Everybody's been bitching about their draw since the selection show. Is Colorado too tough for Sweet 16? Should a team expect to play a good/great team like UCLA/LSU? LSU's been dog shit so far. Iowa fans are scared of them because of last year. There were 7 really good teams in Iowa's bracket...
Agreed, he is still pretty young and inexperienced. As for him getting the job, it may help that Gatens was an ass't coach at Drake for 4 years before coming to Iowa so the familiarity is there. Give him 5 successful years and hopefully he's qualified and ready.
I'm sure most coaches are dicks, but when you know one personally, you don't necessarily see them as a coach. If PJ Fleck (or someone else like him) became the coach at Iowa, it'd be hard to cheer for him and I don't know him personally.
Proctor did not get any Swarm money. Brad Heinrichs was on KXNO this morning and stated this. There was money on the corporate side but no actual Swarm money.
