It appears Bill Self is having a health issue. KU has confirmed he won't coach today, but what actually happened is unconfirmed.

Hope it's not a repeat of the Mike Leach tragedy
Glad to see folks being skeptical of rumors* and waiting for official confirmations. Of course, I will now engage in similar non-official rumor-mongering!
- Insider word is he's fine. Had some chest discomfort overnight, thought it best to go get it checked out.
- He may or may not have received a stent or two.
- If a normal person with a normal non-stressful job, he'd already be up and back at life. Maybe take a long weekend to rest.
- Of course, he doesn't have a normal non-stressful job. Won't coach this weekend, but likely fine for the tournament next week.
Hopefully nothing more serious than the body rejecting the toupée

I wonder how he knew he had to go to the ER very lucky he caught it before a heart attack![]()

From personal experience, Google worked. I searched on the symptoms I was having (chest, back pain and shortness of breath) and it returned get to an emergency room. So I drove myself there. Turned out my left anterior descending artery was 99% clogged. But I had no significant heart damage nor indicators of a heart attack. Went home feeling normal after 3 days or so with a stent. Hope Bill’s experience turns out as well.I wonder how he knew he had to go to the ER very lucky he caught it before a heart attack
Google didn't tell you not to drive yourself to the ER?From personal experience, Google worked.

Noticed the symptoms walking the dog. Just sitting around I felt fine. But in hindsight driving myself was a poor decision.Google didn't tell you not to drive yourself to the ER?
Very similar experience for me. Shortness of breath and sweating like an Iowa hawg walking off a plane on a business trip. When I got home, I discussed it the wife who is an RN, and got an appointment for that afternoon. All tests came back normal, nothing out of order. The nurse practitioner asked to to get a stress test in the morning. 30 seconds into the treadmill test, the technician mashes the STOP button, grabs me by the back of my shorts, sits me in a chair shives baby aspirin in my mouth. When you begin exercise, your blood pressure is supposed to rise - mine dropped.From personal experience, Google worked.

So glad to hear it has been addressed bro.........I imagine the saucy Italian foods had to be cut back ??....................Very similar experience for me.

A quick trip to the cath lab, and I'm laying on the table when the technician yells across the room, "Hey Tom, come look at this s*it, can you believe this guy walked in from the street with this?" HEY, I'm right here dude, I can hear you! They spun the screen around to show me the blockage of the Left Main artery. Most people are Right Main dominant, I happy to be Left Main dominant, and it was 90% occluded. They put in an intro-aortic balloon pump and wheeled me off to the ICU to await surgery. Unfortunately a stent was not possible due to the location of the blockage, so I was awarded a three vessel bypass. Recovery from the surgery (they have to cut your sternum and deflate your longs to give the surgeon room to work) was a bi@tch, but like you I had no heart attack, so there was no cardiac rehab necessary. Back to work at home in a week, on the road for work in 10 days.
Trust me when it happens you will know you need to go to the ER., Bill and i have something in common.. Its not the rough either..I wonder how he knew he had to go to the ER very lucky he caught it before a heart attack
