Video footage of Snoop Dogg’s performance landed on social media.
“I didn’t know there was going to be anything like that,” men’s basketball coach Bill Self said Friday night, via the Kansas City Star. “I was told this was radio edited and everything else.”
Self added: “[I] went back in the locker room. I didn’t listen to or see the majority of what went down. Certainly I got a pretty good idea based on the first couple songs.”
Snoop Dogg’s performance happened at the end of the night and lasted about 35 minutes, according to ESPN.
“That’s not the direction that anybody at our school would want that to go at all,” Self said. “Regardless of the entertainment that it provided many, it was still not the right way to provide the entertainment.”
