Like it will be positional.
Okay.
Yeah, no, I was just making sure.
Some people would tell you Bill Self, which, again... He was not there long enough to justify the title, in my opinion.
Correct.
I just wanted to make sure.
You know, I think he's already the second best coach in the program's history, and I think there's a very good chance that when he leaves, finally, he will be the best coach in program history because you look at what he's done.
And I just think that, too, like one of the things Illinois has going for it just as an athletic department, not just a basketball program.
is continuity.
Like Brett Bielema has signed a long-term contract with a non-compete.
Brad Underwood has signed a long-term contract with a non-compete.
Shawna Green, our women's basketball coach, has now signed a recent long-term contract extension with a non-compete.
And just last week, the athletic director, Josh Whitman, signed another 10-year, I think, extension with a non-compete.
So like these are all people that are there and are going to be there for a while.
And Illinois, like Brad, A, I think his superpower is,
He's so adaptable in that he's been at Illinois for nine seasons.
This will be his 10th season.
And I feel like he's gone through four or five different iterations of what he wants his basketball team to look like.
Like he changes things up when they're not working.
He follows trends and he's trying to get things that will work out.
