I just think that his record in the Big 10 Tourney speaks volumes about HIS ability, and the ability to keep the team focused and ready when they are on a big stage....they piss the bed in most early season tournaments as well and exit early. There is a direct correlation to this, and me stating that seven (7) years is more than enough. People choose to bury their head in the sand over what ISU does every F'n year...with different coaches every 3-4 years....they shouldn't. Their program is better than ours....period!!! NO WAY they would have given Fran as much rope as he has gotten with us. Reason? Because they have experienced way more success than we have, and have not allowed their bar to be lowered, as we have. We are ALWAYS to scared of change, because we know how much rope we do give coaches. INHERENT FLAW in thinking.....LOSER mentality, So we bear ISU this year,,,,big deal...think they really care right now? Nope.
