MEN'S BASKETB
COLUMN (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
major factors on his side: a consistent ability to win and an undying passion for the game.
It is difficult to defy time and maintain the steady level of a top-10 program. Let's play the hopefully conservative card and say that Kansas finishes the season 36-3 (one more regular season loss, win the Big 12 tournament and reach the elite eight). Then play the highly speculative card and say that Self, 47, remains at Kansas until he is 60 years old and averages 27 wins per season. That would put Self at a grand total of 763 wins — legendary status.
Now one must understand, these are lofty expectations, even for a historical winner like Self. To do so, he must not only preserve his proven recruiting and coaching skills, he must also convert those commodities into year-to-year success as the gray hairs grow by the season. Don't think that the rest of the Big 12 is going to sit and watch Self climb the ladder of history either. The supremacy of the entire conference isn't falling soon.
But as long as the years come, so should the winning, whether it's 27 or 23 per year. The potential mitigating factor revolves around the nature of sports economics.
"I think the business has changed enough where guys aren't going to coach for as many years." Self said. "Coaches are making more money so you don't have to work as long to retire. How much was coach Wooden making in his last year at UCLA?"
According to ESPN's Rick Reilly, no more than $35,000 a year. That was 1975. Today, Self pulls in a clean $3 million a year.
For Sell to rise in the ranks, the appeal of an early retirement must place second to the value of cutting down a net. But wherever he finishes, 500, 600 or 903 (one ahead of D-1 leader Bob Knight), cherish the time that Sacra graces the Kansas sideline.
Every time that he so casually strolls onto Naismith Court before the opening tip, look at Self as a brilliant coach, not a man hiking for numbers. Even though he's got those, too

Henry finally effective in Big 12

The solution to Xavier Henry's shooting woes seemed so simple the way he described it after Saturday's game.
"You can call it a slump, but I just know if I keep shooting the ball, I'm going to get better," Henry said.
Following his 15-point performance at Texas last Monday, Henry had 16 against Iowa State, leading the Jayhawks to a 73-59 victory.
Since the start of conference play, a new Henry emerged — one that hasn't been much of a factor in Big 12 games.
the conference had nothing to do with him scoring double figures only four times in 10 conference contests.
But Henry said he has done virtually nothing to correct the problem. He's just putting up more and more shots, hoping they go in.
“There’s little things I tweak and stuff like that, but other than that, it’s just my mindset,” Henry said.
After the game, senior guard Sherron Collins popped into the conversation about Henry's new hot streak.
"See, he's already learning: stay positive," Collins said.
As the only senior of the team, Collins shared his experiences with Henry, going through freshman slumps.
"I went through those slumps
real bad," Collins said. "The older guys helped me and now I have to pass it down. It's my team. I have to make sure everybody's happy and on the same page."
But the jayhawks went on a 14-0 run — the first nine of those points coming in the span of a minute — to get a stranglehold on the game.
Henry went 3-of-5 from 3-point range, including a stretch when he had eight consecutive points for the jayhawks. At the end of the first half, coach Bill Self, who won his 400th game, said Henry lost his rhythm briefly after an offensive foul midway through the first half
"He shot the ball well from
But Henry kept chucking and scored eight points in each half. Being a natural scorer, that's all he could do.
"I'm a shooter so it's not like I've never shot the ball before and I'm going to keep missing every single day," he said.
Collins, who struggled shooting 4-for-14 from the floor, didn't have to do much. The Jayhawks looked like they were in trouble early, but a lineup led by sophomore guard Tyshawn Taylor and junior Tyrel Reed continued to pour on points with Collins on the bench.
