Sam Okeys 7 games as a Hawkeye in Dr. Tom’s last year were fun.
Sam Okey had one of the best dunks I have ever seen in person. A one hander in the lane after posting up. He probably didn't do shit after.

Saw Jeff Horner at my son’s bball game tonight. Looks like he’s still coaching at Truman State. I wouldn’t mind seeing him get involved with the next coaching staff

I’d be very surprised if that happened.

Maybe I'm not remembering correctly, but I think he was suspended or had a personal leave or something that wasn't related to his cancer.

I think the most excited I was about Iowa basketball outside of the mid 90s was when Alford was recruiting Beas Hamga, Emmanuel Negedu, Lewis Jackson, David Lightly, Evan Turner, Jake Kelley, Dairese Gary, some Malik guy from Pennsylvania etc. There was a random Canadian, Nathan Skinner in the class with Tony Freeman and Kurt Looby.

Then he missed the NIT and left before getting fired. Such a shitty coach.
E’Twaun Moore too. That was a wild time. He went from getting guys like Ben Rand, Seth Gorney and JR Angle, then he booted Lansing and Jones, brought in Neal and we were suddenly shady as hell. Got Tyler Smith and were in the mix for all the Indiana Elite guys and the crooked host program after he gave Adams a job.

Kakert always got fed info from those guys and actually had scoops on baseball recruiting. He was traveling all the time to AAU tournaments.

Adams is now an assistant coach/recruiting coordinator at Cincinnati. Who also has former Alford assistant Tim Buckley on staff.

Always wondered where Noodles Neal found the money to pay Smith.

Iowa fans need to get over the "we need to hire an Iowa guy" thing. I want the best coach, not someone who knows where Pagliai's is.
None of the basketball coaches Iowa has ever hired other than Sharm Schuerman has had Iowa ties.

I’d prefer a coach who wants to recruit Chicago, Milwaukee & Minneapolis. Whether he has Iowa ties or not is not a concern. Billy Buttfucker from Tenderloin, Iowa is going to come to Iowa anyways.

Oh I know- I just think average dumbfuck fan who always wants Horner, Dean Oliver, etc etc is really annoying and needs to pipe down.

Unless we hire Bruce Pearl. That would be nifty.
They are small minded, simple people.

I don’t necessarily want someone with Iowa ties or a former player as HC but I don’t mind seeing a former player on the bench in an assistant role

What’s the deal with Horner anyway? I see he got suspended after he was named coach of the year at Truman State
