[QUOTE="Ubermensch, post: 1305250, member: 16319"] There's what we fans say about Paris Parham/Chin Coleman and then there's what these actual "Chicago coaches" say about Paris Parham/Chin Coleman. "Smith, who coaches nationally-ranked seniors Jabari Parker and Kendrick Nunn, had a similar reaction." "I think they finally may have won over Chicago with that hire," Simeon coach Robert Smith said. "I think they did. I think he can really help with what they’re trying to do. He knows the city of Chicago. He has the same views I have. We’ve been friends for over 20 years and not just basketball." [url]http://www.espn.com/blog/chicago/colleges/post/_/id/6267/area-coaches-parham-good-hire-for-illini[/url] This isn't to say Coleman can't be Jimmy Collins or that he wasn't the right hire. The proof is in the pudding, however. Because we've heard this stuff before. Hopefully Coleman is the right hire in order for UI to get back in with Chicago's top kids, but I don't just assume it. Show me. Talk is cheap. [/QUOTE]
