    Selfishly I hate to see Alford go because I'm admittedly no fan of Iowa and everyday he was there that program got weaker. The lack of energy among the fan base and in-fighting about whether the head coach should stay or go was bleeding that program. And frankly that was good for UNI hoops.

    I can't blame Alford though. He's in desparate need of a fresh start. There was too much negativity associated with him. And obviously there are rumors all over eastern Iowa about his personal life and that had to put enormous pressure on his family. Will be good for them to get a fresh start in a new state.
    Winning is more fun than losing.

      Yeah, apparently Altman or Chris Lowrey to Iowa is already a done deal.

      Although, joking aside, I wouldn't be as surprised by Altman as some would maybe be.

          More like I wonder if Gary Barta is kicking himself for not canning Alford last year and getting McDermott.

          (Last March) Gary Barta sitting at home watching the News HEADLINE: "Andy Katz reports Northern Iowa Head Coach Greg McDermott accepts Head Coaching Position at Iowa State."

          Barta: "Crap I didn't see that Coming, I should have fired Steve a week ago and this wouldn't have happened. Well there goes our basketball program."

          Barta's young Child: (to his dad)

          LOL I don't know if Barta has young children but It just thought this would be funny, if it wasn't I'm sorry.

It's sad, but it's the message the committee sent loud and clear this year.

              Totally agree with you willie on Iowa hiring Coach K. The better the coach, the better the competition, and we all know we can compete now. Bring it on Hawks!
              bring it on hawks is right!!! And Tyler Smith if you want to play at UNI the door is always open. Although you actually have to attend class unlike at Iowa.

                Wasn't Bowlsby still at Iowa last year when Mac was hired by ISU?
                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'm saying Lowery to Michigan...

                    Lon Krueger to Iowa....

                    Altman could be in the mix, but Creighton been a great job- Less pressure..?

                    Who in there right mind would want Kentucky 10- 20 win seasons and you are pushed out...

                    I'm sure they will pay 2 mil, but you have to ask yourself if you are Billy D (Example) already making 1.5 mil...Is it worth it..?

                      It's John Calapari at Kentucky. That is the one opening that I am most sure about...

                        Curious as to why?

                          He is the one that all of the Kentucky boosters want. They wanted the administration to get him when he left the NBA and before he took the Memphis job. They will throw over $2 Million at him. He will also really remind them of Pitino.

                          If he can recruit the way he does at Memphis, imagine what he can do at Kentucky...

                            Dana Altman to Iowa
                            Tom Crean to Kentucky

                            Just my two cents.

                              I must be the only person in the state that likes Alford. I hope he does well at New Mexico.

                                I agree 2317,

                                I thought he did a hell of a job the last two years. When he got here he was really handcuffed recruiting wise when he walked in and had to take Horner and Brunner. I always thought Horner was WAY overrated and it took 2 and a half years for Brunner to figure out the Big 10 and become a really good player.

                                The loss to NW St. is what sealed his fate. That loss, a fluke, was just too much for the fan base to overcome. That team overacheived to get a 3 seed and the expectations of that fan base were just way overblown. Even if they win that game, they would have lost to Pitt in the 2nd round and the fan base still wouldn't have accepted that...imo
