The piece examines a season of coach mobility from Kansas to North Carolina and the ripple effects. Illinois' Bill Self moves to Williams' chair, with Tom Crean and Bruce Weber as frontrunners for Illinois and Southern Illinois Carbondale. Speculation fills radio talk shows, underscoring frayed loyalties in sports.
The essay notes Weber may depart SIUC for a higher profile job, with Purdue previously linked and Illinois or Marquette possible interests. It argues coaches at mid majors are drawn by money prestige and ego, and that loyalty fades as wins define success and coaches at all levels face dismissal if they don’t produce.
