I'm not arguing with the fact that Lickliter didn't get it done at Iowa. He didn't get it done, period. What I am saying is there is more to making a program work than just x's and o's.
Uthoff will probably be a better fit at the 3 than White is. Uthoff likes to work outside the paint and has a more consistent shot than White. I would rather see us use more zone when we have White playing the 3. Same thing for next year if either White or Uthoff play the 3. Both of those guys can play a little further off their man on the perimeter, yet still be able to get a hand up because of their length. That will also provide them with help nearby should the person they're guarding get a step on them.
Right now, Jok is a deadly shooter with NBA range and close to above-average athleticism. Like others have said though, if he ends up regaining his athleticism pre-injury he is elite. If things end up falling into place with him he would have good chance at starting at the 3.
Didn't Jok go like 3-14 from 3pt land the other day?

I don't really agree with you.
Lickliter didn't get it done at Iowa, that much is clear. However I don't think he's a bad coach. He was highly successful at Butler and you don't forget how to do things overnight. I think it was a perfect storm of things that didn't go his way at Iowa in addition to fans turning on him.
People are really in support of your current coach but what has he done that has been so much better other than have higher scoring games? I guess I just don't see why there should be such a wide gap between your previous coach and your current one.
Uthoff is more like marble than he is white. He is a perimeter player and defends the wing better than white does.
This could not be more wrong. Uthoff is much more comparable to White than Marble and Uthoff is most definitely not a perimeter defender.

Jok will be a more athletic version of ogelsby and he has the makings of a capable defender. He will give us a second true shooter.

If sweeping 1 team in the conference is the goal of your team then you are right Lickliter didn't accomplish that. What is the goal of your team? To beat Wisconsin every year but not make much growth defensively as a team/program?
You don't become National Coach of the Year by not knowing what you are doing.
How many games did you see him in Vager?
