Recall that the members of this discussion board wanted all 3 BB players dismissed from the squad, thrown out of school, and John Groce fired and sent to the Russian Front as the usual knee jerk reactions before any facts were forthcoming. Have we calmed down?
The sole motivation was to see Groce fired because he hasn't won enough basketball games. That is the lens through which any piece of information about Illinois Basketball is interpreted by the majority of the fanbase. It would be a complete 180 opposite if we wanted Groce to stay.
