Why would he leave Iowa? He has quite a bit momentum going there, especially with a Top 25 recruiting class coming in next season. I'll get flamed for it, but its nice to see Iowa State and Iowa being the good teams again in the state instead of Drake and UNI.
Perhaps he'd be concerned about half the fanbase dying from old age before next season?
Fran is treated like a God at Iowa right now.....but once they end up with one more losing season Iowa fans will want his head.
This...
He can finally take that Kansas State job that he convinced everyone he was offered...
Why?
2 years in and he's really proved nothing.
Winning at commuter colleges is a whole different animal.
You can take guys like Marble, Wassabe, and Tony (Big House) Hubbard and win 20 games at Sienna. That won't work where he is now.
Iowas attendance increased for the second straight year. Attendance wouldn't be one of the reasons.
Really? Proved nothing? Iowa won 18 games this year, which is 8 more games than the last 3 years, and first winning record in 5 years.
Iowa was a bit better this year, but lets not hide the fact that their conference schedule was extremely easy (for Big 10 standards)
Being sarcastic? Iowa beat Wisconsin twice, Indiana, Michigan and Minnesota twice. Now I know Minnesota is not as good this year as many thought they would be but it's still tough to beat a conference team twice.
I was hoping Iowa would get to 17-18 wins this year and they did but it was not at all how I thought they would get there. I thought they would be Campbell, Clemson and Northwestern at least once. I did not see the road wins against Minny and Wisky.
Overall they showed great improvement throughout the year and they have a solid group returning. Marble and White should be all conference performers and hopefully Basabe gets things figured out and he can do the same. Iowa will be a more athletic team next year than they were this year.
If Iowa would have been a 16 seed in the NCAA tournament, they never would have won that first round NIT game.
