Bradley 72 - Illini 68 Final
???It??™s awful hard,??™??™ said Illini freshman guard D.J. Richardson, the former Central High School guard who played prep school ball a few miles from here and fought back tears outside the locker room. ???It??™s a hometown thing. It??™s bragging rights.??™
I wish him nothing but the best! He is truly a great Brave for that he has done and represented our institution.
On the new assistant, well there are a few pretty good players out there that need a home and I wonder if pulling a Kansas would be out of the question.

Someone mentioned Donnie Boyce. I REALLY LIKE that choice. He is connected to so much talent and proved he can coach. 2nd place last March to the best recruited team in Illinois and that may include the College teams.
He's the guy that I would have a conversation with.

Donnie Boyce did an impressive job at Proviso East last year, but he has no college coaching experience, and only 1 single year as head coach at the high school level. And I am not sure he is very connected to the Chicago Public League coaches or the Chicago AAU scene, I can't find where he's ever had any involvement with them. Does anyone know if he has his college degree?
I think the job will go to Coleman if he wants it.

Good point regarding whether or not Boyce has his degree. I hadn't given it consideration. However, he does have three years of experience as an assistant coach on his resume' (two season in the NBDL, and 1 year at Triton College).
As far as connections go, with the amount of talent that comes through Proviso, I would be very surprised if he didn't have AAU relationships.

I too would be very surprised if he wasn't well connected with the top AAU teams. The big question would be does he have his degree. We all know coaching experience shouldn't be a hangup.
Chicago Public Schools CEO says... "So many CPS schools are failing that new school leaders assembled by Mayor Rahm Emanuel
can only address “some of the worst of the worst, not necessarily the absolute worst in every neighborhood,”
Schools CEO Jean-Claude Brizard said Wednesday."
thus far Dyett has yet to clear WS and name him head basketball coach - but this may just be a delayed formality due to the strike & until the board meets and votes...
in the meantime - and hopefully this won't be an omen for the Dyett basketball team - the Dyett football team continues to get hammered by 40+ points every week
(lost to Kennedy who have averaged only 2 wins/yr since the early 80's) and go to 0-4.
ouch - Dyett's FB team needs help - maybe Willie can take over there, too...it was said he would leave BU to take his position at Dyett on October 1st.
This past week Dyett FB lost to Juarez HS - 33-0, and I have to admit I have never heard of Juarez HS....apparently the only public HS in the US that is named to honor the president of a foreign nation.
There's not much available to know how good or bad Juarez may be except that they don't win very often - they have a grand total of just 15 wins since the 1990's but there's no record of them playing football from the late 70's when the school was built 'til 2000 -
That's an avg of just 1.3 wins/yr and 5 of those came in the only winning season they have ever had in 06-07.
They are also another of the failing Chicago Public Schools whose graduation rate is only 50%
BTW -- poor Willie gets no respect...
The IHSA website for Dyett was just updated and the name of the basketball coach was changed from the past guy
- CLARENCE SMITH..
to the current guy...
but they have the name of the current guy on their websire as... WILLIE SMITH
The reports that Willie Scott were going to take over as head coach of Chicago Dyett are apparently not accurate...
Dyett played in the Galesburg season opening tournament and went 0-3 and now are 0-4
I was able to find the scores...
Moline 71 - Dyett 41 (Dyett's leading scorer was unable to play because he was ejected in the UTHS game)
UTHS (used to be called East Moline - now United Township HS) 52 - Dyett 45
Galesburg 65 - Dyett 49
Engelwood 60 - Dyett 54
but the article in the Galesburg newspapers states quite plainly that the Dyett Eagles have Clarence Smith as their head coach - which is the same name that the IHSA web site for Dyett says was their head coach last year.
