I know Brian Jones would jump at the offer. I think he would be a great fit.

Chuck Norris doesn't go "hunting." "Hunting" insinuates the possibility of failure. Chuck Norris goes KILLING.

No offense Chuck, I've always been more of a Sheree J. Wilson fan myself http://www.shereejwilson.com. Here's a better question we should start writing about Chuck, how long will Wayne Morgan have his job? Big 12 is very weak this season with only one good team (Texas), and two decent teams (KU and OU). Even though Iowa State lacked veteran post players, how does Iowa State go 5-9 in this season's Big 12 with Blalock and Stinson, or lose at home to Fresno State and Iona?"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.Comment

Good point DWadle. I don't follow ISU that closely, but it seems like their team is a meltdown waiting to happen (public criticism by teammates, Morgan being a hot head etc.)Originally posted by DWadle1983
Also, earlier response reminded me of a great line from Rambo:
Sheriff: Why do you have this big knife?
Rambo: Hunting.
Sheriff: What the hell do you hunt with a knife???

Seeing a post about Iowa State has prompted me to share my opinion on the question of Wayne Morgan.
A lot of Cyclone fans have been very critical of Morgan and the team this season. I think some of the criticism is warranted, but not to the level some fans have chosen to take it. Wayne Morgan is still the same coach has was last year when Iowa State won seven games in a row and beat #2 Kansas on the road. What has changed is the eligibility status of Jared Homan, namely that he doesn't have any left.
Poor post play and soft post defense have really hurt Iowa State all year long. IMO, a lot of people overrated Iowa State (a lot of people, including nationally respected college basketball journalists, had Iowa State in the Top 25) just based on Stinson and Blaylock returning. And while they are certainly a talented backcourt, missed free throws and silly turnovers down the stretch (example, at Oklahoma) have really killed us in a few close games. It's very hard for me to figure out Iowa State this year. There have been some games were they have looked really good (winning the State of Iowa "championship") and then looked really bad.
It would be a BIG mistake to fire Morgan after this one disappointing season. I don't expect either Blaylock or Stinson to declare for the draft yet, and ISU will return all five starters and give their big men an offseason to develop their bodies and game. Next year if Iowa State is 15-12 and 5-9 in the conference, Morgan will be on a pretty hot seat.
BTW, Stein Pizza, I'm not sure where you get your information that Morgan is a hot head. He has a very calm sideline demeanor. In fact, some Cyclone fans irrationally and moronically think that he is a bad coach or that he doesn't care because he doesn't go apesh!t every five minutes like Larry Eustachy.Comment

I was basing that on his shouting match with Mac last year. I admittedly don't follow ISU that closely, other than glancing at the DM Register online to see if they won/lost. But negative public comments by one of your guards directed at your bigs suggests that team unity and chemistry are lacking.Originally posted by UNIChippewaComment

I wasn't there for the shouting match. Occasionally he does get worked up like that, but it's not too common, certainly not like Tim Floyd or Larry Eustachy.
Yeah, Blaylock did call out the bigs after they got destroyed by Nebraska a couple of weeks ago, but since then they have played better, at least until the Baylor game a couple of days ago.Comment

The shouting match was an isolated incident. Morgan seems pretty laid back and I think he learned a bit from that situation last year.Comment

If....it's still and if...there is an opening at UNI...if they don't give Brian Jones a look for head coach...I'd love to think he'd be a candidate for an assistant position. Great scout, knows talent, good with kids and parents and has UNI ties. He'd look gret back in purple and gold in my opinion."10% of life is what happens to you, 90% is how you react to what happens."Comment

That's a name I hadn't thought of. I have a hard time imagining that leap though. What are his responsibilities at Iowa?Originally posted by panther2317If 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

It'll be Coach Ben, he is capable of running his own team now, and stays with Mac why? My guess because he wants to take the reigns when Mac steps out, whenever that may be.
GO PANTHERS!!!

Brian Jones is on the end of Iowa's bench more often than not. He is their bottom assistant.Comment
