Chet won't be gone. Apparently he has an offer to be a graduate asssistant. He needs to go elsewhere if he wants to be a coach. i won't mind him as a coach. tie game when we've outplayed them this half by a wide margin. me either, but he needs to see someone else's style. Can't just stay with one guy or you end up like a Duke assistant. I don't imagine him going straight from Illinois grad assistant to assistant coach. I'd imagine he'd do that here, then go to a smaller program as an assistant, with an eye on coming back when a spot opens up. I hope that's the path he takes. SIU with the Lowry connection might be a way to get to a nice program for a couple of years as well. I wouldn't mind seeing him go somewhere with a little less "grind it out defensive war" mentality. Though I guess you're looking at 5-10 years down the line when he'd possibly be back here, so projecting anything that far is foolish. This team might be run and gunning it by then. Depends how the 5th graders are in our state. I don't ever think he'll be our head guy though. That will be Jerence. Sucks for Chet. I wasn't really thinking about him as a head coach(but as I said you can't really project that stuff 10 years in the future. Jerrance could get a nice head coaching gig in 5 years and have his roots set there for 10 years before we need a new coach. Or things could go to [expletive], and the whole staff could be fired. My point was to have a different viewpoint on the bench as an assistant. It'd be nice to have a guy on the bench with a different viewpoint pushing on Bruce to up the tempo.
