It has been awfully quiet within the basketball program regarding filling the Asst. Coaches position and recruiting coordinators position. I know there is a time requirement before hiring. I think it is 30 days, no sure. Would be great if we knew who might be interviewing, but that is hush, hush also.
I agree that Gatens, Oliver, or Horner would be solid candidates. All ex-Iowa players, all with good coaching backgrounds. Will Fran select one from these three or someone new? I was going to say how about Danny Manning but Louisville scooped him up last month. Is there someone with good recruiting ties who Fran has a relationship with. I'm hoping he hires a younger coach, who can relate to these young Men.
Another position, possibly as critical is the recruiting coordinators role. What basketball hot bed should this coordinator have ties to?
Fran keeps things close to the vest which makes it hard to speculate what direction he might go.
It is the same with recruiting. Hard to know who we are in on, very few leaks come out of the basketball offices.
I'm sure we'll know something sooner than later.
