Yet you people persist with the praise of Goetz.

Top that off with overglorification of a new basketball coach that is one year removed from a 15 year stint at a DII school in Maryville (population 10,309).

I remember the days when we had expectations.

this lack of critical thinking is exactly what I EXPECT from you. How can you consistently be so wrong about things? Don' t you find it troubling?

I’m excited!

There are many reasons to be excited for MBB for the coming season, and a few reasons to be concerned. Right now I'm of the "We're so far down everything looks up" school. I expect we'll see drastic improvement over the Fran years. I'm excited. So are a lot of Hawk fans.

Do you have a point? Explain the days that we had expectations and whatever that means? How about some facts and points to back them up with? Lastly, what are your expectations? Are they even realistic? Are we supposed to win a championship every two years in every sport? Please enlighten us.

Were those the days we hired Lick and Alfraud. The problem isn’t hiring a D2 4time national championship coach (who’s probably on most D1 schools shortlist). The problem is we held onto Fran too long. Beth took care of that and probably 90% of the fanbase is happy Fran is gone and Ben is the new coach. And I applaud Beth for this.

BM's 15 year run at DII.. He still is only 43. That's still pretty young for a head coach in the Big Ten. Not like Beth hired some guy on the ass end of his career.

McCollum has won at a high level everywhere he's been, and 31 wins at Drake after throwing together that team in one offseason. Call me crazy, but I'm optimistic that he knows what he's doing.
 
OP comes from the off topic board to the bball board for the first time in years & provides us with this.
Well he is not wrong. What could go wrong with a guy who has little D1 experience? Maybe nothing. Maybe everything. Some people are made for playing underdog. It’s fun until it is not.

Does D2 manage million dollar prima players?

Calm down. Beth hasn’t been here that long. People are happy that she’s making the obvious choices, which is something we’ve lacked since Barta became AD…what? Close to 20 years ago? I think it’s reasonable to celebrate that we aren’t stuck with a mediocrity loving AD that is on autopilot, giving everyone lifetime contracts anymore.
 
I couldn't imagine being such a misogynist dolt that I felt the need to post this garbage on the Iowa MBB board today, the most exciting day in the program in years.
Uh oh!

The honor of m'lady hath been offended! Prepare for combat, sir!!

Silicone dildos at noon!

I imagine the McC regime will look a lot like the operation Painter runs -- recruit top 100-200 players, coach em up, hit the portal when necessary, and no huge NIL overhead.

I think it will work.

Barta was to AD’s as Matt Millen was to NFL GM’s.

Beth will be judged by her men’s basketball and football coaching hires. Nothing else matters and that includes Brad Stevens glossing of her.

Northern Hawkeye. I’m guessing that means he was born north of the border, which would mean a gopher. So that automatically drops his IQ 30 points below anyone on this board.

Kind of like your post here huh......very unimpressive...
 
Gay Woman Athletic director really chafes his ass. Only thing that could possibly worse for him was if she had brown skin.

Your proclivity for invoking identity politics bears no impact here.

Judgement here is based on wins, losses and revenue, within the bounds of applicable rules and laws.
