Re: Iowa State

Justin Hamilton would be a nice addition but I don't think he sees Cedar Falls as being closer to home...

Re: Iowa State

He will probably try to get BYU to take him since his parents were athletes there. If not, then one of the other Utah schools.

Re: Iowa State

It will be Mac's last year at ISU I am afraid. His style just didn't work.

His problem wasn't just style. The guy has no clue how to deal with kids that you have to recruit at that level. Hamilton has killed himself for that program, and done everything Mac wanted him to do. He played the last part of the season with a sports hernia.

Then he sees Mac cave to Colvin, and he sees Dendy take minutes from him after all that he did. There are a lot more problems than his "style."

He has done a horrible job there. His reputation has taken a huge hit, especially when people know that the ONLY reason that he will be back there next year is because they can't afford to buy out his contract. And when you realize that the price only goes down $500 K he might get another year after that.

By that point he won't be able to gravy train off of the work that Jake has done. He is looking at starting at the bottom again, of course his bank account will be in much better shape when he starts over. So I guess that is a big positive.

They will be Iowa bad next year.

You know, it really bothers me when I see these kind of prognostications. How is it that you KNOW how a team will perform months from now? It was just over a year ago that a few of you KNEW that Jake couldn't coach and that we would spiral down into nowheresville. Why did Jake get the job so quickly etc. Does it come from just a negative outlook on life? Please, help me understand how one goes about KNOWING so much about the future. Also, please PM me with numbers for the lottery!

Yeah, I guess since Mac has been so successful at Iowa State, the odds are pretty good that they will be in the tournament next year.

It's a pretty simple equation, although I am sure that I will need to explain it to you. When you play in a Big 6 conference, and you have no talent, and at best spotty coaching, you don't win.

As far as Jake goes, don't include me in the category that thought he was bad. When Jared Josten has to play lead guard for your team, you don't have any guards (no offense to JJ he did the best he could, but he would have been better served playing on the wing like he had for the first three years he was at UNI).

That explains it. Makes more sense then the "Mac can't coach" garbage. Thanks.
