Dee? Didn't we just fire him?I think Fred Hoiberg with Dee and Roger as assistants would give you the names your needed to bring in the talent and Hoiberg has proven himself at the P5 level.

I feel like Fahey had a far deeper hole to dig out of (as hard as that may be to believe). That team is performing vastly better than I think anyone expected, and she's getting very solid players in each year. 0 fer is never easy to take, but I truly believe the women's team is on the right trajectory with Fahey.Both vastly superior to Fahey who is o-fer the conference.
Yeah, we're listing mightily so let's bring in a scum bag to right the ship. Hey, Larry Brown is available isn't he?
I as just gonna post this. Pretty crazy to do it know, mid-season. The pressure must have been building with the boosters.UCLA athletic director Dan Guerrero has decided to terminate Steve Alford as basketball coach

Teams? He only had one team, and he actually made adjustments with that OSU team that allowed them to make a run at the end of the season and make the NCAA tournament. Having Evans helped, yes, but they don't make the tourney without those adjustments. Underwood has failed to adjust here and if he doesn't then he will be looking for another job soon.
Any chance they would confuse Brad Underwood with Gene Bartow?UCLA athletic director Dan Guerrero has decided to terminate Steve Alford as basketball coach

Underwood has the rest of the season to show he can improve his results so far on the court and with recruits. Hopefully he will do that.
At this point I am worried we are going to fall into permanent irrelevance such as Rutgers and Penn St.
So far, we've only been putting L's in the win column.Imo Underwood needs to follow the Lovie model through this season and offseason.
First and foremost keep your roster together as much as possible. Another high turnover offseason would be devastating
He really needs to land Kofi and maybe another high end talent. This roster needs additional talent upgrade
Pursue a couple high end Grad transfers. This team and program needs to start putting W's in the win column

I've been an Illini fan since 2009 when I enrolled and we've gone through 7 coaches combined in football and men's basketball (Zook, Beckman, Cubit, Lovie; Weber, Groce, Underwood)...the total goes to 10 if you count women's basketball (Law, Bollant, Fahey). I can't remember a time when a coach wasn't on the hot seat, aside from the honeymoon period. I don't know if keeping Underwood is the right option, and I don't have a suggestion on what Whitman should do, but man I am so fatigued with coaching turnover.
If Underwood has another mass exodus, I don't know how he can survive it. We will be bad for the foreseeable future. If we can keep most of our guys and get them to be juniors or seniors we will improve even if we have the wrong coach/system in place.
And last week it was Mama Griffin ranting via Twitter and now the Frazier family kicking up their heels. Not good.
So help me out here. If we had played a typical Illinois non-con schedule and were 9-4 or 10-3 would this thread exist? Asking for a friend!
You're right... So is missing 17 free throws against Mizzou, and missing 18 layups against FAU... Can ANYBODY on this team make shots ????
Imo yes it would. I feel like fans, particularly ones on this board are far more educated with advanced metrics like Ken Pom and Sagarin. There is no longer the ability to hide behind an inflated easy record.
