It would take a bit of cash, but Illinois should consider Tom Thibodeau as coach. It would help immensely in recruiting (being former NBA coach who coach USA olympic teams, coached NBA all star games, coached NBA MVP's, and is well known in Chicago). He wouldn't tolerate the nonsense that has gone on with Illini basketball and would have Illinois playing great defense. Furthermore, he has coached injury decimated rosters to the NBA playoffs and got players like John Lucas III, Nate Robinson, etc. play within his system to accomplish that success. Make Dee Brown who bleeds orange and blue an assistant coach to help acclimate Thibodeau to Illinois. If Illinois wants to get back to the years of going to the NCAA tournament every year, playing in sweet sixteens, elite eights, and final fours then Tom Thibodeau is our coach.
