God...Coach K retiring at the end of the year. ESPN is is going to be a 6 month long weep-fest.

"This is the last time Coach K will step into hallowed Littlejohn Coliseum...sob...it's quite a moment"

The only thing worse will be when LeBron goes.

The only thing worse will be when LeBron goes.

No doubt. And I remember thinking the Kobe retirement year was deep throated. The thing that got me was the talk about what a great winner he was.

The Jeter retirement tour was also pretty nauseating

[Mike]

There was no way K wouldn’t make a grand spectacle of himself. Fucking hate that guy.

Odd decision if Kofi doesn't stay in the draft.
#1 seed, one of the best players in the B10... Kofi decides to leave Illinois? It's like a Russell Wilson leaving NC State to Wisconsin impact.

[Hannibal]

Very weird. Almost seems like a misprint.

[Cody_Russell]

Good for my teams (M, Purdue) though!

Assuming Kofi stays in college... I'm guessing he sees an opportunity to make significant $$$ with the new NCAA rule that allows athletes to pursue name/image deals. Kentucky, Duke, Kansas, UNC. Just a guess.
Weird given Kofi was such a big name in the B10 last season.

[lineygoblue]

I'll be surprised if he returns to college ball. Too much more money can be made in the NBA, if that's what's driving him.

Chris Mack suspended, Louisville scandal fallout grows - Sports Illustrated

"The University of Louisville hit men’s basketball coach Chris Mack hard Friday, suspending him for 20 days of the 2021–22 season, a span that will include six games. That’s a pretty steep price to pay for being blackmailed."
