At the time he interviewed for MU's job in 1999, Bill Self was 97-76 for a .561 winning %, with 1 NCAA tournament appearance in 6 seasons and 1 total NCAA tourney win. The most victories he had in a single year was 23, and he had 2 seasons of 20 wins. This was accomplished as an independent and also in the WAC. He had never signed anyone at a national level.
Self was not an established mid major coach at the time. That happened afterwards. Quin was the right hire in my opinion, and Self is too dependent on cheating and having a massive talent advantage to have realistically succeeded at MU.
