Collegiate coaching history
Self spent the 1985-1986 season on Larry Brown's coaching staff at the University of Kansas. Between 1986 and 1993, Self was an assitant coach at Oklahoma State University under Leonard Hamilton, then Eddie Sutton.
After Oral Roberts University, in the 1992-1993 season, compiled its worst record, 5-22, in its history, Self was hired as head coach of ORU. In his first season at ORU, the team managed just six victories. Things improved slightly the following year where ORU won ten wins. In Self's third season at the helm, he guided the Golden Eagles to an 18-9 record. And in his fourth season, ORU registered a 21-7 record as the school made its first post season tournament appearance since 1983-1984 in the National Invitation Tournament.
Self soon left Oral Roberts for the University of Tulsa and spent three seasons, 1998 to 2000, there and recorded a respectable 74-27. While at TU, he made two NCAA tournament appearances in 1999 and 2000. In 2000, TU went 32-5, setting a school single-season record for victories, as well as sending the Golden Hurricans to the Elite Eight.
The University of Illinois hired Self, where he led that school to a 78-24 record over three seasons. In those three seasons, his teams achieved two Big Ten regular-season championships, a Big Ten tournament title, and three straight NCAA tournament appearances.
