Much like Coach K coached the US part-time, I'd suspect so.

Wasn't the interview for the Head Coaching job at Texas (his alma mater)?
Would be great, but he's another one who would have to leave his job as assistant coach on a potential NBA championship team to be an assistant in Champaign...

It is. Coach K has been the most recent coach of the US team.
He's only using the Illini so he can get a pay increase. /s
I think there are a couple 7’ tall kids from South Sudan playing for the Brad Beal Elite 2024 team. Would be nice if he could develop a BBE pipeline as they’re the premier program in St Louis
I mean if his goal is to be HC at Texas they may have given him feedback that he needed to know the college game better before taking over a program like the LonghornsWasn't the interview for the Head Coaching job at Texas (his alma mater)?

The Nets have 9 assistant coaches. While Ivey has some experience, he's not the Nets' top guy (that'd be Jacque Vaughn and Mike D’Antoni). An NBA assistant coach can make anywhere from $100,000 to over a million (a huge gap and extremely hard to nail down exact salaries from my quick research). Say Texas told him he needed college coaching and recruiting experience to be considered the next time around. Theoretically, we could give him the experience he needs to be a college head coach and pay him more than he's currently making. Now is it likely? I mean, it makes about as much sense as anything right now.Wasn't the interview for the Head Coaching job at Texas (his alma mater)?

But he's not a former Illini. Don't you know the rules?
This board would be a social psychologist’s dream. Someone throws out a random name, due to a discussion that perhaps Underwood has a NBA assistant coach in mind and needs that person’s season to end before making the hire official, and others run with it and start looking into recruiting ties this coach may possess, discussing salary factors, and hypothetical conversations he had with another school after being passed over for their head coaching gig. At least it’s entertaining while we await actual news.

I'll take a somewhat educated guess over listing former Illini with zero coaching experience all day, every day.

It is too late for me to edit this, so let me just say I didn't watch it to the end and was not intending to flame someone. Really I just laughed at the first 80% of the gif. Whoops.
Sorry, @The Galloping Ghost
