Yeah, 'not letting go' is different than pointing out that a coach didn't do much with plenty of talent. I'd also say it's accurate to assume Jimmy Butler's presence wouldn't have mattered much considering nothing happened with the line ups available.
That's proven further in Hoiberg's 1st year when he went .500 with essentially a bare cupboard.
It was her. Or so she claimed. I don't think it was the girl he married a few years later though.
Hey, Lickliter almost killed the Iowa program, and I don't care about him at all.
Alford, on the other hand. **** that guy, because 1. Pierre Pierce, 2. *********, and 3. Northwestern State.
Great. You guys have managed to make Jimmy Butler the ISU version of Tyler Ullis and the Hoks. I have a feeling we'll be talking about Jimmy Butler for years now...
Funny thing has always been that the one team I liked from Alford was his last one that screwed up.
I always felt like he deflated the program with trying to make the culture something it wasn't with the 'Hawks' nest', etc. or whatever he was trying to label everything.
He actually coached one more year after the Northwestern St. upset and missed the tournament.
Ah, got it. Was thinking he left as McDermott was coming in.
Obviously not a memorable season, but Steve's teams generally underperformed IIRC. I remember they made the NCAA's one year because of a Big Ten tourney run.
That team was actually pretty good until Luke Recker got hurt (17-6 before dropping 6 of last 7 regular season games, then winning 4 games in 4 days and then getting a first round NCAA win over Creighton). He had a lot of teams that underachieved, but that one wasn't one of them, IMO.
Didn't Rahshon Clark post here too? And wasnt he and his fiancée on, like, some TLC engagement reality show where they competed for a dream wedding or something? Was that the same girl?
