Former NBA star and coach Jacque Vaughn is taking his talents to college basketball. Kansas is set to hire the two-time NBA head coach as an assistant basketball coach, according to ESPN. Kansas head coach Bill Self had a role to fill with the retirement of assistant Norm Roberts.

Vaughn played at KU from 1993 to 1997 under coach Roy Williams. He became the Big Eight’s all-time assists leader and ranks third in program history with 804 assists. He was the 1996 Big Eight Player of the Year and earned second-team All-American honors.

One of the best point guards in Kansas basketball history is returning to Lawrence as the newest assistant coach on Hall of Famer Bill Self's staff.
