Wisconsin adds Dean Oliver to their coaching staff

I know it's Wisconsin, but I'll say it - good for him. Hope he learns a lot, is successful, and might come back to Iowa some day.
It's business and moving up in your career. It's the job your were hired to do so you do it
Because Iowa hadn't posted an assistant coach job opening.
Adding Deano to the coaching staff is like adding another player to Iowa's roster: nice idea, currently full.
Shocker. Wisconsin hiring Iowa guys.

One of my all time favorites. Hope he is successful other than when recruiting against Iowa.
Great opportunity for Dean. Working his way up the coaching ladder and a land a job at a school with so much recent basketball success says a lot about what the current staff thinks of Dean.
Dean coached at North Dakota for three years. So he and Jeff Horner are two from the Brian Jones coaching tree now
Seriously. I don't know why anyone would not understand this but it's obvious some here don't. Deano wants to coach and this job came up and they wanted him. I'm sure he'd love to coach at Iowa but AFAIK, Iowa has no openings for assistants so Deano is pretty much out of luck here, at least for now.
As you point out, it's business and moving up in your career, wherever it happens. Dean Oliver clearly wants to be a college coach and Wisconsin is a pretty damn good place to hook up. I'm thrilled for him. Good job Deano.
Ahh good. Putting Iowa spies into the Wisconsin camp. Kill them from within. I like this strategy.
Go back and read this thread again. Clearly some do not. Specifically, those who think he should have waited until an Iowa asst coaching job came open.
Let him cut his big league teeth at Wisky and when Andrew Francis takes his head coaching gig in a few years....Deano come back home.
