Unless they can develop some consistency game to game that will lead them to a tournament invite I don't give a **** about Dickhead Groce and the Illini. Supposedly they have a top 10 in the nation recruiting class coming in next year. Hopefully he won't be here to **** that up.

He won't be. Check out the next 3 games. In the next 3 games, he will be playing competition that will ***** slap him, if he substitutes 3 players out after 3 minutes going up 10-0. This guy has no feel for the game whatsoever. Whatever i says on the chart he's made before the game, that is who and when they come in. Having a hot hand is damned. He can't even acknowledge publicly how much better the team runs with Lucas at PG.

I can't imagine what there is left to evaluate wrt Groce. The substitution patterns are dumb. No feel for the game. The veteran club doesn't play offense or defense and a solid class of Freshman coming in aren't going to magically look better with this "coaching".

Groce should be fired at halftime. A monkey could coach like this.

Marshall is at top of the list of gets, which I don't see that happening. Looks like other coaches high on the list include Archie Miller, both Drews and Kevin Keatts from UNCW. I don't believe the Cuonzo Martin interest. He really fell off toward the end at Cal and I can't see IL having another Purdon't guy coaching in CU. MizNoz is a better bet for CM. Whitman is so professional how he handles things. I would have to think they get a solid coach who turns the UI men's team into an upper tier Big 10 program again and a perennial invite to the NCAA tournament.

How can a person turn down an offer that didn't exist?

Whitman and Groce were next door neighbors, jogging partners and BFF. Up until Illinois lost to Rutgers and subsequently to Michigan in the BTT, Groce was not getting fired. How can a legit offer be made to someone when the job was not open at that point in time?

Illini considering offering Tony Bennett $4.8 million. That would make him the 6th highest coach in college bball
