After all the interviews with players this year about how they didn't know where they stood with Lickliter, had no relationship with him, but they liked the assistants and the assistants did most of the work, its no wonder that Butler is having continued success with the top assistant who, apparently, did all the work when Lickliter was at Butler. It seems that if he had brought all his top assistants with him, we would have been at least okay, but we got the two most inexperienced ones and one with no major conference experience. I think this is why that experiment didn't yield very good results, because with all the good players at mid-majors, how could they not get them to come to a BCS conference like Iowa, just in over their heads.
