If Martin and Williams didnt have a choice to come to Illinois, and we end up with a mid major head coach/high level assistant, would you say that was a successful search?

Who is the "we" you're talking about, UICFLAMES? ;)

Anyways, it's impossible to lump every candidate that applies to one of those two categories and say whether it would be deemed a success or not. Some would be a home run, some solid, and some not so much...totally depends on the person.

Also, why should we be fretting that Mizzou hired an average coach? It was pretty unanimous in here that we're wanting somebody different. And from everything we've heard, he was not Josh Whitman's guy by a longshot.

Ouch! Mizzou fans don't seem too excited about the C. Martin hire to say the least!

It's like how kids get dates to Prom, etc., right? You ask a friend to ask the target if she'd go with you. If she says yes to your agent, you go ahead and ask (with a bouquet of flowers), if no, you don't ask (and move on to plan B).

I heard JW mailed a hand written note to Tony Bennett, "will you be our head coach?"

Circle yes or no

Just wait until the real games begin tomorrow. We should see a pickup in posts. Mark Few should be in play by then.

It's more likely to be the field than either of Bennett or Keatts, but what a style dichotomy. Bennett is (extremely) slow, deliberate and focused on execution. Keatts plays a wide open, up-and-down game with tons of three-pointers and lots of pressing on D. It's so weird to think that our teams over the next few years could look so different based on this hire.

#illini source says Finebaum report on $18 million offer of Cuonzo Martin is untrue.

Cool! OK, so, in lieu of big news, let's do a job interview. First: How will you recruit Chicago?

So between Cal and UW being open, that probably means we won't be seeing Mr. Musselman.
