Eustachy a Cyclone at heart.

Thats called tossing in a dig at Iowa. Eustachy is classic for. Doing things like that.
With LE even when we lost we were never out-coached. Something I'd like to say about the football team.
Perhaps, but I think it's just as likely that Stinson or Blalock or maybe even both, plus maybe Rahshon Clark, would have transferred out at some point in those two years based on rate of in-season and out of season roster turnover those last two years.
It's all 20/20 hindsight at this point in time anyway. WM did coach those teams to the NIT Final Four and won an NCAA tournament game, so it's not like we turned into Nebraska.
He is the Natty Light part of ISU's Wide Right and Natty Light. He is part of ISU, good and bad. Clone to the Bone, heartbreak or elation Iowa State is hard to give up.
I like to remember the good times with Eustachy, Floyd, Orr, Hoiberg...all of them are integral to what ISU is now.

I'm pretty sure he led the conference in steals or was 2nd both years. And I think he was pretty high up the ranks of blocked shots for a PG. I wonder what his def win shares rank would have been.
That's the most amusing take on Tinsley's defense that you'll ever see.
Nobody playing outfront on defense keeps absolutely everything in front of them, it's next to impossible.
The reason it worked is because for the most part JT and Horton locked down the opposing guards.

While I think LE was the better coach, it's hard to say if he'd have done better than the NIT Final 4 and NCAA 2nd round accomplishments of those two teams. They had good talent, but no Tinsley and Fizer. I also think Morgan probably gave those teams more freedom to run and go one on one than LE may have. But I'd agree that LE coaching and Morgan recruiting could have been a dynamite combo.
Eustachy was the man who last had the Clones winning the Big 12 regular season titles, not once but twice! Not even Hoiberg could say his team won it even once.
Gunner is right. He had a lot of blocks and steals, but he was not a great on ball defender.
On on a different note, I think that Stinson would have absolutely thrived under Eustachy. Probably would have hated his guts and played to spite him.
