Classic. I love this!
Where did Tim Anderson end up this year?
Not coaching

Taking a year off from work sounds great, if I'm honest.
Still collecting a salary?
Ryllini
- Lombard
He is earning his pay by liking and posting on his social media. Still grinding a bit
That seems odd a guy can just choose not to come to work anymore, but still collect a paycheck for an entire season. Maybe all coach's contracts are setup this way, I honestly have no idea. Or was it more along the lines of hey, you're going to be a distraction to us this season with your grievances so why don't you just sit this one out (and we'll still pay you)?
What did I miss? I thought he just quit.

This situation gets more and more attractive to me by the day. How do I sign up?
That's how it was presented to the public. But, he is still getting paid his full salary as far as we know.
Typically, with revenue-generating college sports programs, they guarantee most (if not all) of a coach's salary with set off rights. You get fired for poor job performance, usually the program is on the hook for most (if not all, again) of the remaining pay/contract $. With the exception being that if the coach is hired elsewhere within a specific timeframe, which then it gets a little more complicated because I think the $ on their new contract gets deducted from what the previous program is on the hook for? I could be wrong on that.
Anyhow, when a coach quits then he isn't performing on the contract, thus absent some exceptional terms, typically won't be entitled to any of his salary (unless there are deferrals or, again, some other exceptional terms or circumstances).
Maybe someone else with more knowledge than I have can weigh in.

I believe the announcements used more carefully worded language like "stepped away from the program" or something like that rather than saying he outright quit.
Or was outright fired. I could be way off, but I thought it was more a mutual agreement. Brad didn’t want him around recruits/team because his unhappiness would be a distraction, he wasn’t going to quit without another job in hand, it was late in cycle for him to get job he wanted and for Illini to bring in a replacement they wanted, and it was cheaper to pay him to not be around than to fire him.
I like Chester and hope he gets a HC job, but “one of the greatest guards in college history”?
Not bad for a guy who couldn't shoot. Remember teams not guarding him away from the basket. What was the record for the illini when one of the greatest, Chester, was playing?

Iowa is not in a great spot right now (LvilleILL1)

I think the shade is very much directed to the writer of the tweet, not Chet.
The writer did his job with the tweet - we are linking and talking about it. Mission accomplished.
Getting Fletched????
No wonder he recruited Sencire Harris. In all seriousness, I think he will be a good HC at lower levels.
The guy must realllllllly not like Tyler lol
