We outsiders have been in limbo, but I'd be surprised if BU doesn't have a good sense for how this is going to play out and hasn't already started implementing the contingency plan (if necessary). I'm expecting quick replacements if they leave (I'm assuming they will at this point).
I'm sure we have them lined up already
If I’m reading that correctly, if Chin Coleman leaves, it would be for a lesser role than he has here?
Maybe UK is waiting till the end of the week to announce the hires?
I read somewhere that OA will have a decision Friday, but who knows what is real anymore

Not much. It's tough extracting anything from them. You know the drill.
I concur! I want long term stability. I really thought Chin would for sure be around long time. Everyone knew that OA would eventually get another chance at head coach, but that would be his next stop, not a lateral move.
I may be wrong but don't you have to wait 10 days or so after the job available notice has been posted?

In the specific case of Powell I agree with you, but didn't UNC just elevate one of their assistants to an even higher prestige HC job? And Tommy Lloyd just got his first HC job at Arizona, not a mid major. I think if we were to have an absolute rock star AC, I'd be fine with them being brought in with the understanding they'd be next in line. I do agree Powell is not there yet.
There are always exceptions, but they are not without risk. I think the preferred route is being at head coach at a mid major versus a long time AC being elevated. As for Powell, he's on a great trajectory.
ILLINI. They not have empowered the UNIVERSITY, but others who were led to become a part of a great group of men and further a tradition that now has 
become legendary and easy 
***** but never duplicated. If you look at other Programs that is what they are doing-bringing in players that are solid youngmen that are GREAT LEADERS AND PEOPLE, that are well respected and genuinely interested in the development of their forever loved program 
EVERYDAY BROTHERS4LIFE. THE IRVIN'S are a energetic, deep rooted and consistently a great organization that has flourished and developed s number of Athletes who have played for the University of ILLINOIS and in the NBA.With this logic, we also have no reason to delay the announcement. The earlier we announce, we can begin our search for new assistants. I'd imagine a decision has not been finalized either way.
Yeah, he was at Newman all of the time. I lived there for a couple of years.
We're not going to announce that they're leaving. And we can explore new hires either way.

Love old Chicago with Peter and Terry. Kath was one of the greatest guitarists. This is my favorite performance of 25 or 6 to 4
