Illinois State's Dan Muller will hire East Tennessee State's Brian Collins as an assistant coach, per a source.
Kinda late for this to be happening.

Wouldn't Illinois State be a lateral move?

I wouldn't be surprised if this has been known for a while and why we hired Frank Davis. I could be wrong but I see Davis easily taking Collins place since he had plenty of coaching experience.
I cannot say enough positive things about Coach penny. He's a D1 head coach in the making and a hell of a good dude too
Best wishes to Penny! Don't see Davis as replacement.

I would agree that it is.

Davis was hired well before Ill St job came open. This developed much more recently.
On the bright side we can take on a package deal now...

Not unless somebody's leaving or the package player pays his own way
Apparently we hired South Carolina legend BJ Mckie to take his place.

Yes they did and it's an absolute home run hire given the timing and McKie's abilities.
McKim still listed as coach on CSU basketball site.Nomally coaches are removed asap when leaving.

His bio is very in depth and informative.

Hope he's on his way, would be a terrific hire.
Charleston media is reporting it as done. Just need the official release from ETSU.

It probably was before, but there is no debating that this is now the best staff in the league by far.
