Underwood, OA, and Chin are all three very much apart of bringing Illinois back. Without any one of those three, I hate to think what would have been the "new rockbottom." We all remember those days, right?
I have absolutely zero hard feelings with this. From a professional standpoint I do think both OA and Chin are taking a risk here.
From a glass is half full perspective, it's UK, a true blue blood. Should be that much easier to recruit, coach, and win.
From a glass is half empty perspective, another sub .500 season with Cal and his seat will be the hottest of hot seats in the country. He may not get another year. Might be the only place left in college basketball with those type of expectations, but they are real. New coach typically means new staff.
With that said, I'll be shocked with anything less than 1-5 seed in next year's tourney from UK. Good luck and thank you OA and CC!
