I think one reason for not being transparent early on regarding Self not coaching in the tournament was to help secure as high a tournament seed as possible. The seeding committee will penalize teams with missing and injured players that are not at full strength.
They don’t hold an end of season press conference, I seem to remember Bill talking to the media via press conference at the end of each season, may be it was held closer to the last game then it was this year but it seems to me he had a end of season presser? I also don’t think ku or anybody needs to respond to stupid rumors started by bored people on Twitter, if that was the case teams/programs would be having a press conference every other day
Self normally speaks to media at the team banquet unless the team wins the title. Understand your point, though. This has been such an abnormal situation, and I think it's been handled poorly.. which is indicative of a larger way of operating. All my opinion, though.
I know this isn't a "if I write this, everyone will agree," type of piece.

In hindsight, being a 2-3 seed anywhere but the West almost undoubtedly would have been better than being the 1 in the West
"Transparency matters." - 100 emoji on all of this, Mike.
Good info Mike. How about some hearings on incoming transfers now? :)
haha I'll probably get back to the transfer stuff tomorrow.

Well said Mike. I really enjoy your email/hearings!!!
Thank you!! I so appreciate hearing that
I 100% agree with your views and the lack of communication from KU!
