Good article. Here is another one on the same situation: Memory Lane: Bruce Pearl - Illinois Fighting Illini Sports Men's Basketball News - IlliniHQ.com

Knight would want to bring Pat along, with the understanding he would be the next in line. :D

Didn't all the coaches get fired? Weren't they all involved in the NCAA stuff? Wasn't TJ involved in the illegal visit at the high school four days after the apology?

The adults screw up; the kids suffer. I feel for all the players and what this has put on them.

I thank the university has handled this poorly. It looks like the university is saying we would have kept you, in spite of the coming sanctions, but you underperformed this year. Had you won more games....

Stevens grew up around Indianapolis and his family is still there. His wife is from Louisville. He's had chances to go to bigger schools but has chosen to stay near family. Don't think he's a possibility.

In discussing who will go and stay, not only will we have a new coach but also likely on probation with a post season ban.

I don't understand why the buyout, this situation has already cost the university big bucks. The sooner this is resolved, the better for the kids.

Why should they stay. The program will likely be on probation, given the way the administration has handled this. And UT on probation isn't going to attract a top coach.

How about pulling Hammie and Pearl's free rides. They are the ones who put all these distractions up there for the kids to deal with.

Not good timing for a T. Don't know what he said, but coaches know what they can't say.

We should be playing today, and take our fate out of the committee hands.

Don't understanding knocking the kids like OP.

Where would this team be without Scotty? Bad posture or not, he carried this team.
