In addition to what they did with Self, look at Sampson. Pearl. Calipari. Will Wade. Pitino. And the list goes on and on and on.
This is where minorities and advocates of minority candidates should be furious. Giving these known and proven cheaters another gig over well-qualified candidates is appalling.
This is the case in all fields in America. I see administrators in my field get recycled who have banged their staff, had multiple affairs, alcohol/drug issues, lost agencies lots of money, were sanctioned for major contract violations, or simply ran a place into the ground, etc., land new gigs making serious money over and over.
Failures or even crooks get repackaged and recycled and some new employer thinks they are getting experienced guy who was an innocent victim in a misunderstanding, or a rehabbed better version of someone who did something in the past that was mildly successful.
Some guys make a whole career out of marketing some minor success they had in the past and it somehow erases their chronic failures and even criminal behavior.
We just had 4 years of it.
It's America.
