Self Strengthens KU Policy on Player Fan Interaction
Kansas coach Bill Self reiterates a strict policy prohibiting players from engaging with opposing fans during games and after events. He cites concerns about court storms and cites the Marcus Smart incident as context. He praises Missouri player Michael Sam for publicly confirming his sexuality and defends athletes who stand by their convictions. He notes Barbara Eden will attend KU game events, and comments on KU and K State players' rivalry with mutual respect off the court. Gipson leads KSU in scoring and rebounding as Foster commends his leadership.
