I like Gatens.Congrats to a truly honorable and appreciated Hawkeye. But WinOne is correct -- Matt would be an upgrade to some of the deadwood on the current Iowa staff. He should be back in Iowa City.
Check back in 6-8 years. He may be ready, a la Hoiberg, for the whole ball of wax.I like Gatens.
But Jumping from travel and video scout co-ordinator to full-time assistant ....
Yeah, .... doesn’t mean he is better than what Iowa has.

He's pretty young yet. As are guys like Horner and Oliver. I can't help but think in time one of them will end up back in Iowa city in some way or another.You would think there would be some room for a good basketball mind/person in Iowa's organization...somewhere. Does Barta believe we are "operating on all cylinders" within the Iowa Basketball program? If we can have a person in the athletic department watching paint dry for a few years, because she didn't work well with others...how in the hell can't we find a place for a guy like Matt Gatens?
If there is no change with the staff and we suck on defense again...well...I agree that drastic changes are necessary.
Maybe Mr Wonka can reconcoct the fizzy lifter, with no fan to stop him, them.That's if Barta doesn't lock up Conner to inherit Fran's Golden Ticket contract with a lifetime of extentions.

how about given him some time to actually gain experience as a coach to see if he's any good at it, or not?
I think the point we are trying to make is that something needs to change and sometimes you get a lift from new blood and new perspective. That's right, someone needs to give him a chance to gain experience. I'm just thinking bringing a guy like this in, young and can probably still hold his own with most guys, would be a good thing. Someone needs to up the intensity level...especially on defense.
