There is an eval period this weekend.
Don't mean to be rude, but Hamer seems like a total goober.

Wouldn’t we want someone in place before that occurs? What would be the benefit of waiting, unless we just don’t have anyone far enough along in the process? Sorry, I’m just not sure I follow what you’re laying down… please help an idiot today.
Firing him in a public place so he doesn't make a scene Bob Sugar style.
Hamer sweating something out.
That aged well
I would assume they have, along with incentives for Coach that he gives up if he leaves.
Here until retirement! Maybe the new assistant hire will be a person for the role when retirement day comes 
Yeah a 7th place big 10 finish and fumbling a winnable game against Kentucky in the round of 32 despite having two first round draft picks was such a fun season.
How could anyone forget such a historic game at Madison square garden against Duke either?

No NCAA rules in place for said coach until he’s hired

We took the same approach when TA was hired, IIRC.

Okay so no personal contact during evaluation period. So perhaps this future coach has a connection with Alex Constanza or another ‘26 recruit I take it. But also must not be a college coach elsewhere or they’d be subject to the rules for that school anyway.
I found a video of Hamer and Brad going to the snack bar shortly after this picture was taken.

And that is why Brad is getting paid the big bucks. I like that he is willing to play up to the gray lines to our collective advantage.
Hopefully with this new contract extension we will not have to hear about his agent talking to other programs. We have the guy that is committed for the long term of the program, and that is ideal with all the new developments surrounding the NCAA. We are all itching for a run at the Final 4, and Brad is the best chance we have at it (I say that even as a person who has been fairly critical of some decisions made over the past season). Brad has proven able to recruit at levels we have not seen for a long time, and it is only a matter of time before it all comes together in late March, IMO. As long as Brad shows the fire that we saw the last couple weeks of last season, we will be good.
I'm not sure how much the extension matters in terms of that. The Illini press release said he was extended three years, through 2031, but what really happened was he already had those first two extensions and just got extended one more year, with the continued opportunity for more extensions as long as he's performing.

If his agent was indeed talking to other teams in an effort to get him more money… it worked. Why would he stop?
