I assumed all the coaches always live in the Trails at Brittany, which really does have astronomical housing costs
I guess astronomical is a relative term.

In fairness, I am a little surprised there is a neighborhood at that price point (per square foot) in the Champaign area. But you're right; it's relative.
Not just to Chin but to all of college basketball that UI intends to return to its proper place in the NCAA hierarchy.
Then why hire an assistant coach? Let the secretary for the head coach take those calls. I still think people are over hyping Coleman's expertise. He sure didn't lock down Chicago for the Illini. We will see what the next 4 years bring, but I don't think Coleman will get much recognition as a stud recruiter for Kentucky.

If on a par 5, you hit the first shot into the rough, lay up the second safely down the middle, and hole out for an eagle, are you worried about the drive in the rough? It is all about results.

Like the idea that both would be making the same, less chance for a perceived slight.
I don't follow pro BB at all, can someone please explain this "G league" to me?

Basically a farm system for the NBA that kids can go to, straight from high school and get paid.
So, like Kentucky.
OK thanks, and it's better than playing overseas? better chance to get in the NBA maybe?

Kentucky, except entirely above board and no classes (no matter how blow-off) so 100% of time can theoretically be devoted to getting better at basketball, but less exposure.

When in 6th grade?
Most G-League teams function as more of a minor league for the NBA. They can dip into that pool of players if there is an injury. The vast majority of players are guys who are trying to get back to the NBA or guys who never quite made it. Most people you see in the NBA who get a “10 day” contract are G-League players.There is at least one team, “Ignite”…possibly a second that is allowed to sign high school prospects. Those players are not, however, allowed to be added to a NBA roster. The advantages are, top notch competition against seasoned players, a six figure salary, no class, & lots of visibility for NBA scouts.
UPDATE: Chin is GONE. Who cares about Kentucky?!?!

How do you know he's not in 6th grade now? Last I checked Dan didn't have an age minimum for this message board.

ah, it's like a Triple A baseball team, then. thanks.
Absolutely, right to the highest jumping point to the NBA, no double A or single A. But looks like they all sign with Ignite, so same team - working on development, crafting game for NBA style of play - Euro leagues will have different style and not as much access to scouts. They may not make a lot in G league compared to NCAA (likely, depends on if you go to LSU or not) but it is at least 6 figures. Attractive to a 17/18 year old and their family. And selection is important - those that are offered are typically top 10 in the class, so good chance of going to NBA at some point. To be frank, I'm not opposed to this option at all.

Exactly. Btw, it used to be called the D League. That stood for Developmental League. Now Gatorade sponsors it and it is called G League.
