Note To Self

You’re coming off your first national championship and the first for Kansas in 20 years. You have been rewarded with 10-year, $30 million contract extension.
One or two more titles in that time span and you’ll be an icon not only in Kansas, but in the world of college basketball. You will be mentioned in the same conversation as Mike Kryzewski, Dean Smith, Bobby Knight and others, as well as the coach you replaced – Roy Williams as one of the all-time great coaches.
But not John Wooden. Nobody comes close to Wooden.
Your legacy is just about set and that means others will want piece of you. So no matter how tempting, no matter how much money, glamor and fame you are offered, please, please, please, I beg you for your sake, because I, along with the entire University of Kansas are looking out for your best interests….
Stay where you are and do not take the Los Angeles Clippers job when it is offered to you!
