Find the money, hire monty. Keep walker on staff. Bring in Deon, or Rev to coach the bigs. Get a former head coach for the other assistant spot. Hit the ground running

2013: Groce and Illinois get screwed on an out of bounds call, paving the way for replay to come to college basketball
2017: Instant replay overturns a play and costs Groce his job
lol
Cuonzo Martin can't be a candidate if Cal doesn't make the NCAA tournament. Makes it look like Illinois has given up and resigned itself to being a mediocre program. People would laugh about firing a coach "for not making the NCAA tournament" and then hiring a new coach who had the exact same failure this year.
I don't think we should be arguing Sweet 16 berths meriting a head coaching hire. We tried that already.

Anyone with better insights on the above record?
Just going to the whole discussion of sample sizes and avoiding recency bias- the objection to cuonzo shouldn't just be that he's crapping out this year. It should be that he's made tourney 2 of 8 seasons before this and got eliminated in first round one of those two times. (Edited for typo)
You're right - I just can't find any of them in this beast of a thread... I think I'm still happy with a Cuonzo hire.Probably 5 or 6 versions in this thread already.

We need a post-game picture of Whitman.
Looks like Cal is going down and will miss tourney barring a miracle. I was a proponent of Cuonzo earlier in this thread but the way they have finished this season has soured me and he isn't on my list anymore.
I just don't think you can argue his resume is strong enough.
