respect my decision™
Did Lovie's son attend the University of Illinois? Did Lovie's son play college ball at Illinois? Was Lovie's son respected as a teammate by other players at Illinois? Was Tyler hired for an assistant coaching job? I think you're stretching quite a bit to say that these two situations would remind you of one another.
The guy is a troll.

Actually I thought at 1st it was...can anyone clarify the differences? For the record I'm fine with this.

We are gonna be known as Nepotism U if we keep this up! /s
Not hardly. Keep what up? I cannot remember Lou Henson's kid coaching here, or Bill Self's, why do people on here just look to the negative on everything? Lovie hiring his kid and we wont count Cubit as that fiasco was a joke has nothing to do with this. TU has been a coach in waiting and he looks like a nice hire for the position. TU is respected by the players and has been around quality coaches his entire life. Eddie Sutton hired 2 of his sons to his staff, Bob Knight hired his son, what is the big deal? I trust BU here as he has earned our trust. He has probably seen the inter workings of recruiting in his 6 years of being around his dad. I knew he would hire on somewhere on the staff.

BOOM! Feed my ego.
Congrats TU.

Brad Underwood turned a dumpster fire into a #1 seed. If he thinks it can help, I like it. If Whitman didn’t think it could help, he wouldn’t have allowed it.

Anyone who looks for a reason to turn this into a negative eats dried up dog poo for breakfast.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Guessing you missed the sarcasm off code.

Congratulations to TU !!!
To all of the nepotism BS and all of the haters…..get over yourselves.
From all accounts I’ve seen and read, he is a quality young man that has paid his dues.
He did not take playing opportunities away from others.
I believe him to be an excellent teammate, a hard worker, a student of the game, and he comes from a fantastic coaching lineage.
I am sure he will be a tremendous asset to the program in this important, yet entry level position.
Congratulations Tyler.
Congratulations Brad, on the third excellent hiring decision this off season.
Now one, perhaps two more to go…..

Seems like we know who the next coach is going to be...........he needs to finish his commitment to his clients preparing for the NBA Draft. That also allows him to work with/watch potential guys who drop from draft and may look to transfer.

Draft is July 29......I would expect an announcement the last week in July or the first week in August. Gonna be another month.......all need to relax. Seems like we have been told this already.....no?
Yes

Will he still be available play and make a statement to the scholarship players when they are playing like dried up dog poo?

Also, did Lovie earn the benefit of the doubt by resurrecting a program on life support and winning* the Big Ten like Brad did?

Sorry but really don't see this as being funny. You have no idea what this kid has done for the program the past 4 years. He is has paid his dues to receive this opportunity and I for think he has earned the position and will do a good job for the university.
I actually meant the opposite of how you took it.
