How A Clever Kansas Play Went Viral And Took Over College Basketball ↗
The play, known as "Chop," was created by Self prior to the 2006-07 season. Since then, it has become a go-to option for Self late in games, and it has spread so widely throughout college basketball, via imitation and adaptation, that ESPN analyst Fran Fraschilla has taken to calling it "America's play." He says: "It has a hallowed place in college basketball's virtual playbook." You might see Kentucky's interpretation of the play in tonight's championship game.
