March 12, 200521 yr The Illini's coach's mom dies after 5 hours of surgery from a torn aorta(sp?). My prayers to him and his family! 708078[/snapback] Already posted in the BTT forum. Real sad story.....
March 12, 200521 yr Rumor has it Bruce is going to coach tomorrow. And to be honest, I hope that's not true. He should just take the rest of the weekend off to be with his family and hopefully be regrouped and ready to go for the big dance. And even if not, basketball isn't all that important right now for him and his family, and it shouldn't be.

Whatever Bruce decides is best for his family is what's best for his family. My condolences to the Illinois family. RIP

RIP 708099[/snapback] True, maybe getting out and coaching will be good for him, I dunno. This is real sad because Bruce is such a good guy, even ask people that don't like the Illini at all and they will agree with that. His mother was 81 though, so at least she lived a full life.
