One of my favorite what if’s that has always intrigued me is what if Lon Kruger doesn’t leave Illinois for the Hawks in 2000? What becomes of Bill Self? Does Doug Dickey realize the mistake that he made in ‘97 when he passed Self over and decides to hire him in 2001? Does Self end up in Ann Arbor that same off season? And what happens with the KU job after Roy left for UNC? Hard to believe that they would have hired Self, unless he had remarkable success in his year or two after leaving Tulsa.
