All these coaches have my respect for stepping up to fight cancer.
They all have individual charities that work with, so to jump in to help Brad and the CvsC is awesome.
Regarding their coaching styles, demeanor, etc…I may take them to task for that at times, but for their commitment and effort to CvsC….tons of respect and appreciation.

Wasn’t able to make it last night … Getting a decent babysitter on a Tuesday night is nearly impossible …

I have filed my complaint with the appropriate people … Get this moved to Friday night or Saturday … Then myself and @illini0440 can make a special appearance …

For every question asked … An answer will require a donation to Illini Guardians …

Painter was a 6-6 guard as a high school prospect in 1989. Henson tried to recruit him.
