Expect at least one, if not two assistants brought in.

It's the offseason and let me tell you, I could not be more ready for some...
Anything less than two is unacceptable …

I will be extremely disappointed if it isn’t at least two
Anybody get fired yet?

Hamer should have been fired before he got back to the locker room

It’s concerning that Hamer’s future at Illinois is even up for debate. How on earth does anyone vouch for him?
I m not saying we don't need changes but why are we so upset with an assistant than with Brad for not benching players that are turning the ball over at such a high click? What offense or defense he runs ir doesn't is on Brad allowing them to. Bench guys that aren't focused or any changes won't change the outcome.
Oh I’m not happy with Brad either …
But we can’t fire Brad … We can fire Hamer …
Brad & Hamer defensive scheme =
Bring in a new coach that knows what he’s doing and let him run it …

Unfortunately, our bench wasn't very good. DGL got smoked on defense and is at a size disadvantage. Not many options for KJ sitting
Same for the guy who hired him and never demoted the guy or had capable assistants to make adjustments.

INDY, question about the past 3 weeks. Not sure if it was the Purdue game or not, but you posted that Brad got info from others, (including) someone outside of the program on the defensive side and that helped win the game. What the HELL happened that he went back to Hamer's no adjustments defense.?
"If not" ... Yikes.
Staff makeovers a must for this offseason.
Season’s over, so can we finally tell the truth? We had a team with top 10 talent, in addition to the top ten coach salary and the facilities. Our “superior” offense is the result of talent, and the jacking up of open 3s with occasional pick-n-roll. Offensively we were bum slayers, destroying less talented teams on most occasions, but still getting knocked off by lesser talent when the jacking up 3s approach didn’t work. Those who think that the nepo coach did a great job with the offense are delusional.
Defensively we didn’t guard anyone all year.
This was a team with final four talent that was coached to a first weekend exit, once again not outperforming our seed. 9 for 32 from 3 is about what we are. That’s great if you are happy with an annual quick appearance in the Tourney.
Don’t be surprised as our best or second best future piece (MJ) walks, because he was horribly underutilized all year.
Texas just took away our best future option, so let’s hope that Josh at least compels multiple staff changes.

There is nothing we do strategically that makes us good. If we win, our talent over performs.Oh I’m not happy with Brad either …

Disappointed in this staff. We will bring in outstanding talent again and what will we do differently?
Just so I understand, Tyler and Hamer had same roles last year for the Elite 8 run?

Spot on!!!
I think this is very fair, for this just-concluded season. I think Underwood will think exactly the same thing, over the next few days: and he will be furiously wondering what can be done better? I hope he figures it out, for all of sakes.
There has been a hiccup with Sean Miller to Texas …
As in Brad has changed his mind?
