Kansas coach Bill Self has not decided on his future and will discuss with family and consider his health after the NCAA tournament loss to St. John’s.

St. John’s won with Big East Player of the Year Zuby Ejiofor contributing 18 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists, sealing it on Darling’s game-winner.

Self acknowledged uncertainty around star freshman Darryn Peterson’s availability and minutes contributed to a challenging season.

Self has a storied Kansas run since 2003, including two national titles, 16 regular-season Big 12 titles, and 9 conference tournament titles, and has mentored numerous NBA players.

Kansas’s recent NIL era struggles and inconsistent performances have fueled questions about the program’s trajectory under Self.

At 63, Self tends to plan in two-year increments and wants to focus on this season’s performance before mapping a longer path forward.

Kansas’ season ended in heartbreak as a 13-point deficit was erased to tie in the final seconds, only for Dylan Darling to win it with a layup as time expired.

Kansas finished 23-10 overall and 12-6 in the Big 12, earned a No. 4 seed in the East, and beat California Baptist 68-60 in the first round before exiting.

Self emphasized that health considerations will shape his plans, and he currently feels as good as he has in a long time.

St. John’s will advance to the Sweet 16 to face Duke, the No. 1 overall seed, in the next round.

Self has a history of heart issues, including stents in 2023 and 2024, with recent hospital visits; any future decision will be health-based.

Self expressed disappointment for his players, recognizing the cruel nature of tournament play and the team’s failure to advance past the second round for a fourth straight year.
