Yeah that's the thing. You gotta hire a guy with at least peripheral connections to an area. Connections with people is huge and if you have no time spent in an area, you have to try to come in and make connections. That sets a programs time to recover back quite a bit. Recruits and coaches in the area proceed with caution and there are ample opportunities for missteps. Chicago is tough to navigate and deal with as far as relationships. A guy with no experience there is a stranger in a strange land. Not every guy who can coach is a possibility. LK is a great coach and other than his time with the Bulls and Bucks, has no Midwest ties, connections experience. This is why is am not a Keatts guy either. We don't have time for a guy to come in and create relationships and expect to compete against guys with established connections particularly in the Chicago area and our home recruiting zones (K, Izzo, Self, Painter, Beilein, Crean, Wojo, Pitino, etc)
