Kansas statement on an incident that occurred following the Dec. 1 Nevada at Kansas men's basketball game.

Kansas Head Coach Bill Self - "Obviously in a hotly contested game like this one, emotions were high after the game. Coach Joe Dooley responded in an inappropriate manner to an exchange with a Nevada player."

Kansas Assistant Coach Joe Dooley - "I have great respect for the Nevada team. They played well tonight. I responded in a negative manner to something that was said to me following the game. I certainly apologize to the Nevada program and this is not the manner in which Kansas basketball should be represented."
