IMHO BU is playing this transition perfectly...
1. BU reminds our recruits that Kentucky had to purchase / import the culture & staff that BU envisioned & built ... because Cal couldn't do it on his own. (players having fun along with a tough and exciting brand of basketball)
2. BU continues to speak highly of Chin & OA after they leave. BU introduces Chester Frazier & at one point says he will be surprised if Chester isn't a head coach in 3 years. Why? BU was an assistant coach for a long time. He knows how much assistant coaches want to be affirmed and encouraged to go for it. BU is simply advertising his ability to develop coaches & his willingness to help them move up the ladder!
3. BU's non-anxious presence is reassuring to players, new recruits, and soon to be recruits... I believe this is why nobody is jumping ship.
4. I'm convinced we have the perfect coach for IL basketball, especially given the tenuous state of college basketball right now!
