[QUOTE="MrOizo, post: 1296521, member: 66798"] How does this make sense? Where should he go if he is being loyal to Groce, Ford and Parham? Does he quit in protest? Does he send a message to Whitman, who was super-tight with Groce and did this respectfully? There was a scout article today that suggests that Whitman is fully in JW's corner: “I feel strongly about Jamall,” Whitman said. “I’m very grateful for the leadership he’s been providing our program through this interim phase and the work he’s done on behalf of the program for the last five years. What I don’t do as a matter of practice is mandate to any coach who they have to put on their staff. I don’t think that’s fair. But I will recommend, and I will suggest. He and I certainly had extensive conversations about Jamall. But ultimately that decision will be with (Underwood).” [URL="http://www.scout.com/college/illinois/story/1764605-whitman-wanted-john-groce-be-successful"]http://www.scout.com/college/illinois/story/1764605-whitman-wanted-john-groce-be-successful[/URL] [/QUOTE]
