All-famed coach, Kansas is Bill Self joins us on the Ion College Basketball podcast, and it's with good reason.

It's with special reason, because Kansas is part of a very special four part in docu series called Made for March.

It's going to air on CBS and Paramount Plus. The first episode will go up Saturday, April 4th on CBS.

It's been chronicling Kansas the entire season and we're about to see what's going to happen over the next few weeks here for the Jayhawks in the Big 12 tournament and the NCAA tournament. And it's a joy to be joined by Bill South. Bill, how you doing, bud? I'm good, Matt. I'm good. I hope his documentary is worth watching, you know, by us finishing strong.

Yeah, I mean, we'll see on that. And I will get to that. But can we go back to the very start, how you got approach for this and what made you say, yes, you're obviously you're good with a quote. You're a good guy as a coach when it comes to the media. But you even said, I'm going to quote you directly here in the press release. For over two decades, the Kansas Men's Basketball Program has been approached for a variety of all-access documentaries, and I have always turned them down.

So why was this time different?

I think from my perspective, I'm not saying anything, so don't read into this from a longevity standpoint.

But you know how you do something and you want to at least experience everything once?

I haven't put myself in a position to experience this because it seems like to me

there's always been something that's going on potentially within the program that maybe we may not

want out there quite as much, the I.E. investigation that occurred for a period of time. I've had I've had people

approaches forever and I'm like going, I don't want to give you access. That's not how we do things.

We keep everything in house. And you know what? I've actually kind of changed a little bit

in my latter years in how I think that, you know,

it's a lot easier if you can get the media to do all your work for you, as opposed to you

individually having to do it. I've always understood that, but maybe even more so now. And if you live

in a glass house, you know, you get rocks, you know, you know, stones throw at you. But also,

if you live in a glass house and you take care of your business, it can also be a very positive

thing as well. And I like where we're at. I like our players. And I thought this would be

the perfect time for me because I don't know how many more opportunities I'll have to do something

like this. And I love the crew and the company. And it's been, it's been good so far.

I'm going to, I've got to follow up there, but you just actually quickly, you allowed me the end.
