OA is gone, should be announced soon. Still waiting to hear on Chin.....Ok so I will start this off? Anything official been announced with either Chin or OA? Or still all speculation or rumors?

Yeah but if they delay too much we want to get it made official and the position posted as soon as possible. I’m sure they’ve communicated with OA on the timing.Departing schools do not announce the leaving coach, the new schools generally make the announcement.
I think you might have blacked out a couple of weeks following the Loyola lossOA has a few minor details to attend to prior to his departure. He's not leaving "ugly". Don't be surprised if this takes more than a "few" hours. Not as simple as turning the light switch off and puff it's dark. Who would have thought that we could be in this mess less than 3 weeks ago when all was well at the BTT championship celebration. Not me!! Go Illini
What does this entail? Anything to do with guys he's recruited but aren't yet on the team?OA has a few minor details to attend to prior to his departure. He's not leaving "ugly".
Definately sounds like OA is gone and Chin possibly. Just hope we don't key players.So we are waiting on....... Some Chin Music!
To me, the fact that OA was not at the BTT half-time celebration was the first red flag that something was up.OA has a few minor details to attend to prior to his departure. He's not leaving "ugly". Don't be surprised if this takes more than a "few" hours. Not as simple as turning the light switch off and puff it's dark.

Any speculation on when Illinois posts the Asst Coach job?OA has a few minor details to attend to prior to his departure. He's not leaving "ugly".

Pretty sure he was 100% about that while he worked here. I don’t think he’s leaving because he was ambivalent about Illinois’ success. Similarly, whomever we hire cares little about our success right now, but will be 100% about it once hired.While we want him to stay, if he isn't 110% in to getting the UI, and no one else no matter what, to a national championship then we wish him well and look for someone who does.

Timings only bad if a player or commit leaves bc of an assistant leavingPeople are making much too much about the posting of these positions. We can post whenever we want, search whenever we want, and we can extend offers whenever we want. We just can't officially hire someone.
I'm also a bit mystified when people share concern about the timing being bad. The 2021 recruiting season is all but done and I'm guessing that we'll be fine in the transfer recruiting process which I anticipate to extend well into August.
Sturdy on WDWSWhere did you hear that?
Gentry offered AC job at Gonzaga.
So complete overhaul of the staff? All 3 potentially?
