I mean Painter has won it two more times than Izzo, so such is life once you raise the expectations
Well, Painter has a winning record against Izzo, so it makes sense.

I figure fans can either be butthurt about it, or they can take the @medinabuckeye1 route and wear the high expectations that rule a school coach out from winning it as a badge of honor. 

If Painter is constantly eclipsed because the expectations are excellence, and he fulfills them, while other coaches overachieve (for lower results), I mean, can I really be mad? 

Just win, baby.

This is exactly my view.

I hope the Ohio State football coach keeps on being consistently one of the best in the league and the Head Football Coach never wins COTY due to expectations being so high that it is effectively impossible to exceed them in any meaningful way.

I sure as hell wish that some fine day, Hoiberg is expected to finish in the top 4 of the league and NEVER wins another COY

I think back to a few years ago, listening to Badger fans on this thread talkin bout their expectation of a top 4 finish in the Big.

I thought that was more than Nebrasketball could hope for.

I hoped for a conference record of .500 or better and a finish in the upper half of the conference.

I still think this season was crazy for the B1G and Hoiberg.

Not to be matched anytime soon

Exactly.  If you win the award, you have set a low bar for your program generally

Yet Purdue is 2-7 against him in March.  Which checks out :72:

I guess the question is, does Juwan have any shot at things being significantly better next year?
He's likely losing Olivier Nkamhoua and Tray Jackson (and possibly Terrance Williams II).
They've got a couple of 4 stars coming, but nothing that screams "instant impact".

I'm guessing that Warde has given him one more year to finish top 4 or he's gone.  At that point, there's not going to be any blowback from anybody for justification.
I mean college basketball is so year to year now, and UM has money, so the roster could be way better.  But their roster last year was loaded, and went to the NIT.  So its not a talent issue.  But also in this era, its not like giving a coach an extra year digs a deeper hole.  There was an age where letting a coach go a year too long also cost you in recruiting

WBB is eclipsing MBB. 

Iowa 3-peats in WBB Big Ten Tournament. 

Iowa, per ESPN bracketology is overall 2nd seed in tournament, which if stars align would lead to an Iowa-South Carolina championship final. Iowa can hope South Carolina continues "fighting" its way, with player suspension(s), into the final game of the tournament. That said, Kamilla Cardoso, doesn't guard any shooter at 35 feet.

3.02 million viewers

Iowa's come-from-behind win over Nebraska in the Big Ten Women's Basketball Tournament final averaged 3.02 million viewers on CBS, making it the most-watched women's basketball game on CBS since UConn-Tennessee on Jan. 10, 1999. The game peaked with 4.45 million viewers in overtime.
