If we can get the guy Brad is targeting ... 10 ...

It would be the best assistant coaching staff in the country IMO ... Top 5 at minimum ...

I would guess

Sean miller was brought up as a potential head coaching candidate if underwood were to jump ship. Sean miller is not coming to Illinois to be an assistant.

And as an Arizona alum, I sincerely hope he never coaches in Champaign.

Any current assistant coach who would be better than Tim Anderson is a possible head coach in a year.

Just sayin'

Is TA on paid or unpaid leave?

TA is not returning to the program …

Payroll isn’t my expertise but he isn’t going to be getting paid if he isn’t around the program … And I assume everything is all settled with the $$ considering the announcement …

Sounds like the announcement wording is just all about being as vague as possible so both sides (who appear to part on not terrible terms) come out of this looking clean so no shade for either side. I assume BU and TA talked about this and agreed on this approach being best for all once it was determined that TA wasn't going to stay on.

I think TA is gonna regret the decision, which is ironic when he's talked in the past about players making a mistake leaving the program.

Everybody has something nice to say until it's their milk that's spilled.

I agree whole wholeheartedly with your post.

I doubt he'll regret it. He's talented.

The regret for leaving a program early is the missed opportunity to develop. So for TA the issue would be did he miss out on some sort of development. I don't think he does.
