Both have shown that they may get lucky and win big once but both have also shown that they cannot maintain winning programs. Larry continues to be the most overrated coach in our history.
You must be NUTS. Name me any other coach that has won the conference basketball regular season title at Iowa State.
We've have had many great basketball players here, but only LE put them together and won the title. Not only did he win the title, but did it back to back. He had some problems off the court, but he was far and away the best coach we've had, and I doubt we'll have another that good.
