He is former radio color analyst for Marquette men's basketball and is part of the online support staffer for Optima Batteries in Milwaukee.

[1] After playing at St. Catherine's High School in Racine (averaging 22.9 points, 11.1 rebounds and 8.1 blocked shots as a senior) and blocking a school-record 399 shots at Marquette University, McIlvaine was named NABC Defensive Player of the Year and was drafted with the fifth pick in the second round of the 1994 draft by the Washington Bullets (now Washington Wizards).

Seattle fans were upset,[2] and so was superstar forward Shawn Kemp, who had been asking for a contract increase after leading the team to a franchise-record 64 wins and its best postseason performance in 17 years, including the third Finals appearance in franchise history.

His second season in Seattle saw him decline in every major statistical category, although he still posted numbers close to his career bests in most areas.

Eventually, McIlvaine was dealt to New Jersey in 1999 for Don MacLean and Michael Cage, primarily to open up salary cap room.
