I bet its Chester. Amani is probably on the way out and Chester has had enough with his guys getting pushed out.
Exactly why I came over here from Illini Inquirer several months ago. The majority were decent posters, but there was a core group of very grumpy people. And the oddest thing - they were grumpier after a win than after a loss. Go figure! This board is an oasis of tolerance if you ask me.

Can an Associate HC recruit of campus? What are their duties?

To be honest, I think the jury is still out on Hubert Davis' actual coaching ability. There are games where I think he's great, and there are games where I'm sitting at the TV looking like this with some of his decisions.
Having the # 1 ranked team pre season 1-2 years ago and missing the NCAA Tourney was eye opening to me about his coaching skill..
Potentially two ... Per a source ...
It's just a fancy title ... 3 off campus recruiting assistants ...
And they paled compared to The Zook Menace . . .
Rats, was hoping it was just Jeff Alexander. Probably not fair to him, but I love what Anderson and Frazier brings in terms of the total package of an assistant coach. Would hate to lose either or both potentially.
Time will tell on Davis and Scheyer. Kevin Ollie flamed out fast at UCONN after National Championship. The change to NIL and Portal has neutralized the Duke, Kansas, KY, UNC recruiting advantage. Signing 3 McDAA every year who go to NBA or transfer means you are playing talented freshman vs SR transfer portal teams like Illinois. Nobody would have predicted unlimited transfers and NIL would have leveled the playing field.
Elite 8 blue bloods - Duke
Elite 8 others - UConn (Newton, Spenser) , Illinois (TSJ, Marcus, Quincy), Tennessee (Knecht) , NC State (5 transfer starters), Clemson Alabama (4 transfer starters)

We all see the Tyler promotion coming and I promise you I will try to behave as much as I can
What is it with this program and assistant coaches?
Good programs get guys poached.
Is Chester Frazier gone?

We pushed this time, but screwed up the timing and Mike Boynton is already at Michigan.
Life happens, but man it's a bit of a blunder.
Good assistant coaches get offered head coaching jobs all the time. It's a good thing.
Boynton is still on the table from my understanding ... Has not been officially announced at Michigan ...
Antigua potentially as well ... He's been back channeling ever since Cal accepted Arkansas job ... He took the guaranteed job last night but I have been told and have heard from coaches that Antigua is open to other opportunities ...
Do we know this is for a head coach position? And our entire AC staff left for other AC roles.
Well no, but our insiders have hinted at it for awhile. Or at least that someone may leave for a promotion.
Yep. But I think the issue at blood bloods is a bit more relying on prep players than the NIL. It's hard for them to not take the 5 stars.
True roundball fans know that the NBA is NOT better with their lack of defensive play. Good defense is a thing of beauty and it makes the times when the offense scores more meaningful.
It’s similar to baseball in this respect: Good pitching works against baseball offense... but good pitching itself is a thing of beauty. And as stated above, when the offense in baseball does score it is more meaningful when the pitching is sound.
In other words, bad pitching is like throwing batting practice during real games and everybody gets a home run. So what is the value of a home run off bad pitching? Very little in terms of lesser worth if everyone’s doing it. But a homer off a great pitcher means something.
About the time Jordan left the Association, things began to change and defense was starting to be ignored. And the Game has suffered. While today’s players are in many ways superior to those of previous eras... the Game itself is not as good as it was when great defense was played in the NBA. Yes... there actually was such a time for a while.
Old Bulls fans know that. Ask Jerry Sloan and Norm Van Lier and Bob Love and Artis Gilmore and Michael and Scottie... or better yet, the guys who were being guarded by them. Sloan and Van Lier in particular were defensive demons that drove NBA guards crazy.
Today’s NBA is a pinball scoring orgy.
As long as we don't take back Antigua. Most of his players sucked and it's no coincidence our team took off while Kentucky fell back after his career move.
