I thought money was not a problem. If Forbes is the best we can do we just as well do away with the basketball program and fire Barta. WE NEED TO AIM HIGHER!
It's not about name recognition. It's about finding the best coach that fits. You need to be forward-thinking here. History is replete with AD's that hired a relatively unknown that went on to become very successful. Some became legendary. It's not about what the individual is now, it's about he can achieve.
Forbes can recruit and he wants the Iowa job. He has been around great coaches for many years and knows the game of basketball as well as anyone. He will assemble a great staff. He is passionate about basketball and about the Iowa program. IMHO he would be an excellent choice.
