[QUOTE="618 Illini, post: 1287571, member: 597866"] Thank you John Groce for leading the basketball team with such poise and character. Couldn't ask for a better leader and figurehead for the program and school. I wish him nothing but the best at his next opportunity. A couple points about the press conferences: 1. Love that Whitman is not using a search firm. To me the message is "I know my shortlist and don't need a search firm to comb the earth for hidden gems." 2. I think Whitman's interview is such a great sales pitch for the next coach. How could you not want to work with such a great guy. Even when the going gets tough, they both held firm to their character. 3. Tremendous respect for Coach Groce to stand up there and go through a painful interview with class. Go Illini! [/QUOTE]
