People aren't really over reacting.. it's built up over the last 2 coaching staffs and people are tired and frustrated with the product put on the floor. Our defense is bad and we have several players that shoot almost every time they touch the ball for fear that they won't get it passed to them again. I am done watching Groce led teams, it's just not fun anymore. We should never, I repeat, NEVER get beaten by 20-30 points. Talent is wasted on this coach, and the fact that Tate still sees any minutes is proof enough that we need a new coach.
If we got Lovie in football, I'm excited to see what Whitman can do with basketball. It's time to open your eyes and realize that we are spinning our tires and sinking further into the mud. Anyways, I'm done ranting, but people need to wake up and stop blindly supporting bad basketball. I feel bad for the kids and want to support them, but the madness needs to stop.
X2 This program is toast. Groce cannot coach, he has the talent but doesnt seem to develop it. It is maddening to be an Illini basketball fan, I want to keep my sanity and I will stop being a fan until the University itself proves it cares. From my perspective being a bottom feeder in the B1G doesnt seem to bother enough people.
