Coaching Carousel (Basketball)

Since Chester was forced out (on the outs with Brad, recruiting philosophy/ Chester’s guys recruited over, whatever) should we be worried about Tim leaving? Thought he and Chester were pretty close.
TA isn’t leaving.
I was at the team hotel after the first round win waiting on the team to get back. I’ll told my buddy, creighton fan, how odd it was Chester was back in the lobby before the coaches and the team. It was very odd.

I thought Chester took over the defensive assignment or his re greatly increased towards the end of season.
Not true. Frazier was def coordinator
Brewer and Payne only listed on website
Hamer and Brad worked together on defense all season long. Ultimately Brad is the one who calls the shots and this was the defensive scheme he wanted to play despite the poor performances he felt confident in the scheme
Yes ... Chin is at Arkansas ...
Was out recruiting with Cal ... And just landed a 5 star this evening ...
I don't know why but I pictured you out with Cal landing a 5 star this evening.
No idea what you look like tho.
Karter signed with Cal. He is a great player.
Realllllyyyy???? So why did we let Hamer take the blame most of the year?
One of the insiders was pushing the Hamer blame during the season, but it’s mentioned in his team bio.
Hamer arrived at Illinois in the summer of 2019 after spending the previous two seasons on staff with the Los Angeles Lakers. He was an advance scout in 2019 after debuting as a coaching associate in 2018. Hamer handled opponent scouting, with a focus on defensive game planning, and created video playbooks on all NBA teams.
Either way, I think the biggest problem with the defense this season as it has been for years is inconsistent quality in the game plans made worse by sluggish or absent in game adjustments.
