    There is more to it than the health issues, obviously, but the crazy rumor involving Tu (or ANY player) is completely off-base. Again, not to mention, insulting to a ton of people. It simply isn't true.

    Don't think this would ever happen but why not engage him this off season on a consulting basis to review and recommend

    I told you that there was a reason the Steele never received a VIABLE HC job offer in the last 4 years; and was interviewing for a lot of openings-many of which didn't make it past the initial interview.

    Not true. He was offered the Middle TN job last year and turned it down with the hopes of getting the XU job.

    Genuine question, was Mack getting HC offers under Miller?

    Fair enough. Mea Culpa.

    I will never understand why people choose to dump on Kelsey. He's an alumnus and by all accounts a good guy.

    I’ve never understood why some people seem to think that he walks on water, either. Even if the facts are that he is an alumnus and a good guy, that doesn’t give him any more to offer than what I can offer. I’m an alumnus and most people think I’m a good guy too. That certainly doesn’t qualify me to be a HC at the college level, especially at the high college level. I’m not dumping on him, I just don’t get why some people seem to love him so much and think he will make such a great coach.

    Who thinks he walks on water? Most of what I have read is some people thought he as a good option for the HC job? I think that's totally fair considering he was an assistant at Wake for several years under Skip and associate HC here for 3 years. Add to that he's had a pretty good run at Winthrop for 5 plus years. Pretty strong resume if you ask me.

    Pretty strong resume if Illinois State is hiring.
