Updated March 18, 2023[3]

*In 2023, 11 regular season wins, the Jayhawks regular season Big 12 title, Big 12 Tournament championship, NCAA Tournament appearance, and Final Four appearance in the 2017–18 season were vacated by the NCAA due to recruiting violations.

Notes

^A. In 1919, Karl Schlademan coached, and won, the first game of the season before relinquishing the coaching position to Allen in order to concentrate on his duties as head track coach.
^B. In 1947, Howard Engleman coached 14 games (going 8–6) after Allen was ordered to take a rest following the 13th game of the season. Engleman was never officially a head coach at the university.[4]
^C. In 2022, Bill Self served a four game suspension for recruiting violations. Norm Roberts was acting head coach during the suspension. Self also missed all 5 of the Jayhawks postseason games but received credit for the postseason victories.[5]
