"He's been on the road for the past seven seasons in the coaching profession and I was pleasantly surprised when he contacted me when this position opened," Self said of adding Case to the program. "Hopefully this will be a stepping stone that will allow him elevate himself in coaching. He has always been a great ambassador for Kansas basketball."

"I was only there (as a graduate assistant) for one year," Case told the Journal-World on Friday. "So I didn’t really get to see the behind the scenes stuff a whole lot. It’s absolutely night and day. As a player, you look at things completely differently than you do as a coach. You don’t look at certain things and you even take some of them for granted."
