BASKETBALL

The number of former Jayhawks on the basketball coaching staff just grew.

Kansas coach Bill Self announced that former guard Michael Lee will be a graduate student manager for the basketball team. Lee is the third former player on the staff, Danny Manning and Brett Ballard also coach.

Lee played for Kansas from 2001 to 2005 and helped the Jayhawks to the Final Four twice. Outside shooting was his main strength. Lee made 50 percent of his three-point attempts his first two seasons.

“It feels really good to be back,” Lee said in a release. “It’s funny, when I left I said I would never come back, but the longer I was away I realized Kansas is a part of me. I fell in love with Kansas from day one and I will be a part of Kansas until the day I die.”
