Coach Bill Self, the head of Kansas men's basketball, is ready to return to the court for Saturday's game against Kansas State. This comes after he missed the recent win over Colorado due to chest pains. He spent a short time in the hospital but was quickly released after receiving fluids.
Self downplayed the incident, saying it was similar to what many people experience. He mentioned that it was intense for a brief period but is now under control. He assured everyone that it won't affect his future coaching.
This isn't the first time Self has dealt with heart issues. A few years ago, he had to sit out the Big 12 and NCAA tournaments after getting stents for blocked arteries. Last summer, he had two more stents inserted.
The No. 19 ranked Jayhawks are eager to have their coach back for the big game. The matchup is set for 8 p. m. ET on Fox in Manhattan, KS.
It's clear that Self's health is a recurring concern, but he seems determined to stay on the sidelines. Fans and players alike will be relieved to see him back, but it's important to keep an eye on his well-being.
