If we flame this coming year (looking highly likely), or miss the tournament or make it and lose first weekend, then I think Whitman is in a tough position.

BU isn't going anywhere on his own though, fully guaranteed contract to the tune of 9.5 Mil? Even if Whitman wanted him gone, he would I think, have to have a really good Coach already agree in principle behind the scenes in order to get any buyout $$ forked over, why else try to make the move.

ILLINI fans can only hope that BU finds other ways to motivate. Some kids like and need the Army style, others well they need coddled...not right, but it is the current needs of some kids, athletes or not.


I think we will without question be adding veteran players addressing our needs so very hard to predict where we will be at. The only question is how good they are and how they fit together.

If Tempo had an ounce of creativity, he would make a Strawman mult and just post as that.

And again, I certainly never said the words “fire him…” so it looks like I might not be the only one with a reading comprehension problem.

Pretty sure I even said something to the effect that firing him now would look pretty ridiculous or indefensible. Repeatedly, I’ve said or implied that if he got hired away or chose to leave. I think “firing” Underwood right now would look ridiculous. Unless…you KNEW you had a heavy hitter in the bag. Say, Sean Miller.

It would have to be for a HOF level coach or something close and on the rise.

Agreed, just not sure we can get a HOF type of coach here? Miller might be the best option, but with everything in the past happening, who knows, he may never leave.

Hmmmmm..... what HOF level coach would come to a program that has not seen a S16 in 18 years?

Best bet would be a proven younger coach who players really like playing for.

Really most all of these coaches are just a guy and they run mostly the same shit.

The differences are who can recruit. who can get buy in, who can develop, who can gameplan, and who can adjust in game.
Our guy is a a decent recruiter (B), and average at best (C) at the rest.

Pitino probably would have taken this job. Miller might (and according to some it’s been in the works, but I don’t necessarily buy that). Not that Miller is a HOFer yet, but he’s still young. Musselman or Oates aren’t necessarily HOFers but their trajectories are pointing up. Again, I’d only be for canning Underwood if you had an absolute home run hire already in the can. Which would be unlikely.

Was a big fan of Oats prior to that entire debacle....not sure what the hell he or the university was thinking. Really bad optics and morals displayed imo. Sellout for what amounted to nothing return really from that day forward except a game winning shot in one game?

Agree.

And Pitino is a total scumbag and over 70.
Miller is also a scumbag.

Musselman would be good.
But he has a great job already.

Illinois is not what we think it is.

That said, the guy we have now is in danger of being a never was.
