Pretty simple. Since arriving at Kansas (starting in '03-'04), among active coaches from major conferences Self has:
- The most NCAA titles (tied with Pitino if you count the vacated title)
- The most conference regular season titles.
- The most conference tournament titles.
- The most top 2 NCAA seeds
- 3rd most Final Fours (behind Izzo and Calipari by 1)
- 2nd most Sweet 16s (behind Calipari by 1)
He has 26 conference tournament and regular season titles in 20 years at Kansas. Read that again. In that span, UConn as a university between our 3 coaches have 5.
Not crapping on Kansas or Self, but. Only 1 team, other than Kansas, has won a national title, Baylor. As good as B12 is, it has not translated to titles (3 total), in the time of comparison.
Other than UConn's 4 national titles, Louisville (2, 1-vacated), Syracuse (if you count 2003), Villanova(2) have won titles. Four teams with 9 or 8 titles.
You can make the case, UConn's lack of conference success could be because they seem to have played against tougher conference opponents. As evidenced by the national titles.
But again, Kansas and Self's success is nothing to scoff at.
