Illinois basketball legend Dee Brown is no longer involved with the program, Josh Whitman announced on Monday. The Fighting Illini legend has resigned as the Director of Player Development and Alumni Relations, citing personal reasons as a major factor in his decision.
"For reasons that are personal to him, Dee Brown has decided to step down from his role with our program. We respect his decision and his privacy and will have no additional comment. Beginning with his time as one of the great student-athletes in our history and continuing in the years since, Dee has remained steadfast in his passion for the Fighting Illini.
