you forgot to add ... /s . I'm sure you meant to.He hasn’t been an insider - just randomly guesses
I would be the first one to fire Chester to hire a coach like Antigua. If that clears it up for youI can’t tell if this is a “Welcome to big time basketball and we just did what needed to be done to have the best coaching staff available.” Or “Frazier was my guy and he got screwed in this process.”
I really hope we just move forward and try not to over analyze what may or may not have happened between Brad and Chester. I realize this is a fan board and speculation is a reason this exists, but I’d prefer to just think it was a situation where everyone needed something different and the chips fell well for all involved.
Got it, and I am fine with it.I would be the first one to fire Chester to hire a coach like Antigua. If that clears it up for you
David Ross for Craig Counsell type difference, Im gathering.I would be the first one to fire Chester to hire a coach like Antigua. If that clears it up for you
It had to be a Tyler/Chester thing. What was Chester’s title? Associate Head Coach? Then you have Tyler sitting right next to Brad talking to him all game.Could kinda see that all season on the sidelines by Chester's proximity to Brad.
Honorable, standing up for your pops like that.I would be the first one to fire Chester to hire a coach like Antigua. If that clears it up for you
Agreed. Whitman appears to completely understand the direction of collegiate athletics and the financial aspects (plus the personal desire for our school to succeed). Just like all my (and many of yours I'm sure) years in corporate America or running a business you have to consider the return on your investment and the value of every team member's contribution. BTW, I think Brad clearly gets that as well.Gotta give props to Whitman. This could never happen without his willingness to put up the money.
It's a fine line for me as well. It's the old risk/reward conundrum.I have always thought the /s takes the edge off an edgy joke.
I personally don’t think anyone is doing that. Seems that saying Antigua is a better assistant to have in staff is not a slam to Chester. To say that Chester and Brad had differences in opinion on how to recruit/ build roster is not crapping on Chester.Can we agree to not crap on our legacies on this board? No? Yeah, I guess that was asking too much.
Chester will always be an Illini to me. He played to the best of his abilities when he was here and he appeared to get as many quality kids as he could while he coached here. For that I am thankful.

Bad take. No one has crapped on Chester.Can we agree to not crap on our legacies on this board? No? Yeah, I guess that was asking too much.

Agree with both your GIF and your text. Like I said, that type of speculation keeps a message board going (for good and for ill).
I agree but…
We can be thankful for what Chester has done as a player, coach and alum, not thrilled with his tweets since he left, and happy yet again that we have OA on our staff instead of Chester. We can feel all of these things at the same time. None of these are mutually exclusive.Can we agree to not crap on our legacies on this board? No? Yeah, I guess that was asking too much.

To be fair, those are basically passive aggressive swipes at Calipari. So let’s not call them too classy…maybe just not totally classlessKentucky being classy? Well, color me pleasantly surprised. Thank you, Kentucky fans.
Yes. And this example is an acceptable one. Unlike many that leave me smh.Cognitive dissonance at its finest.
