Miles has to be the answer but I really, really thought Hoiberg would lead us out of our Basketball desert.  We have certainly been irrelevant this century.

To be honest this has been a garbage century so far. Zero stars...would not recommend.

"Conference Win %" means CONFERENCE GAMES ONLY.....

 

 

So, how'd the coach before Cipriano do? Can you include him in your chart?

Cip and Moe got grief on their abilities but were good coaches.  If the NCAA format was the same then as it is now, we wouldn't be wishing for our first NCAA tournament win.

Agree.  The Grant Simmons, Nate Branch, Willie Campbell, Stuart Lantz and Tom Baack team was a good one.

E none of the above would be my first selection.  I will go with Miles.

What about inflation-adjusted salary-to-win percentage?

$500,000 per win is a pretty sweet deal if you can get it.

Would Doc have gotten to the tournament with the resources new arena/facilities?

Not without a massive change in recruiting philosophy.

I'll give Barry Collier his first vote for being the only coach to quit before he could be fired.

Doc Sadler made like 20 bucks an hour and management eventually bumped him up another 50 cents, and when he had the audacity to take the full buyout when he was fired, some people on this very board acted like he had robbed them personally of the money. I don't recall being as pissed off at any group of fans on a message board ever.

 

To those douchebags: We're paying Fred almost as much per win as we paid Doc per season. How do you like them apples? If you were among those who were pissed about Doc's buyout, I want to hear you complain about the $3.5 million Fred is getting paid for the product on the floor this season.

So maybe hiring Jerry Bush's grandkid wasn't the can't-miss play we might have thought.

Would Miles have gotten us there more if two straight ADs didn't cut his nuts off?

I wish there was some way I could go back in time and bitch slap Shawn Eichorst.

There were plenty of us that recognized at the time what an absolute chicken shit move it was for him to leave Tim hanging like he did.

All of those coaches listed where likeable, but to me none more so than Barry. He's a man I would have gladly sent my son to play basketball  for. On top of that he had a dry sense of humor with a lot of "Barryisms". I remember one post game presser where he said that going down the stretch of a game he was as nervous as a "bad girl" sitting in the front pew of church on Sunday.

One of my first posts on here was falling for Eichorst to be fired and this board neg voted me into oblivion. Theres a strong revisionist history on here regarding Shawn Eichorst.

Nope gonna watch the lame duck coach flame out and hopefully the rest of the athletic department is out the door with him.

Miles did go with him. That post was 100% accurate. This board treats Miles like he was Naismith.

It's not what you're saying, it's how you're saying it. It can be off-putting.

I'll go with Delvie Lewis, Jojo White, Ron Franz, Al Lopes, and Walt Wesley.
