The way I understood it, Jon and Rob tried to put their financial resources together to buy and “reclaim” the site. The current owners wanted waaay more than what it is worth, so it was a no go.
Who are the actual owners of HN?
Raveling wasn't taking any assistant coaching gig though. Guy had already made a name for himself at Washington State, was in early at Nike, was one of the '84 Olympic coaches that won gold, and left Iowa for USC.People may not have liked George's poor during game coaching, but DAMN could that guy recruit. Mr. Davis should have hired him just to be a recruiting assistant. He had done that then Fran would have had to coach at Iowa several more years to surpass Mr. Davis as the all-time leader in wins for the Iowa basketball program. Mr. Davis was pretty good in recruiting but George did a great job in that aspect.
I remember George sweated profusely during the games at Carver and could be seen carrying a towel on a regular basis. Now that Caitlin has come out and commented about the lack of air-conditioning in Calver I have more compassion for George.
