April 11, 200818 yr The way Self handled this whole situation and the end result is so darn refreshing. Who knows, maybe Self will "take the money and run" in the future, but for now, he becomes my favorite coach in Division 1. How many coaches in any sport have said one thing and then done another. Self said he would listen and it would be tempting. How many coaches leave a great situation because they can just "cash in". He decided to likely take less money because of the great situation he is currently in. Doesn't mean that Self doesn't have flaws or that he has always done the right thing or will do the right thing in the future. But in a day and age where EVERYONE seems to lie, cheat and steal, we get a breath of fresh air from one of the good guys in the coaching ranks.

I agree, I don't know about my fav coach, but he showed thus far he can handle this kind of situation.
April 11, 200818 yr We're not talking about Kelvin Sampson here... BCG told his Texas A&M players he was going to UK with test messages, so no I am not talking about Sampson. Sounded like Sampson likes to talk on the phone.
