It doesn’t matter if his resume is comparable or not. The message is to not overvalue or undervalue any coach because of one game or one tournament.
That stretch to close out the season and BTT was one of the most memorable and enjoyable stretches in my entire Illini fandom. Underwood took over from Groce and over the course of four years, built that.
If you and Tempo want to dismiss his abilities because of the Loyola game that’s your prerogative. You act like this was the only chance we’ll ever have. That’s pretty understandable given our history. I happen to think we’ll be in the tourney regularly going forward.
This has been explained to you in pretty vivid terms, but you’re still not understanding. Self and K fail at the highest level Underwood has achieved. Both of those coaches have won as many tourney games in a single tourney as Underwood has coached in. How does that not hit you in the head like a hammer?
