Kansas’ Bill Selt ‘disappointed’ in Naadir Tharpe and photo scandal
By Mike Dyce
Kansas superstar Andrew Wiggins held a press conference today to announce that he was declaring for the NBA draft. Afterwards, Kansas head coach Bill Self was asked about the questionable and inappropriate photo of junior point guard Naadir Tharpe that had been circulating the internet.
“Obviously, we are aware and had it brought to our attention this weekend. Certainly extremely disappointed with what transpired and the judgment that went along with it,” Self said, via Gary Bedore of KUSports.com“To say anything else publicly would be something that would be inappropriate at this time. It will be handled internally. It will be addressed, and it will be handled internally.”
The photo isn’t necessarily the most egregious you’ll see (Deadspin has the picture), but it isn’t great for a college athlete at a program like Kansas to have out there either. It looks like a naked Tharpe has a girl hugging him with a somewhat see through white shirt on with her chest out.
