I enjoyed the article quite a bit, but this paragraph confuses me:
Since the Hawkeyes’ three straight championships in Brands’ second, third and fourth seasons (2008-10), Iowa has wound up third, third, fourth, fourth and now second. No cigar. And, that’s difficult to accept when your mentor once reeled off nine titles in a row (1978-86) and then added the first six of nine championships over a 10-year stretch from 2001-10.
Does that make it sound like Gable was still coaching 2001-10 or am I reading it wrong? Actually, now that I think about it I think it's just a typo and should be 1991-2000.
