You mean the joint Floyd and Eustacy commercials? Like the one where they were digging up treasure in Eustacy's back yard?

I enjoyed his sense of humor, some of the stuff he used to say was priceless.

I also liked the fact he got fired up on the sidelines...always seemed to get the guys going.

Hands down, best coach we ever had.

Agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man, is it fun to watch him coach a game. Plus he's a great recruiter.

Most overrated. The guy can recruit but he can't coach. He is a poor man's Barnes (Texas).

Look at him at his stops since ISU. He has been fired from the NBA jobs and he hasn't done anything at USC despite having talent better than 95% of the other teams

In Tim's short time here he got commitments from Cato, Willoughby, Fizer, and Hinrich...four pretty decent players...not to mention Rancik, Shirley, and Nurse.

The dumbest thing he ever did in his career was step into a Jordan, Jackson, Pippen-less Bulls job and expect good things to happen. He was doomed to fail from day one.

His commercials for McDonalds were great. I liked the one when he and his wife were at the ballet.

Does anyone else remember the Big 22 classic...our 2nd ranked recruiting class (of which half didn't make it to campus) against the best incoming recruits in the Big 10 and Big 12 in Hilton...Fizer, Rancik, Henderson (ruled ineligible; won the dunk contest and was the most impressive out of our recruits that day though), Bruhton, (ruled ineligible; was later drafted into the NBA but never made a roster), and a couple other guys that didn't make it.

Tim was a players coach.. seen him once at Wallaby's and he talked with me for about 15 minutes about Derrick and all the players at that time , ISU Basketball needs to get back to that level again.. with or without Gmac
