When you are the only established program in a mid-major conference? Yes.
Is Fran building a regional powerhouse or just calling Iowa fans idiots and morons?

Nice edit.
Do you think it would be easier for Gonzaga to make the NCAA tournament/earn a higher seed playing in the WCC or the ACC?
A power conference or better (AAC like Wichita did) is always the correct answer.
So you think Gonzaga would be able to get a #1 or #2 seed better than half the time (over the last six years) playing in the ACC? I could not disagree with you more.
I’ve never talked about seeding, I’ve talked about getting into the tournament.
Look at Syracuse some of these last few years. People were furious they got in.
What was originally said? Using the premier mid major conference team as an example seems like a bad idea. Most mid major conferences are one bid leagues where one slip up in the conference tournament screws you.
Correct.
BJ also thinks the amount of time you’ve been AP ranked (which has probably been around for half the NCAA basketball seasons) is a better indication of program quality than all time wins and NCAA/NIT appearances.

Iowa’s Fran McCaffery and Andrew Francis are here, keeping eyes on @TheCityRocks and @PSACardinals. Several prospects they like on both teams, including 2019 PG Noah Hutchins. (Mika Adams-Woods is out with an injury.
To clarify, I assume your referring Hutchins will look "right" in Black and Gold...
I expect nothing regarding his play for Fran to be considered great.
Though I suppose the comments in this thread when NH commits to Fran would be great.
Benji sure does seem to go after other posters intelligence quite often. Has a way of leading one to believe there are some insecurity issues there.
