Anyone got a Miller lite? And that’s not a play on Sean Miller….I think I legitimately just need one lol
Sean Miller played with Orlando Antigua at Pitt. If we're talking hypothetical all star teams why not Sean Miller, with Adam Cohen, Orlando Antigua, and Tim Anderson.

Maybe we see him go after / take the Bama or Arkansas job when they come open.
This would certainly make sense to me. I feel like Miller could be high on the lists, but if Miller wouldn't be interested in Texas, then I can't imagine he'd be interested in UK or KU (maybe I'm wrong).
It's just an interesting hypothetical at 2 blue blood programs.
I’ve heard other schools besides Texas would be very interested …
One scenario … Muss goes to Texas .. Brad goes to Arkansas …
Just one ? Might need a case buddy …
Texas opened a new arena and practice facility this year. Frankly it's just not believable that our facilities are better to the point that it would be a factor in job preference.

This is a psy-op. I don't know of whom or by whom, but this is a psy-op
The what?!?!
I feel like I've read everything in this forum since the loss and I'm still behind
I'm unsure on this. Billy was just extended before this season. I truly don't see the Bulls firing him because Jerry has the longest leash in the world.
But the Bulls need changes.
You my friend … You have found the last piece to the puzzle … Imagine that staff …
We’d need a bigger assistant $$$ pool … I’m sure Josh could make a few calls and sell that staff …
I can't keep track of all the coaches that have already turned down Texas, but I *thought* Muss was one of them? Maybe not.I’ve heard other schools besides Texas would be very interested …

Gonna be crazy offseason
well it's already sold me, I'll chip in $20 and a case of Miller Lite
I actually enjoy Brad. I do not enjoy Sean Miller.

Put me in the bruised pride category if Brad leaves.
This is all hypothetical. Illinois isn't losing Underwood. But I'd do backflips if Whitman could land Miller. The guy is a proven winner at every stop. He's exactly what the entire Illini fan base should hope to get as their coach.

Funny but it is hard to speculate just how many openings there might be in 2 weeks. Also would be interesting to know how many schools these guys agents have already talked to. My buddy at KY still says that boosters there expect Cal to leave as soon as Texas looses. If not he will most likely get the boot for not fulfilling his contract. Grab a chair when the music starts.

My unscientific reading of the tea leaves is that it appears Brad is looking for an avenue out, but that there may not be one at the moment. Seems pretty clear he would take Texas, but it also seems pretty clear he isn't option 1 for Texas. We will see what other jobs pop up once the dominoes fall. I think he probably ends up staying.

Texas seems like exactly the kind of program that would overestimate their own attractiveness in basketball, back a dump truck of money up to guys like Oats and Musselman, then "settle" for choice #4 after the others pass while waiting for a blue blood.
I still think Underwood is a really good coach who is only missing that tourney success, but I could definitely see Texas striking out by overreaching on all the tippy top tier candidates.

The wild thing is that this implies he's actually sully thought about this.I’m not saying I know what Sean’s staff would be … But he made it pretty clear to me who it would be …
Sean in Chicago recruiting with TA … When NIL is legal … LOOK. OUT.
Sean’s actually a good dude
@Indy Illini Fan forgive me if I’m misinterpreting, but it sounds like you were referring to Miller hereI’m not saying I know what Sean’s staff would be … But he made it pretty clear to me who it would be …

..Is it safe to assume that there is open, mutual interest between Whitman and Miller?- Status
