Raveling setup Dr. Tom...Raveling was underrated for what he created roster wise before he left.
I agree Olson/Miller were top tier coaches and well above average. Dr. Tom did reach Sweet16 on his own, which Fran has never done. I would say Dr. Tom should have made the Final-4 with the talent he had with Raveling's players.
Fran has a record that is a little bit above average...I would guess his overall B1G record after you factor in losing record in BTT is a winning percentage of 52% or so of his Big10 games. I view Big10 winning percentage as the key metric---it is vs his peers. I don't see Fran's record is a problem. It his his lack of NCAA success and never really competing for B1G titles. . It doesn't seem like his teams are capable of making a run in NCAA play because defense is not part of what Fran believes in.
I do feel Fran is setting up the table to be coach at Butler. Matta must be planning on retiring in 2 years. We know Fran grooves on playing his boys and not being able to control the PT for Jack has to be bothering him.. The paycut he will take doesn't matter a lot because Iowa has made him very wealthy.
