Iowa is going to have a solid basketball team next year so that could be a push. If Brackins returns however, I do see us with a better than .500 record.
McDermott under contract until 2015?

How is he locked in? I understood if GMac left us for a non-Big 12 school, and not Iowa, he wouldn't have to pay any $$$ to us. Did I miss something?
Iowa State was the only job he went after? Suuuuuuurrrreeee.
Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Nebraska, KSU, and ISU all have hired coaches recently? How many of the other schools offered Kruger the job? Or was Iowa State Kruger's only real dream job?
It was the only job he went after that year... Not sure he tried for any others but I can guarantee you he didn't try at KSU. From what I was told I don't think he would have gone after the others either because one of the things he always liked about ISU was that it was a basketball school...
I had heard Kruger had no interest in ISU...this from an ex-Cyclone who owns a local oil company...
When was the last time a commentator on camera said that a coach was not doing a good job?
I don't know...the ex-Cyclone AA tried to get him together with Jamie but had no luck. Maybe there's something more to the story; I love Lon Kruger basketball.
Actually I remember on several games when the TV commentator's questioned Morgan's "system" in his last year. It was obvious they weren't impressed with his coaching ability either.
I agree but they all say it but they seem to go out of their way to say good things about the future of ISU BB.
Lon Kruger is at UNLV its a good basketball school better than ISU and he gets to live in Vegas his wife loves it there who wouldnt!
Maybe their good assistants because of they have ins?:wink: Also, with our assistant's connections, we have ins with tons of players. (Ejim, HB, Kadima, Dykstra, Diante.)
That Moron rescued our athletic program from some deep, deep crap. Morgan had to go. Had to.
I'll take your word for it....that surprises me though, cause its not something you hear very often. Point being though, to whoever it was I was responding to I wouldn't place a whole lot of weight on comments from commentators who have nothing to gain by ripping a coaches abilities. Kind of like Cotlar who never dares criticize anyone in his phone list.

I agree with you on this. Commentators almost never say anything negative about a coach.
If we had Morgan, then Kruger, we would have had about 1 scholarship per year available.
