Ex-KU star and NBA coach Jacque Vaughn steps in as interim coach for No. 19 Jayhawks at Colorado

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Former Kansas standout and NBA coach Jacque Vaughn will serve as the interim coach for the No. 19 Jayhawks on the road against Colorado on Tuesday night while Bill Self continues to recover from a precautionary trip to the hospital. Self was taken to LMH Health late Monday after feeling unwell. He received IV fluids and was released, the school said in a statement, but the 63-year-old Hall of Fame coach did not make the trip with the Jayhawks to Boulder, Colorado. Self has missed several games in recent years because of heart issues, including the Big 12 and NCAA tournaments in 2023, when he had two stents inserted to help treat blocked arteries. Self had two more stents inserted last July. In those cases, longtime assistant Norm Roberts served as the interim coach; he retired from coaching after last season.
