I think the delay in announcing information about Chin and Orlando doesn't bode well for us. Kentucky has potential reasons to postpone making an announcement. They've just publicly posted the positions and recently lost a play in a tragic accident. I can see why they might hold off.

We, on the other hand, have no reason not to announce that both coaches have accepted new contracts to remain at Illinois. Unless they haven't.
This is where I am. Hope I’m wrong, but the timeline and who is reporting everything favors Kentucky.

Yes, but none of it has been made public yet.

If negotiations are ongoing, I wish I could see them. I'm an Illinois alum and lifelong fan, but I can't imagine what we could be offering that would drag negotiations out a week against freakin' Kentucky basketball.

If they are leaving - it better be announced in the next 24hrs. Will be a bitter taste in my mouth to drag this on for this long during the heat of recruiting and coaching carousel. Shouldn’t take 2 weeks to decide...hopefully our initial thoughts are true that the longer is drags out the better our chances are.
I’ve considered them gone for awhile now. We would have announced the new contracts. I’m sure we have feelers out and already have a great list of coaches I’m not happy that we can’t post our job and have to wait on Kentucky.

Maybe the staff is going through group counseling to see if they can work out those alleged differences.

I don't agree with the thinking that if at some near date we brought on Roger Powell and he was a top assistant here for 5 years he would first have to leave and coach at some mid major before he could be a head coach here. In the NBA you have a few scenarios 1) You have an older coach with a mix of young and old assistants and 2) You have a younger coach with a mix of old and younger assistants. In 5 years he will be 43!!!!! How old do want him to be before he would be a head coach 50+?????

Seemed to have worked out pretty well for our current head coach!

Is it common for a school to announce renewed contracts for coaches? I assume most coaches sign renewed contracts every few years without fanfare.
