I get a chuckle when TJ's players, refer to him as TJ. No Coach included. I only recall WBB players using Coach ....
Different generation of coach. IMO it's important the next ISU WBB coach be relatable to players and be a women.

Top 4 in the conference, maybe.
Keep in mind the Football, and Men’s Basketball and Wrestling - the coaches are actively out promoting/searching for NIL deals for their program and players.
Hate defending EIU but they were a 2 seed and 2nd in their conference. The tournament is always a crap shoot, but they put themselves into position to do good things and under achieved in the tournament. What did we do, started out great, got injuries and dropped like a rock.
This is the most accurate post I've seen yet. Thanks for this (And the nepotism runs deep at Iowa State)
With AC leaving, IMO, the root problem appears to have moved from possible concerns within the team - such as jealousy of her getting all of the attention both on and off the court - to other, maybe cementing what others have generously suggested - coaching problems ???? One thing that has always greatly disturbed me - when a player exits the court for any reason, CBF never greets, looks, or other at them. Instead, he looks past them to the court, leaving whatever needs to be said to the assistant coaches. Whether they need correction or a pat on the back, this is BS!!!
IMO Audi is looking at getting a big chunk of cash. Life changing money. This is her chance. Can’t blame her. The others are looking at better money or opportunities. Pollard has more or less said Bill is coaching this next year.
The point is simply that you can’t say “WBB is an extremely top heavy sport we can’t actually compete in so who cares?”, when it’s literally the exact same thing on the wrestling side.
Yeah they got 4th 2 years ago. That was the first time in the top 10 in 15 years.
4th out of ~75 is pretty good, top 5% of teams.
WBB finished #10 in 22 and the sweet 16. 10 out of ~350, pretty good, top 3% of teams.
They have been top 4 once in my son’s lifetime and he’ll be getting his license this summer.
I problem is that pits sports against sports for donors money. FB, MBB and WBB coaches all go ask the same donor for money and competing for that money is not going to be healthy for the AD as a whole.
It's worse than I thought, but we have finished in the top 8 2/3 years and Dresser finally has his footing. I don't think we will dominate the sport, but competing for trophy every few years is definitely doable.
True but both schools have lost as a 2 or 3 seed in recent memory on the mens side. One bad game in the tournament you go home, no matter how talented you are as a team. The talent pool in WBB is not as spread out as in the mens game, 3 seed Ohio State also lost in the same round. Maybe they were both over rated, but you have to play well to advance.
Oh yeah mighty Iowa wbb, the team that lost to ISU and lost in the 2nd round of the NCAA tourny on their home floor. Hopefully they do keep wasting money pumping it into WBB with the false dream that they will be a powerhouse.
They caught lightning in a bottle and it will be a long fall from grace.
No questioning you specifically. I apologize because it did sound that way. My comment was simply meant to apply to any of an endless amount of rumors and speculation that show up here. Sorry.
The coaches themselves or does each sport have a GM type person charged with this? Seems like the athletic dept could use a dedicated person with specific expertise.
