Highest paid?! Illinois is putting up...not shutting up!
I mean, Gonzaga turned themselves into a yearly power. Why the fudge can’t we?Honest question...do you really think we can be Kentucky or Duke? Its this unrealistic rhetoric that makes the fall so hard for people. We are much closer to Utah and LSU than we are to Kentucky and Duke. Ive never understood why we do this exercise.
We get a 5 star player once or twice a decade. We have a great team every 15-20 years. Now compare that to Duke and Kentucky.
Don’t worry. Iowa will fix it. A thorough investigation followed by firing the popcorn maker at Carver-Hawkeye who was clearly the root cause, and they move on.Speaking of Kentucky... check this out..
CJ Fredrick’s uncle says Iowa is being “childish” about transfer decision: “No school ever tampered” - NewsBreak
From the minute news broke late Sunday evening that Iowa sharpshooter CJ Fredrick was leaving the program and entering the transfer portal, Hawkeye fans took to social media to not only berate him for his decision, but accuse the Kentucky coaching staff of tampering. A simple search of Fredrick’s...www.newsbreakapp.com
Somewhere Fran is screaming at someone unrelated to any of this and probably calling them a cheater.....Don’t worry. Iowa will fix it. A thorough investigation followed by firing the popcorn maker at Carver-Hawkeye who was clearly the root cause, and they move on.
Slim, it was my dorm room freshman year in 1983 - 38 years ago. We only missed each other by 13 years. My freshman year the football team went to the Rose Bowl and the basketball team lost in the Elite Eight ironically to Kentucky at Rupp Arena (the Dickie Beale "no travel" call). I thought Rose Bowls and Elite Eights would be the norm226 Forbes? It’s been 51 years, but I might’ve occupied that room for a year.
I really hope that BU appreciates this, and doesn't ask for a raise, if they are paying that much for assistants to help him be as good as he can be. But what do I know?Absolutely love what JW is doing to make this happen. If they leave, then that really sucks but we did our best.
I’m sure a couple of assistants around the nation have taken notice and reached out to be the backup plansI really hope that BU appreciates this, and doesn't ask for a raise, if they are paying that much for assistants to help him be as good as he can be. But what do I know?
Well said.That does clarify it, thanks. To that I would say that they would be happy, but string several of those in a row without getting past that point and I think you see some changes.
That said, I would expect that at pretty much any program.
Based on his mom's twitter activity alone, I am highly suspect of this. She was liking/retweeting a bunch of different Illinois-related material today. That, plus him being an Illinois boy, plus us being one of the first (the first?) high-major to offer him, all suggests one assistant is going to make or break his commitment. Guess we'll see.You will probably be shocked then.
As your unofficial lawyer, I'll need to take that contract home with me and look it over.Honestly, what are people supposed to say? "I don't care if North Carolina offers me a trillion-dollar contract tattooed on Charlize Theron's butt, I'll never leave this job"? People leave jobs for better ones.
Dont worry. it's an elite contractAs your unofficial lawyer, I'll need to take that contract home with me and look it over.
We just finished the season ranked #2 and won the BTT.I really hope that BU appreciates this, and doesn't ask for a raise, if they are paying that much for assistants to help him be as good as he can be. But what do I know?
Would Illinois counter-counter offer or is that our last offer?He is potentially getting what, a 2x raise? Can't see everyone getting that kind of bump. They seem committed to keeping the culture so I'm sure they won't let discontent brew.
So, does AO's money go to Chen if he leaves for KY?Maybe but if OA signs with KY this costs JW nothing at all and his phone will be ringing off the hook with zillions of great replacement candidates hoping to become at least the second best paid asst. coach for us.
Heck this is probably even better than using Monster.com or Indeed to fill this position! LOL
I would think the head coach makes the big difference, not worried.........yet.Just for those of you doubting bass, he did a QNA on his Instagram story yesterday and someone asked why he chose Illinois. He responded with: “everything”
Watch it not and we get shunned by CPL like we did for hiring Lon.So, does AO's money go to Chen if he leaves for KY?
I think it is Chin, not Chen, and if Chin gets a KY offer, he'll probably also get a counter from JW, just a guess I'm not an insider.So, does AO's money go to Chen if he leaves for KY?
