Ladies night out with Bill Self
MORNING BREW
Fact: Before Thursday night I could honestly say I was not obsessed with Kansas Basketball by any means. I have never stayed and attended a game mostly because I wasn't invested. That is not the case anymore.
Thursday night, I was given the opportunity to see the players in a non-press conference setting. I attended "Ladies Night Out with Bill Self," a fundraiser for breast cancer research and a cause dear to my heart. This was the ninth year that the basketball team and Bill Self donned their best warm-ups and showed some ladies the ropes of Kansas Basketball.
I went into the evening expecting to hang out with ladies at least 30 years older than me and watch the team be mobbed for photos and autographs. I was right. But, from the experience I was able to see the more personal side of the team and discover my love for Kansas Basketball.
Barry Hinson, the director of men's basketball operations, kept
the ladies entertained with comments about how much he loved their dresses and reminded them to drink up because it is for a good cause. He promised from the very beginning that if a single husband called for someone, all of the women would be hard at work running drills until 1 a.m.
The coaching staff introduced the team with a few personal touches. Self introduced Naadir Tharpe as the best dancer on the team, showed off Niko Roberts' freshly broken nose and let the ladies fawn over Thomas Robinson after he returned from an MRI.
The women oo-ed and aw-ed over the players. The players were asked numerous times, as they were being photographed, why they chose Kansas. After answers about the quality of the education and the school traditions, the women encouraged the players over and over again to not be one-and-done players. The young men were courteous, funny and honestly lovable with the ladies despite the sometimes tough love they received about the upcoming season.
Legendary coach Larry Brown flew in for the occasion. He spent time answering questions with Self. The women knew their stuff. They asked about recruiting practices and how Self would keep the team's free-throw shooting average up despite losing top shooters Tyrel Reed and Brady Morningstar.
Brown explained that when he coached at Kansas he was willing to give a scholarship to a kid who was said to be "a good kid." It didn't matter if the kid looked like he was
going to win a championship coming out of high school. Brown was looking for committed, coachable players.
Brown and Self agreed that kids that come to Kansas because they just want to play so badly are the ones that are going to be the most successful. The crowd of women agreed, citing Tyrel Reed and Cole Aldrich.
The team this year is young. It is a fact that Self and Brown both recognize. Self joked with players when they were demonstrating the Kansas offense that they didn't know it yet. It was a little joke and one that the players recognized as having some truth to it.
A woman told Tyshawn Taylor how proud she was of him for growing up during his time at KU. He said thank you. He explained that everyone needs their time to grow and as a team that is what they are doing now, growing and coming together.
