Hope you’re right. WVA AD being McCollum’s AD at NW Mizzou would be the most Iowa outcome ever.

He's going to choose Iowa. This is a smart play by him to a) get more money and b) make sure Iowa and their donors wake the fuck up and commit to it.

Makes it a bigger splash hire for the Hawks as well. Draws some eyes to the program.

I can't remember if it was here, Twitter, or somewhere else, but someone said that Indiana basketball was essentially Nebrantska football and that is 100% correct.

To think they had Kelvin Sampson nobody to blame but themselves

what a sad state of affairs at Indiana that the best they can do is chase the Drake/WV coach that Iowa is trying to hire.

this is what I am having a hard time with...
DeVries is a fine candidate.. but not to the extent that Indiana should get into a bidding war to obtain his services...
makes no sense.

Well their last two hires weren't exactly awe inspiring. Mike Woodson was a WTF hire imo.

He's more than a fine candidate. He's about as good as it gets most years. Was considered a top level assistant that turned down mulitple head coach opportunities in 20 years at Creighton in building that program, had never before seen success at a marginal at best program at Drake, and then already has shown in one year the ability to recruit and coach in a top level conference. that's not a "fine" candidate.

People bitching about Devries (or McCullom) are very Iowafan.

FWIW, Kakert seemed to confirm Iowa is moving on in their coaching search. Looks like it will not be Devries. Hurry up and lose Drake.

IowaFan is honestly more proud and interested in women's wrestling at this point. That is where we are at.

Time to learn McCollum. Did a quick scan of his Tournament box scores at NWMS and averaged them. He was still slow, but not glacial like this year. Generally low 60’s in possessions.

Too late. This public debacle is devastating news for the program. No coach worth a shit it taking this job, and McCollum will have much better options.

What an all time fuck up by Beth. You don't fire Fran unless you had your guy locked up. We would be 100x better off keeping Fran than getting left at the alter by a home state dream job guy.

This is absolutely going to bury Iowa at the bottom of the Big Ten going forward.

Lol, all because of that stupid Michigan State stare down game 2 years ago. If they lose that like they should 99 times out of 100, they implode and miss the NCAA Tourney and Fran gets fired last year and DeVries waltzes into the Iowa job with zero issues.

Now they are completely fucked and Fran is likely going to get some job and make the tourney within 2 years at his new home.

Well technically, Fran is still available. We could pull a George Constanza and act like they never fired him.

1. Apparently it wasn’t his dream job.
2. There were two clear candidates. If we lose on him, it’s time to freak out. People on that donor call Friday got the sense that she preferred Ben.

Little too early for this victory lap, don't you think, Kamala?
