    What were your goals coming into the season for this team? Where are you in realizing those goals? How do you use goals to motivate athletes?

    How do you match up against Bucknell? What impresses you most about their team?

    What do you think about the Polls? To most fans of college basketball it seems the two major polls, the AP and Coach's, have been off this year. Do those coaches that participate really have the time to evaluate all these schools? Would you like to serve as a coach that votes in the Coach's Poll?

    I've always been curious about how student athletes budget their time between school and athletics. It would seem to be a significant challenge. Is that as much of a challenge as it would seem to an outsider? How has that changed, if it has, since you were a student athlete?

    How much are you going to miss your graduating seniors? Can you briefly give us a run down on your incoming class for next year?

    Have the rumors of interest in your services from other schools effected your recruiting?

    How far do you go looking for recruits? Do you go far outside the Midwest? How do most recruits appear on your radar screen?

    You've done some incredible things during your time at UNI. Did you think you would have this much success this quickly? Where do you see the program at in three, five, ten years?

    Did you always want to be a college basketball coach? What do you enjoy most about the job? Least? Be honest!

    What's the goofiest question you've ever been asked by a fan or media type?

    What fundamental basketball skill do you believe most high school basketball players need to improve upon?

    What's the most difficult venue you've ever played or coached in?

    Do you have any drills or training that you put the guys through that might be unusual or unique?

      One more, and it's fitting:

      On a scale of 0 to 10, with zero being none, how much does the constant rumors linking you with every open coaching position bother you? When prospective recruits ask you about these "rumors", what do you say them?
      "Lot of people talked about Ohio State or Georgetown or Michigan State or whoever, [or] Maryland in our bracket. When the brackets came out, the first team I looked at was Northern Iowa," Kansas Coach Bill Self.

        Will there be a Greg McDermott call-in show this week?
        The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

          I actually don't know. Better email the boss, I suppose! I was just wondering this on the way back from class.

                    Coach, it appeared that wearing the ISU hat made you very uncomfortable. Do you think that is b/c subconsciously you knew you made a mistake?

                    And as a follow up, why is your mascot a red bird when your are actually the Cyclones? Have you had time to figure that one out yet?

                      The new red bird is better than the old red chicken they used to have...
                      If computers ruled college basketball the way they do football, we'd have skipped all this March Madness monotony and just waited a month for the Kansas-Kentucky title game. And watched Northern Iowa play Cornell in the Poulan Weedeater Bowl. ~ Dwight Perry The Seattle Times

                        ISU's Mascot used to be a Cardinal, there's a whole story about a newspaper article and them changing to the Cyclones after the article

                          I'm glad to hear about the change you mention. I don't think we could beat ISU with Albert Pujols playing the low post.
