Good coaching tips the scales.....

Wow...it's attitudes like this that got us into the Lickliter years. Tom Davis always had us in the NCAA tournament, never lost in the first round, he wasn't good enough for fans like this so he was let go. Brought in a big name Steve Alford who let Iowa to 3 NCAA tournaments and 3 NIT bids in 8 years, he wasn't good enough so he bailed out. Brought in Todd Lickliter who absolutely destroyed the basketball program, down to the point we were losing scholarship players. See the pattern?

Now we got a coach who resurrected the basketball program from the dead, got good talent to start coming here again, get's Iowa back to the post season in his 2nd year and the NCAA Tournament in 3 of the last 4 years and a few idiots on here who think the grass is greener on the other side want to run him out of town. Anybody with a brain could see the inexperienced talent this team has, and another solid recruiting class has more coming in. All the experts like Iowa's future, Iowa is in position to be good for a long time.

So the bottom line is the only people that have their heads buried in the sand are the ones that think this program is not heading in the right direction. The ones that look at a low major like South Dakota State, who managed to win a horrible conference tournament playing an hour from their campus, or Iowa State who has also had their fair share of adversity. Firing Fran right now would be stupid!

Fran is winning Big 10 games at an unprecedented rate in Iowa history AND it looks like the next few years will be better than the previous few. Not the kind of coach you want to run out of town.
