That was the last time the Hawks made it to the sweet 16. Tom Davis was in his last year as the head coach. I think back to Davis' first year when the Hawks won 18 straight (30 total), we were ranked #1 at one point. He was a great coach but not so great as a recruiter. If the good Doctor would have been head coach and Raveling an asst., Iowa would have stayed really good. George wasn't much of a bench coach but man could he recruit.
Not Alfraud, nor Lickliter, nor Fran have taken us through the first weekend of tourney play. A 25 year draught. It's no wonder CHA is seldom full anymore, Wonder when declining attendance and revenues will force Beth to make a change. Barta did us no favors by extending Fran's contract, although he is on the low end of the pay scale.
