Owens coached the Jayhawks from 1964-83, putting up a record of 348-128. Brown, currently the coach at SMU, succeeded Owens until 1988, leading the team to a national championship in his final season. Willliams took over for the next 15 years before leaving for alma mater North Carolina, going 418-101.

Self took over in 2003 and has led Kansas to 10 straight Big 12 regular season titles, the 2008 national championship and a 175-9 record at Allen Fieldhouse. The four coaches have combined for a 713-109 record at the arena.

Kansas went 25-10 last season, falling in the third round of the NCAA Tournament.
