Get Bryce Drew he can bring Roger Powell Jr. with him add Dee to the staff and find a good X'S and O'S coach and I think that would be a great mix here.
Amaker was Brutally bad at UM
Has Roger Powell Jr. come out and said he will only coach under Bryce Drew? Your the second person on here who has brought up Drew so Powell can come along with.Get Bryce Drew he can bring Roger Powell Jr. with him add Dee to the staff and find a good X'S and O'S coach and I think that would be a great mix here.

Tracy was not a Groce recruit. You could also debate that Hill was first recruited by Weber then reaffirmed by Groce.
If you are basing the point on limited amounts of Groce's recruits reaching upperclassmen status, ok. The most "alpha"dog recruited by Groce was Rice and there are a lot of behind-the-scenes arguments that his efforts were not always in the best interests of the team.

Well I asked because RP can come coach at Illinois right now if he was asked. If a change is made, I want the best coach that UI is able to get. Not a good one who will bring alumni with him. I know that's not what you were saying specifically, but if we want Powel to work here, go get him on his own.No, I doubt he has, BUT it seems rather likely that Powell would come along. It is his alma mater, he likely isn't getting head coaching looks, and it would be a major step up from Valpo. Also, most coaches want "their guys" with them on staff at new jobs, hence why Ford is with Groce still.
Amaker B1G winning % after 6 years = .448
Groce B1G winning % after 3.33 years = .417

And that's despite the crazy injury bug. No thanks on Amaker.
Scott Drew is the Baylor coach, who has been accused of using questionable tactics in the past.
Bryce Drew is the Valpo coach, who has no such issues.
Two different people.
Why? At this point it's hard to make a positive case for him. Yes, he's had injuries and bad luck--which certainly excuse not making the tournament or contending for the B1G Championship this year. But the combination of how last year ended with how this year has started are imho proof that he's not the right coach for us.
Even if some of you got your wish and Groce was fired today, there is no AD to hire a new coach. That is the reality, and no amount of complaining will change it.
The admin stuck with the guy that was around to avoid going out and getting a new coach.The Admin hired a football coach, why not a basketball coach too? I'm not saying I want this to happen at all, but they set an example they will hire a coach without an AD.

For the folks saying that Groce needs another year or two - What (if anything) would need to happen the rest of this season to change your mind, and move you to the "he needs to go" side of things?
