That should right there ship! Because Bb Asst coaches are such an important cog in the machine. I do find it odd that at 68 and a close friend, Rupp was not "retiring" vs being fired?? Maybe means he wasn't going to be forcefully "retired". |

Maybe means he wasn't going to be forcefully "retired". aren’t the asst coaches on one year contracts? The words used were “contracts not being renewed,” that’s different than being let go mid-contract. The latter being more like “being fired.” Either way, he’s not returning and they could have let him announce his retirement, that would come across as a more amiable departure without the negative connotation. So maybe there’s was a fracture in the Tinkle/Rupp relationship. |

One of Illinois’ new assistants hired last year (actually all were hired last year as KY and Gonzaga poached the previous 3 assistants) was lead recruiter for signing of #54 player in 2022 class, and instrumental in getting commitment already from #40 in 2024 class. And if Illini can add Skyy Clark to 2022 class and a transfer from Texas Tech who just put name in portal, this assistant’s fingerprints will be all over those signings too. |

I detest this overused go-to response. Unimaginative, lazy, and not constructive. But continuing to complain about the head coach we new wasn’t getting replaced, isn’t unimaginative, lazy, and unconstructive? It certainly may get old, but many times there are opinions and thoughts to go along with it that usually stir debate. Nothing with the old “are you going to pay the buyout” response. |

Maybe nobody had asked him before. Sometimes all it takes is one person to ask. |

Let’s start a fund drive. Is firewaynetinkle.com available?

That should right there ship! Because Bb Asst coaches are such an important cog in the machine. Actually, they are a pretty damn important cog in the machine. They handle most of the recruiting, opponent scouting, help run the practices, individual off-season workouts, etc. Would you also minimize the roles of coordinators in football? Or the pitching coach in baseball? Why do you think many football coaches fight so hard for the money pool for their assistants to be increased? Because good assistants are invaluable and help you win games. People wanted changes. You're getting them. Same thing Rueck did with Eric Ely, or that Canham did with Pat Bailey. |

This clears the way for High School Basketball Coach Xxxxx to be hired (whose son Xxxxx Jr. just so happens to be a 4-Star HS Senior).

Responsibilities of assistants basically fall into 3 categories: roles -- X&O, scouting, game plan -- player skill development /practice) -- recruiting Assistants should be good at all. but ideally a staff is made up of coaches that excel at at least one — covering all based. Hopefully new guys can shore up things so no glaring weaknesses. |

You ponying up for Big Wayne’s buyout? I detest this overused go-to response. Unimaginative, lazy, and not constructive. I like spending other people's money.  |

Is it accurate to say Thompson has been "fired"? Looks like he's been reassigned. |

Trying to get clicks with sensational headline and sacrificing clarity and accuracy. Rupp wasn't fired either, his contract wasn't renewed. |
