Ron Coleman=Leaving already???

[FCHusker]

I am sure you guys have already touched upon this, sorry I dont make it to the basketball board very often, but he is a candidate or even possibly the lead candidate for the assistant coach position for Groce at Illinois. Man I would hate to lose him before we had him. No linky, got it from premium material at Rivals. Sorry.

Being from Illinois, and the possibility of a better pay and better position is tempting. We shall see what loyalties he has to Coach Miles. Maybe not many since he is the fourth highest paid coach on the staff. Maybe he feels spurned by his position.

would suck to lose a guy with chicago ties to a school in Illinois and the same conference ....air is being let out of my balloon

this wouldn't bode well.

I agree I don't want to lose him, but I don't think it would bode poorly or well, either one. There would be strong reasons for Coleman to take the job, not just some deficiency in Miles. Just like there would be strong reasons for Agau to go to a different school than Nebraska.

Even if Miles is successful here, he will have its ups and downs. Success won't be a straight line. He will lose some battles, possibly this one, that end up NOT keeping him from being successful.

Great news! I think he deserves a raise already!

Wait, if Illinois didn't want him, does that mean Coleman isn't worth keeping.
