Douchey posters aside, was it really that insane to question Tyler's position given his previous inexperience?
Nets like Ament alot. More than Mara.
One insider did. The same insider that wanted to replace BU with Chris Beard and thought we'd regret not hiring Cuonzo Martin. As I recall other insiders thought the anti-Tyler stuff was crazy, because even back then he was orchestrating extremely efficient offenses.
Keep in mind that the post I quoted wasn’t written early in Tyler’s tenure. It was written after Tyler crafted the #3 ranked offense, then followed it up with the #17 ranked offense lead by two freshman, heading into a season that would finish with the #2 ranked offense lead again by two freshman.
Essential to make sure he's here for as long as possible.
I think multiple folks had questions, particularly when Anderson left. Indy was definitely the most vocal but wasn't solo.
To each their own, but AJ puts way more effort into both sides of the ball and intangibles than Melo. Peterson just stands around on offense waiting to shoot and doesn't do anything else. Wade was the opposite, he was an effort player. I would say Peterson is the undersized Carmelo. I wouldn't tough him with a 2nd round draft pick.
That's the question: should Josh, if he's still AD, just hand the head coach job to Tyler upon Brad's retirement, or should Tyler have to "earn" the position by being a successful hc at mid-major for a season or three?
Tim Legsler also made an interesting point on the Bill Simmons Show.Ryen Russillo had two NBA draft guys on his podcast. One of the negatives they see with Keaton is that he had too much of a coaching and scheme advantage playing for the Illini.
Remember when the experts on this board used to complain about our offense and not running enough set plays? Good times.
They even said Tyler has the chops to be an NBA head coach someday and I’m old enough to remember @bigcityillini filling us in on the lack of talent Tyler has:
“If you are talented enough you don't need to get hired by your dad. Others would take notice. If Tyler truly is that good of a coach as some here, say and is only making 120K (as some posters claim) then what the hell is he doing? Wouldn't he be selling himself short? He leads this elite offense and yet gets no national press... why?“
I guess he’s getting national press now.

I think it boils down to how long that time frame is before Brad is ready to retire. I think Tyler is almost as likely to get poached for an NBA staff at some point as a mid major HC job. Whichever path he prefers, I think he will have the chance to chase it.
Karim Lopez sounds like one that people are lower on.Ryen Russillo had two NBA draft guys on his podcast. One of the negatives they see with Keaton is that he had too much of a coaching and scheme advantage playing for the Illini.

From a skills perspective, probably not. From a gravitas perspective, maybe.
Tyler found and recruited Wagler, that should earn some gravitas points
Didn't he have something to do with Wagler’s recruitment...?
