Surprising. He was so unexpectedly humble, thoughtful and intellectual. A self-proclaimed "nerd," Tyler bucks all the jock stereotypes with his articulate answers and analytical thinking. Not to mention sweet, "Home is wherever my family is." 

 Listen as this Macomb, IL born (add many moves in between), now happily rooted in Champaign, University of Illinois basketball player turned coach talks adding value wherever he can on the court. We also chatted nepotism, basketball as an art, carrying a book over carrying a phone, blaming coaches vs. players, trolling haters and his passion and allegiance to the community and athletic program. For the guy who wants to talk about anything other than basketball, I so appreciate his time and wish him a unforgettable season. ILL.
