Is the new assistant coming

Brad Stephens turned down 3 mil at Ill. last spring.  I wonder what MU would need to pony up?   

I think last spring Stephen's was still thinking Crean was going to be shown the door at Indiana. Now barring an NCAA violation Crean will be at Indiana for a very long-time, so Stephens can now give up on coaching at his dream school.

Pretty sure he's referring to Spring 2012, because that's when the Illinois job was open. Crean's return to the Sweet 16 and monster recruiting classes had already solidified he likely wouldn't be leaving Indiana before Stevens was offered the UI job.

Look at JW at his days at UNC-W and Richmond, not DePaul.

Yep.  Guy can coach.  Just could not attract recruits at the BCS level, at least not enough of them.

And this is how I picture TC:

Hey, he's practicing his "we beat Kentucky" face!
