[QUOTE="illinicb, post: 1133624, member: 3722"] I liked this article because I knew nothing of the guy or his background which I assume is true for most of us regarding a WBB assistant coach. Revealing in the sense that UIUC did the standard background checks and let the Head Coach bring in who he wanted. I can't fault MT for that, however whenever I have done hiring for a significant position, I reach out to people that might know something about the person and get unofficial feedback. This is done in "code" where people involved know what is being said. I wouldn't expect MT to do that with an assistant, but if he was part of Bollant's staff, I would expect it to come up if there was any substance to it. If Dibilviss is the loose cannon as has been portrayed, then he likely was the same during his tenure at UWGB and Bollant tolerated/encouraged the behavior. [/QUOTE]
