A year and a half ago many of the same humanoids calling for Lickliters head were calling for Ferentz's head but nobody will stand up and admit they were. Every program, especially Basketball programs in states like Iowa that rarely have D1 quality B-ball talent coming out of it, go through tough years. Our football program during the Ferentz era, which almost all of us would say might be the greatest stretch of football the program has ever seen, went through bad times as well. Continuity is what gets a program like Iowa's football and basketball programs to a level where they can consistently reach BCS games in football and the tourney in basketball. Lick's junior class all left because of mothers dying, dads dying, bad advice, homesickness, whatever. His Soph, fresh and incoming classes have been good. We don't need a new coach, we need patience, just like happened with the football team, that patience will be rewarded. Imagine how stupid of a choice it would have been if Barta would have done what so many on these types of message boards asked for and axed Ferentz.
