Iowa basketball is widely regarded as the inverse of Iowa football; all offense, and no defense. Yet they were held to a low score and won the game on a hustle play. 

total chitshow.

This attempted comparison was one of your weaker efforts, please try again.
LOL, if your defense is Hoiberg is in his fifth season, Gard is in his 9th season, and Collins is in his 11th season, and this is supposed to mean something to anyone, I think I win that round.

Kermit got that job after upsetting Big Ten teams in the tournament in his last two years at MTSU, so maybe you have something there
Would make for good Muppets memes

I pointed out that those guys have things called accomplishments, since Holtmann doesn't the comparison favors moving on.

Penn State just won in Bloomington. 

They have a first year coach and they have a better team than Holtmann's seventh attempt.

Start all upperclassmen except for sophomore Kanye Clary.

I don't necessarily agree that experience is the problem but it makes no difference in terms of evaluating this coach because:

Our coach has had SEVEN FREAKING YEARS to figure out how to accumulate enough experience to put a competitive team on the floor and the only team he ever had that even got close to a league tire was the one where he didn't have much to do with constructing the roster.

It makes a difference for next year, because we could have a pretty solid team coming back, or we could have no one come back and get excited if we are 11-11 in February.

Bulls#!t and you know better, don't make stupid comments. 

I reviewed tOSU BB history early in this thread:
  • Top-10 all time per AP
  • 10 F4's, tied with MSU for 6th nationally behind only the bluest of blue bloods UNC, UCLA, DOOK, UK, and KU
  • 14 S16's 
  • 20 Big Ten Championships, trails only PU and IU

This one feels like it should be done, sorry Sam. It could work, but it’s sports, it probably won’t. 

He’s closing in on the thing that gets you fired. Is what it is.

And a bunch of empty seats. Sorry, but facts are facts. If people don't support the program or go to the games, you can pretend that is all the coach's fault, or you can embrace reality and finally realize this ain't a basketball town and people don't care about it. That's not a proud history. Pick a pony.

I'm not even against it. I wanted to see defensive improvement, and it hasn't been there. But I also see a young team and I'm seeing us go threw the knocks of a young team and then blowing it up before we get the rewards. Then we turn 2 years of crappiness into 7. The idea that we have nothing to lose is silly if you pay any attention to the sport at all.
