On this episode of The Jayhawker Podcast, host Nate Bukaty sits down with former KU basketball star and current Kansas assistant coach Jacque Vaughn. The two reflect on Vaughn’s incredible journey — from leading the legendary 1997 Jayhawks, to a standout NBA career and coaching in the pros — to now returning home to Lawrence. Vaughn shares stories about how that unforgettable ’97 season shaped him both on and off the court, the coaching philosophies he brings from his time in the NBA, and his thoughts on this year’s Kansas team featuring the talented Darryn Peterson.
