Team Leadership/ Choosing Captains
The players must vote for their own leaders, but the coach must define what a captain looks like
For whom much is given much is expected
The key is Servant Leadership
The more input you let your players have the more ownership they will take in the program
John Groce is a really good coach and recruiter. I believe that he will turn Illinois around as long as he is given the time. He has led the Ohio Bobcats and the Illinois Fighting Illini to three NCAA tournament bids, one CIT Tournament bid, and one NIT tournament bid. He has given the Illini nation hope about the future of their basketball team.
Overall, Groce has a career coaching record of 127-84 (.602).
