Yeah, it's not like leaving for a few years would prevent them from bringing him back. Having a variety of experience would likely be MORE important than already being on staff.

UNI definitely stays in the running. In the end, he probably goes to Virginia in that scenario. Tony Bennett pursued him pretty hard.
You likely know a lot more about UNI basketball than most here so I value your opinion.
I'm interested to see if we will find out though.
The only reason anybody on this board wants Green is his kid AJ. No offense to him but if we're hiring a guy just to poach a kid, we should aim higher.
Look at his resume in comparison to the other candidates. The son factor is obviously a bonus, but the guy has solid credentials too.
Totally fair, but most assistant coaches resumes aren't always impressive. We are discussing 1 of 3 names CW mentioned in the OP.
One of Berry's recruiting area was the Mid West specifically Minnesota and Wisconsin, I would assume Green has good contacts in those states (and Iowa obviously) and familiar with the recruits. In that aspect I could see him as good hire.
I'm not advocating for hiring Green but that could be a reason to put him a head of other options.
I do agree Prohm shouldn't hire him just to get AJ on campus, it is far more important the new hires style of play and have the strong recruiting ties to help Prohm in the future.
And he played at ISU passing up offers at other schools so this wasn't really a good argument lol
And he also revived Hilton Magic from a long coma.
Just because he really wanted to coach in the NBA doesn't undo everything Fred has meant to ISU.
How dare you besmirch the name of my pain relieving miracle god person!?
