No, it is not Tony Bennett or Greg Marshall. However, it is a very talented coach with a nice track record as an assistant (Frank Martin and Bob Huggins) and as a head coach (Stephen F. Austin and OK State). Brad Underwood is the new coach of the Illini, and he brings a system that works with him to Champaign.
Underwood was only at Oklahoma State for one year, but he turned a 12-20 team into a 20-12 overall record and an NCAA tournament appearance. He took a team that was No. 306 in offensive efficiency to No.
