Coach John Groce as an example of the Peter Principle

Posted by Potomac <iframe src='https://members.boardhost.com/onedeuce/info/user=Potomac' width='330' height='300' border=0 style='border:none;'> on March 15, 2026, 10:06:19, in reply to "Other games thread*"

Remember that? People are promoted until they reach a position beyond their competence, at which point they fail. Sometimes they stay anyway, and sometimes they retreat.

John Groce was unsuccessful and went back to the MAC, where he has done just fine again, winning 20+ the past five years. Good for him to recover and carry on. It's too bad that we had to be the Peter Principle trigger.

not in their politics, not in their basketball. You have posters like Blazer and Grill that police the basketball opinions and clapping seals like Runner that "me too" them.

Somehow we're to believe in the era of NIL and powerconferences, it is impossible to find a head coach that can limp into an expanded NCAA tournament most years while actually being a threat to make it beyond the second weekend. Someone under the age of 60.

Done a great job in the big ten conference but disappointing Big Dance performance and generally disappointing marquee non conference record. Not horrible but below expectations on both.

I think he’s exceeded our big ten record expectations.

1st step is to make the big dance. 2nd step is to win in the big dance. Let’s just not get upset in 1st round and this year won’t have been a total failure. A Sweet 16 will be a met expectations.

Interesting to see who comes back but I’m expecting to be kicked in the nuts a couple times in late March/early April by the portal

So something like Conference USA gets a share of proceeds from the Big Dance... someone's gotta get into the Dance.

What are we at, 68 teams now? Because 64 just wasn't enough?? Kinda wonder how much is too much.

And as many have noted, the expansion isn't bringing in more Cinderella's. It's bringing in people with 10-8 records in the power conferences.

NY Times feature on the Illini Europeans

Posted by Potomac <iframe src='https://members.boardhost.com/onedeuce/info/user=Potomac' width='330' height='300' border=0 style='border:none;'> on March 11, 2026, 12:20:22, in reply to "Other games thread*"

Nice friendly story about the five guys. Praises coaches Antigua and Anderson for working Europe.

Every summer, the assistants make their way across the pond, and Underwood even sent Antigua and Alexander on a trip midseason this year. From Dec. 14 to Dec. 22, between a home loss to Nebraska and the Braggin’ Rights win over Missouri, the pair visited Spain, Serbia and Lithuania, checking in on five prospects the Illini are pursuing.

“I don’t know if anybody else did what we do. We get a chance to work for a boss that allows us to go do those things,” Antigua said. “That goes a long way in terms of the relationship building and people seeing you in their country.”

...

The [Ivisic] brothers were both represented by Misko Raznatovic, who also represents Jokić and has become the most well-known international agent. Antigua worked with Raznatovic to help get both Ivisic brothers to college basketball, and last April at the Final Four in San Antonio, he introduced Underwood to Raznatovic. They hit it off immediately.

Both straight shooters, Antigua said. “You know where you stand. There’s no BS, and there’s a lot of mutual respect for the way each of them handle themselves.”

That meeting opened the floodgates. The Illini needed a big man — freshman Morez Johnson Jr. had hit the portal a week before the Final Four — and Zvonimir was available as a transfer from Arkansas. With Tomislav’s blessing, Underwood decided to pursue. On April 6 — the Sunday of the Final Four — Zvonimir committed.

“I saw how much my brother improved,” Zvonimir said. “I know how he was before he came to Illinois, and then you see him a year later — 10 times stronger, 10 times faster than he was, 10 times more confident than he ever was.”

Mirkovic had been keeping tabs on Tomislav, his former teammate with SC Derby in Montenegro, and asked him questions about what it was like at Illinois. Tomislav was also giving his coaches the scouting report on his former teammate.

“Maybe exaggerated a little bit,” he said, “because I really wanted him to come here.”

At the end of March, Raznatovic called Mirkovic and his parents and told him he was set to go to the Illini.

“I didn’t ask for any other offers or anything else,” Mirkovic said. “I said, ‘Yeah, I’m ready,’ and that’s it.”

Regarding Mirkovic:

“One of a kind,” Illini senior Kylan Boswell said. “Nothing bothers that kid. He takes things serious, but nothing bothers him.”

“You can call him the worst things, he’ll think it’s a joke,” Stojakovic said. “And I think that’s kind of rubbed off on us when it comes to Underwood coaching us. He can say the worst thing to us and it won’t affect us mentally because everybody else on the team is like, ‘You’re good. He’s just trying to motivate you.’”

...

“To what extent he would push me, I didn’t know, but I wanted that,” Stojakovic said. “I would say the only person in my life that’s ever been more harsh on me than Underwood is my dad. Taking it from somebody else in that aspect was something I needed and I wanted for myself.”

Mirkovic had a similar experience, just at a younger age. His mom won two European championships playing for the Yugoslavian national team and also played professionally. When Mirkovic was young, his mom would rent a gym to train him. And what she cared about more than anything else was that he didn’t play soft.

“When I play like that,” he said, “she always tell me that in a really bad way.”

Mirkovic said coaches back home are brutal and will scream the worst things at you.

“They come at you like they want to fight you,” he said, “like fist fight you.”

Underwood is a “cake walk in the park,” he said, comparatively. And he also called him the best coach he’s ever had....

interesting, thanks*

“One of a kind,” Illini senior Kylan Boswell said. “Nothing bothers that kid. He takes things serious, but nothing bothers him.”

“You can call him the worst things, he’ll think it’s a joke,” Stojakovic said. “And I think that’s kind of rubbed off on us when it comes to Underwood coaching us. He can say the worst thing to us and it won’t affect us mentally because everybody else on the team is like, ‘You’re good. He’s just trying to motivate you.’”

...

“To what extent he would push me, I didn’t know, but I wanted that,” Stojakovic said. “I would say the only person in my life that’s ever been more harsh on me than Underwood is my dad. Taking it from somebody else in that aspect was something I needed and I wanted for myself.”

Mirkovic had a similar experience, just at a younger age. His mom won two European championships playing for the Yugoslavian national team and also played professionally. When Mirkovic was young, his mom would rent a gym to train him. And what she cared about more than anything else was that he didn’t play soft.

“When I play like that,” he said, “she always tell me that in a really bad way.”

Mirkovic said coaches back home are brutal and will scream the worst things at you.

“They come at you like they want to fight you,” he said, “like fist fight you.”

Underwood is a “cake walk in the park,” he said, comparatively. And he also called him the best coach he’s ever had....

got me thinking that NIL is probably putting an end to the come play for me i’m black too card. money is bigger than race loyalty. so without that advantage any incompetence will be even further exposed.

of course there could theoretically be a really good black coach that’s as smart and spends as much time as a white coach. but that unicorn seems really hard to find.

At one time, if you had a white HC, you had to have at least one black assistant.

No such thing as an all-white staff. Maybe someone like John Thompson/Georgetown had an all-black coaching staff. Couldn't tell you for sure.

So... with more and more international players, will you need someone with foreign language skills?

As noted above, NIL changes everything IMHO. Pay a kid enough money, he won't care what color you are. That's JMHO.

Yep yep. List of coaches since 1972 (per Wiki):

1972-1999 John Thompson Jr.
1999-2004 Craig Esherick
2004-2017 John Thompson III
2017–2023 Patrick Ewing
2023–present Ed Cooley

So, gonna say everyone on that list except Esherick would be considered black.

Quick scan of the Georgetown website has five people with the title of assistant coach (or something close). One of those five is white IMHO.

Hey, who cares as long as you're winning, right? Or at least making money.
