Maybe "Towel Boy" doesn't mean what we think it means?

That list of states for NBA assistant coaches is certainly a little odd. Didn't realize that Hawaii has an NBA team now.

I checked salaries for assistant NBA coaches. The average salary is $39 K. Not a lot of money in todays college market. Randle could get a nice bump at Illinois. Whitman is not afraid to pay for top coaches.

If Randall is the guy, that would be pretty damn good, IMO. Assuming he does well, I'd imagine he'd be on deck.

Randle wants to come to be a Special Assistant?!

Yeah, go ahead and sign me up...

Do we know who our Towel boy will be next year yet?

After sleeping on it overnight with his favorite pillow, a deal has been cut with the man who knows his towels, as well...

A descendant of Jerry Tarkanian?

It just came from a flat-out wrong website: https://careerexplorerguide.com/nba-coach-salary/

I don't know how I missed knowing about the NBA teams in Vermont and Hawaii.

Assistant NBA Coach Salary In Different States​

Even though an average salary of an assistant NBA coach is $39,226 but there are some states in the US where assistant coaches are paid quite well. Have a look at the list of the top 10 highest paying cities of assistant NBA coaches:

1. Napa, CA – $56,000
2. Cottage Grove, MN – $49,000
3. San Antonio, TX – $48,000
4. Urban Honolulu, HI – $44,000
5. New Brunswick, NJ – $41,000
6. New London, CT – $39,000
7. Eugene, OR – $39,000
8. Kingman, AZ – $39,000
9. Detroit, MI – $39,000
10. Burlington, VT – $38,000

That being said, I think it's safe to assume Randle is probably being paid $150K or less in Phoenix, and we could give him a big raise to move to Champaign.

Speculation alert. How about Mike LaTulip as the asst to the head coach. Can’t take the job until the tournament is over and has done a great job with House of Paign. He is already a recruiting manager just not in basketball. I would consider him a Home run hire at that position. No idea of current earnings but I suspect less than anyone in the NBA.

 

[IllinoisssssssVarsity]

How about Trevor Anzmann? He was also a big ten walk on in the mid 2010s, popular on his own campus and with teammates.

He’s also 5’11/175 and even kinda looks like Mike LaTulip!

I like it not a bad idea at all. I will say Randle in that role would be mind blowing for me. NBA champion AC to AttHC seems odd

Never was, period!

It was, we just hadn't told Randle yet that it was a thing.
