Bill Self dismisses Spurs rumors

Reacting to ESPN’s college basketball analyst Seth Greenberg’s prediction he will be the next Spurs head coach with KU Sports, Self flatly denied it and went as far to say he and friend R.C. Buford have not spoken about the job. “Well first of all, I haven’t talked to Seth in five or six months,” Self began. And secondly, and most importantly, I haven’t talked to (Spurs GM) R.C. (Buford) ever about (the job), and he was in my wedding and I was in his so I’ve known him pretty well and we’ve never once discussed it. And thirdly, I think it’s kind of an insult to the Spurs because they have the greatest coach maybe our sport’s potentially ever known — certainly the NBA one of the two or three best of all time for sure. So, yeah, there was absolutely zero truth to that.”
