Fran was in a similar situation also, only took him 11 years to get a good team.

This year will be his 6th NCAA tournament appearance. He'll have made post season play of some sort every year but 2. This, despite taking over FAR worse of a situation than Prohm did. I won't call Fran world's greatest coach there are far worse things than being in the hunt for a NCAA tournament berth almost every year.

Aside from Penn State and possibly ISU, what other Midwest, Big 10, Big 12 school would have an opening after this year? Thinking of potential competition for coaches that have been mentioned already.

Drake now up 15. DeVries must have a hell of a halftime speech because Drake is firing on all cylinders right now

I haven't watched a ton of this game, but one of the things I've noticed is their halfcourt offense doesn't seem much more creative than ours. That's one of the biggest things I want to see change.

I disagree. Drake is patient. They’re good at finding the easy shot.
