HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Naismith Hall of Fame coach and two-time national champion Bill Self will be presenting the second Dillon Lecture of the 2023 Series. Self’s lecture will be held Tuesday, April 18 at 10:30 a.m. at the Hutchinson Sports Arena.
"We're excited to have him here," said HutchCC spokesman Denny Stoecklein. "We've had great response. Historically, we sell some tickets in advance, but not a significant number. It's a general admission event. We have seen a significant increase in the advance ticket sales for this one, and even added a few more patrons that want to have the opportunity to go to the patron luncheon with Coach."
Tickets to the lecture will be available beginning at 9:45 a.m. the day of the lecture at the Hutchinson Sports Arena. Self's medical issues that came forward during the run up to the NCAA tournament are unique among DLS speakers, at least in the time Stoecklein has been with the school.
"In the eight years I've been at the college, almost eight years, the only thing that I can think of off the top of my head that has impacted it was not them, but it was COVID."
2023 is the 42nd season for the Dillon Lecture Series on the HutchCC campus. For more information on the Dillon Lecture Series or to become a patron, visit www.hutchcc.edu/dls or call Becky Rogers at 620-665-3505.
