I think his success has more to do with Phil Knight and that massive pile of Nike money than his actual coaching ability

would Dana have been able to lure top recruits to Illinois with small time thinker FURG at the helm?  probably not

Agreed. We can play “what if” all day long, but the circumstances are way different here than there. Even more so at that time. I don’t think a guy like Altman gets the recruits here like he can at a place like Oregon. Nike has a whole lot to do with his success there imo.

But honestly, who the fuck cares. Hypotheticals are pointless. It didn’t happen. Move on. Damn this is so redundant. And somehow Tempo is gonna try to claim he’s “right” somehow in this thread eventually.

No, there’s no way to prove that; but it’s a reasonable assumption. It’s funny how you always try to make everything about me. I was just basically giving a cap-tip to Altman for having a solid career, and pointing out how close we might have been to living a pretty different Illini experience the past 15 years. Of course, I can’t prove anything, but it likely would have been much better than ‘07-‘18. Altman seems to be maybe a slightly lesser version of Lon Kruger, and I think that could’ve been alright.

My apologies. I guess it is a message board and that’s what these things are for. I guess it sometimes irks me that you’re constantly playing the “what if” game and then eventually use it to somehow try to prove you were “AOTC” or “right” in some manner. I don’t mind the discussion, but it appears you’re really the only one who does that on here and I know I’m not the only one who thinks that. So there is some legitimacy to it. I suppose I’m just waiting for the “I gotcha moment.”😂

If not and it’s just an honest discussion, then my apologies. Carry on.....

Dana got one game farther than we did by beating our rival that we swept for the season. No one but Oregon and Iowa fans will remember this Oregon team. Tons of CBB fans will remember what Illinois did in that stretch in Feb and early March. And unfortunately for the early tourney exit as well. Maybe they’ll wake up here.

The latter, definitely; the former, doubtful.

That was a short-lived comeback.
