The rollover doesn't mean anything. It's more symbolic than anything. The important thing is the buyout. Here is what I found on that.

"As for the buyout, if Self is terminated without cause, the Jayhawks will owe him a full year of salary ($5.41 million), plus whatever he had earned on his contract for that year (including the retention bonus)"

Even if that was a full two years of salary for about 11mil, that really isn't that big a deal to a place like Kansas for a coach like Self. That's barely more than what Indiana paid Archie Miller to go away. Yes, it's a lot of money. Self is also one of the most accomplished coaches in the game, still fairly young (58) when compared to many of the elite coaches, and has been about as consistent as you could possibly be there.

Yes. The magic of The Contract was the combination of no buyout plus the automatic rollover.

Makes no sense. No way a Kansas coach leaves for anywhere, even a job as good as UNC.

Well ... Shirley, to elaborate, I'm of the opinion that the wine 'n cheese crowd in Chapel Hill wouldn't take kindly to a smarmy coach who's not part of the 'brotherhood'.

Incidentally Vince Carter was on NBARadio shading duke for stealing the 'brotherhood' thing.

Rumors of Moser to Oklahoma
If he doesn’t have his agent start up a side conversation with UNC before he signs the contract, he’s a fool. At the very least, he’s got an insane amount of leverage with any contract right now, until he actually signs.

I am surprised Moser left LUC for the job at Oklahoma. Not that he left, but that OK was his choice.
OU is a deceptively good program without the intense media pressure to perform. They have several Final Fours and NCAAT appearances but have never sealed the deal. You can basically go there and do your thing while Lincoln Riley takes up all the space.

Was poking around on the Inside Carolina board to read the latest on the coaching search.

The thread with the latest is up to 14 pages in less than 2 hours. Amazing.
