Got to know JO quite well after he moved to DSM after coaching. He used to drink coffee at the Dahl’s on 8th St in WDM a couple of days a week. Unassuming and profane as all get out.Played some golf with him...he loved golf, I think more than he loved coaching BB! He was an assistant FB coach, asst BB coach and head Baseball coach at UWisconsin back in the day...and he had some stories to tell! He always had a bit of an edge towards UIowa and he loved beating the Hawks! He did get ISU basketball into the 20th century and laid a solid foundation for their successes after he left. Oh, BTW, he really had a strong dislike ( hatred) for Gene Smith, the current tOSU AD, who fired Johnny from Iowa State. They didn’t exchange Christmas cards.
