**2025 Iowa Offseason & Coaching Search Thread***

Nice tidbit from that Stirtz interview...Coach McCollum just randomly getting a call from Brad Stevens to talk ball during a film session.

TOS update: Thursday morning update: Word should start to get out today about Dix. Return to Iowa still on the table. One source said it's Iowa or Indiana at this point, however not dismissing Illinois at this point.

well which is it

 

[UnKnOwN_SeRb]

Not sure...yet.

This isn't a criticism of you, but it's amazing how many people make money off of not knowing anything.

So Kansas.

 

[BillyBob]

That’s some L tard level info

That's what I do at work all day

 

[TimkoLawson]

From an engineering perspective, how do they add clubhouse suites in Carver?

 

[Hawk&Balls]

take out the top 10 rows on the sidelines, build them out.

 

[TimkoLawson]

Wouldn't that involve tearing out everything else at that level?

 

[KitKatApples]

More than likely

 

[TimkoLawson]

It'd probably be a lot easier if the practice facility wasn't attached to it.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Wouldn't that involve tearing out everything else at that level?

Everything else at that level? Air?

 

[TimkoLawson]

Everything else at that level? Air?

The rest of the building/structure unless they enter from the front or side of the suite, which would be weird but doable I guess.

 

[TimkoLawson]

They should've just built a new arena w/ practice facility before they built the current practice facility and just killed someone for the financing.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

I would imagine the doors would be on concourse-level. This doesn't seem that hard.

 

[TimkoLawson]

Yeah, I suppose you're right. I think it's gonna look weird either way.

 

[Mysterio]

they can make it work but retrofitting boxes in an existing arena is not an easy task. long overdue though. should cut down on the elevator line a bit to have all the old folks up top

 

[Hawk&Balls]

It'll probably look more like the section on the east end than anything else, just more enclosed

 

[Mysterio]

whatever they do it has to be easy access for food delivery, beverages, and the staff bringing the concessions without disrupting the view of the game. have they actually said theyre doing something??????

 

[TimkoLawson]

I thought they said they had plans to do it for either $60mil or $120mil. Didn't somebody post that here?

 

[AZmessDAWG]

I appreciate @TimkoLawson ‘s original thoughts on the topic.

 

[TimkoLawson]

@RehashLawson I got something to say about soft serve cones as well.

 

[Fair and Balanced]

From an engineering perspective, how do they add clubhouse suites in Carver?

A lot of math. Equations and whatnot.

 

[KitKatApples]

Circumferences to the radius on the hypotenuse

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

Traore has portaled up.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

This isn’t that difficult, although it might be expensive. But taking out 10 rows and building suites 3/4 of the way around the arena would solve a whole bunch of problems:

New premium seat revenue
More intimate setting
No more watching from up top
Wider concourse
New vendors
Louder

 

[JR Hawks]

Nobody loves engineers, blueprints, and expensive infrastructure more than university staff. They will figure this out or die trying.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Plus the new parking ramp across the street will solve that issue assuming there are pedestrian walkways over the street and traffic control in and out of the games.

 

[Jim Tebow]

Traore has portaled up.

He's long gone

 

[kenos]

He's long gone

got it -- Mar 28.

Johnson-Arigu seems to be in the mold of Manyawu so hoping he stays.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

YES!!!!!!!!

(ok, enough of the Drake kids)

 

[L. Wade Childress]

We’ve almost got a starting lineup

 

[Moe Howard]

Not gonna get too worked up over Year 1 roster. More excited to see how we’re going to play.

You can deny this in a court of law that you and Moe are on the same page here. Moe doesn't care about tournaments next year, probably a good idea to make the Big though. Franny Ball looked fun, however in the end you got to have athletes to complete the entire deal, offense/defense/rebounding etc. Or you're off to NIT heaven or the Crown!

You got a mouse in your pocket?

 

[snips]

ol' Moe makes some good points about needing the athletes to complete the entire deal

 

[TimkoLawson]

Dude shot 44.8% from the line

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Dude shot 44.8% from the line

depends on which line I guess

 

[TimkoLawson]

depends on which line I guess

Maybe the white line will help him.

[Revolver]

This is the most interesting non-Stirtz commit from Drake IMO. Now the message needs to be:

 

[iowa4ever20]

I think you still take Banks as well.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

I think you still take Banks as well.

Absolutely.

 

[rodg12]

Yeah, have to take Banks as well

 

[snips]

gotta take banks
