My thoughts exactly. The 5 man leading a break or running a lot is not a necessity. The ability for a big man to trail and hit the secondary break 15-18 foot shoot is a welcome part to any team. There are many freshman post players that struggle on defense and turned out fine. From his AAU...

I liked this post and it seems reasonable for Aaron to take his time and actually get to know the new coach before he says something. And even then, he may just want to keep to himself. I hope we have him around but he has to do what he feels best about.

Fuller may have had his mind made up. It would have very little reflection on coach Fran. Everytime a new coach comes to a program there is going to be some turnover. Fuller may be sick of Iowa City, Iowa's fans or just want a change. I have seen starters on Divison 1 teams just simply quit...

solid 7. Given the financial restraints and the current coaching climate I should probably rate it higher. Who else would come for this amount that would be a better fit. I am talking about 1.5 million like it is a poor salary. Coaches' pay is out of control.

I did not follow these boards until a year or 2 ago. I am just curious what the overwhelming thoughts were when Lickliter was hired. Did most of the diehards on this board view this as a good, great or bad hire. I say this because I was very excited about the last two coaches and was...

I hope we can keep them also. It will be a challenge. I would suspect that Fran has never talked to any of them prior to yesterday. that is a lot of ground to make up. Brust and Marble had great senior years and may have opened up some eyes of coaches that did not previously offer them. A lot of...

My question is will he be able to keep all 4 recruits. If Brust, McCabe and Marble all came on in their senior years like everyone felt they may be getting alot of new coaching friends hanging around their house and schools. Some of these coaches will already have long standing relationships...

It seems like OSU usually gets the calls in most games but it seems like any questionable call is going for Tenn tonight. Do others agree or am I looking through my Big Ten Glasses?

Where did you get the information on the 2:30 news conference on Monday? Is this confirmed?

When does it start? What is the schedule? I could not find any details in a few searches.

I wanted to see what people here thought about Billy Gillispie if a new coach is needed. He has a proven track record for developing teams, turning around programs, recruiting and having drinking problems. He appears to have worked on the drinking part and the others seem to be a good fit for...

I think this is a reasonable and likely course of the events. I enjoyed the post.

Would Rutgers give the Big Ten enough leverage to have the Big Ten Network added to expanded basic cable in the New Jersey and Manhattan area. I do not know if there would be a large enough interest to get the network in most households. Some states that live and breath Big Ten had a hard time...

Rutgers does not excite me. The TV and recruiting benifits will probably trump my next points but Rutgers basketball is a non factor and their football program has been up and coming but has not been good previous to the last 3-4 years. I have never really heard of any of their sports teams...

Didn't Eglseder get an OWI? I think I just saw him on the ESPN ticker as playing tonight. I think that is only a 3 game suspension for an OWI. What did Tucker get for each of his offenses? Are the differences just school policy? Somewhere in between is probably where each suspension should be.

I would agree that if they look like that in the next outing. I am moving closer to the get rid of Lick camp.

I am tempted to jump off the deep end and let frustrations take complete control of my thinking but there are a few level headed things to think about. Is there any excuse for the horrible showing last night? Not really. But we have all seen many teams just not have it on a given night. This...
