Kansas basketball coach Bill Self was discharged from the University of Kansas Health System on Sunday and is set to rejoin the team this week.
In a release announcing Self’s discharge from the hospital, KU’s coach is doing well and expected to make a full recovery.
“KU coach Bill Self was discharged from the University of Kansas Health System today in good condition,” the release read. “He arrived at the emergency department Wednesday evening March 8, complaining of chest tightness and balance concerns. Clinical Service Chief for Cardiovascular Medicine and Interventional cardiologist Dr. Mark Wiley said Coach Self underwent a standard heart catheterization and had two stents placed for the treatment of blocked arteries. Coach Self responded well to the procedure and is expected to make a full recovery.”
Self returned home to Lawrence prior to the NCAA Selection Show, and said he is looking forward to being back on the sidelines.
“I’m so thankful for the amazing staff at the University of Kansas Health System for the excellent care I received,” Self said in a statement. “I am proud of our team and coaching staff for how they have handled this and am excited to be back with them as the best time of the season gets underway.”
The Jayhawks (27-7) were awarded a No. 1 seed and will play No. 16 seed Howard (22-12) at 1 p.m. Thursday in Des Moines, Iowa.
