Not seeing where your getting your stats from
Jerry Colangelo will be very involved in picking the next coach.
So scratch Sam Hinkie off the list then?
I had heard the opposite: that Colangelo remains fairly disinterested in the hoops program. If something changed, I'd be interested to find out what happened.

Guenther and Jerry are really close and Whitman takes advice from Guenther.
Welp, my confidence is at an all-time high.
LOL, ditto.

I seriously just lost a lot of respect for Whitman if this is true. Guenther is still finding ways to be the anchor strapped to the UIUC athletic department.

Keep in mind the two coaching hires that made a legend of Pat Richter were a guy with no head coaching experience and only two years experience as a defensive coordinator and a Division III coach whose two year foray into D1 with UW-Milwaukee netted a 30-27 (13-15) record.
It's not the flashy hire, it's the right hire. The two can be the same person sometimes, but know the difference.

Conference standing on espn I see is
08-09 4th
09-10 1st
10-11 tied 4th
11-12 2nd
12-13 2nd
13-14 7th
I'm going only on coach before Martin and that was Montgomery
He's definitely someone I've looked at, but with resources and talent that dwarf the rest of that joke of a conference they're in, he really hasn't shown all that much.
Illinois can do MUCH better.
The only slight way I bring Groce back is if plays the young guys to get a them some experience. And it's still a great night shot.

Ugh You are right a couple of them were ties with multiple teams. My apologies. I haven't even been drinking tonight
Oh no worries. I want the team to win and don't want to have to do this again. It's my fear that we will just be mediocre under Martin because that's about where his teams usually play.

That 2010 conference title was their first since 1960. Calling them a "top 3 team" in the PAC-12 is a bit over the top.

This is a good point. I don't know about the defensive side, but running the swing offense and having Malcolm post guys up from the 2 or 3 position, with Mav and Finke pulling the bigs away from the lane could be great. Of course, neither TJL, JCL, Tracy or Tate have the size Bo would look for in a guard... and nobody on our team aside from maybe Kip and Leron play defense like Bo demanded.

Are there any true "Plan A" guys out there? Unlike the last time Illinois needed to hire a coach, there really aren't any huge names in the mid-major world out there like Shaka or Stevens.
A case could be made for Tony Bennett I guess, but even that wouldn't have me really celebrating. And there's really no chance of that happening.
Got it, so there's nobody who will meet your unreachable criterion, especially considering status of our job right now :hand:
