[QUOTE="ptgrd23, post: 1779040, member: 634212"] Lou will always be special because he brought us back from the bottom in a time when the B10 was the dominant basketball power. I don't think there is any question that Bill Self success at Kansas - 2 NCAA championships and 16 Big 12 championships (14 in a row) raises him into another level. Lon was by his nature a roamer - 4 years KSU, 6 year FL, 4 years IL, NBA, 7 years UNLV, 10 years Oklahoma. If he does not try NBA maybe he stays at Illinois 20 years like Lou. Lon was quality guy. Great X&O. His 1997 B10 champion team did the most with their ability of any Illini team in last 50 years. Turner, Heldman, Gee, Hester and Johnson (walkon). They were undersized, slow, couldn't jump but played almost flawless team ball. Team was a joy to watch. [/QUOTE]
