds an overall coaching record of 831-261, including stints at Oral Roberts, Tulsa, and Illinois.
