Ok, say he’s only the 15th best player in college basketball. You’re still pretty unlikely to get better “because” he’s gone.

we aren't going to get better because he's gone, we're going to get better because of what remains and what we have added

Ayo was pretty ball dominant and there were a few times last year where it was "everyone stand around and watch Ayo operate"

but I don't think that anyone would say we'd be worse if he stayed another year

wish we had Georgi back too but whatever

Again, that’s an indictment of the coaching, if anything.

So you admit Underwood didn’t coach the team up.

I don't think so.  The first reference to the topic came from you, I believe.

So you admit Underwood didn’t coach the team up.

I said it about 40 times last season: For all Underwood’s talk about positionless modern basketball, he and his staff went out and built about a very traditional roster. A roster built to win in the B1G, which it did at a high level, but not one built to match up well with the likes of Baylor or let’s say a UCLA.  Or *gasp* Loyola.

So my main criticism isn’t really his coaching acumen but rather the roster construction. I get that Illinois doesn’t get first pick of the guys they want and you can’t turn down guys like Kofi.

So he and the staff reworked their entire scheme around having a guy like Kofi and managed to win the B1G by half a game, blow out the league runner up by 23 at their place without Ayo, win the BTT, and land a 1 seed.

Then the B1G got absolutely pantsed in the tourney against quicker more athletic teams with non-traditional bigs and better three point shooting. Underwood went out and got Payne and Plummer to address those needs to shore up the roster. Guess we’ll see what he can do with them.

Hey, at least we are arguing about basketball and not somebody eating somebody’s asshole.

It’s a low bar in the cesspool.
