This is why message board posters aren't AD's at Power 5 educational institutions. (okay, one of many reasons 
)
)
Just for clarification, that is not what my post said. The relationship has not soured, but there have been some up-and-down times. I am not at liberty to discuss this and would not be the right subject in a UI sports forum. Khan has made several contributions to UI, not only AD, the university as a whole. But he is not the person to open the wallet whenever or for whatever.
Actually, the University and administration came up with that idea, not the fans.

I've seen him at a couple basketball games this year.
Well, he just landed Charlie Moore from Chicago. Moore was a Mac Irvin kid too. So he already has some relationships in the city.

And Calimari doesn't win the Tournament every year even though his roster is filled with future NBA players...what's your point?
The NCAA tournament is so fun to watch because the best team doesn't always win, and it seems that there is always a Cinderellas crashing the ball!
I don't see Illinois being able to attract an established coach with an impeccable record like Bennett, Gregg Marshall, or Miller. If Whitman can do it, great. More likely he would have to go after someone like Cuonzo Martin, Frank Martin, Buzz Williams, or Ben Howland. I assume Drew is not likely because he's only been at Vanderbilt one year.
Cuonzo Martin would be a solid choice. He has connections in St. Louis and he's proven he can recruit in the toughest places to recruit in Chicago, i.e. Morgan Park. He's recruited 5 stars in Jaylen Brown and Ivan Rabb.
His coaching record is solid. His team's conference records improved at each school while he was there.
Missouri St. (3-15), (8-10), (15-3)
Tennessee (10-6), (11-7), (11-7)
California (7-11), (12-6)
These are the important things to look for, IMO.

Coach K lost to Lehigh and Mercer. What a loser.
1. Hawaii was really, really good last year.
2. Cal lost their leading scorer to a broken hand in the week leading up to the game.
3. Jabari Bird, another starter, didn't play due to back spasms.
So they were down 2 starters and lost to a good team. Man, he sucks.

Don't forgot one important fact. He was IN THE TOURNAMENT. At this point, I WISH we'd get upset in the first round. At least we were there.

To me, Gregg Marshall would be a grand slam hire but Cuonzo would still be a 2-run homer.
