Personally, if I was a basketball coach and didn't have ties to either one? I'd choose Illinois as the better job, but only just.
Settle an argument for me. Which is the better coaching job: University of Illinois or Wake?
Interesting. Wife says Illinois. Shockingly, I took Wake.
Illinois is a great basketball school, but I maintain that football still rules there. Further, to succeed at U of I you have to politically master the bullshit Chicago AAU circuit. Finally, though it seems like forever since we were nationally relevant, our history > Illini's.
Not sure you can say our history is better than Illinois' history. They have five final fours and a bevy of conference titles over the years. They also have two Big Ten Tournament titles - an event that has not been around all that long. I'd say the histories are comparable - with them having an edge.
He looks like Curly from The Three Stooges.
So uh, all you mofos who said there was no way Va Tech would get a better coach than us, yeah.
This is crazy. I wonder if something is brewing because you think Buzz would have waited for the Wake situation to play out before jumping on VT.
At this point, I have to assume RW has called to ask to talk to Shaka. If he hasn't, I am more than a little concerned about his sanity. He has to #1 on most everyone's list, and he can't wait to see if Wichita St loses to talk to Marshall. As the crickets continue to chirp, and VCU players and admin say they are not concerned about Shaka leaving, the odds appear to be going down even further for Shaka to Wake by the hour. God, I hated watching Buzz on TV yucking it up all day and night on TV with Charles & crew.
