[QUOTE="Deleted member 631370, post: 1373474"] I'm not THAT worried about the coaching staff yet, but I'm also not buying this stuff about "we are so much more enjoyable to watch", "we are light years ahead of where Groce had us", "we are playing well enough to beat anybody", etc. I get it. We're still in the honeymoon phase, and we're all rooting hard for the new staff to succeed. But that can't cloud the fact that this team is an utter wreck. That's largely due to the fact that we have 2 guys playing at a Big Ten level. 2. That's a failing on the previous staff. But when so many guys underperform this year -- Alstork, Smith, Finke, Nichols -- and actually get WORSE as the season goes on, that's really alarming. Frankly, the coaches aren't immune from criticism here. Next year might be the most pivotal year in recent Illinois basketball history. [/QUOTE]
