Yeah. That 30 for 30 on Loyola Marymount and the fastest offense ever seen had a player saying games were rewards from practice because games were fun since they were so well oiled from practice.

Great hire and I still don't know why anyone was against it. He was obviously a great assistant to ever be promoted to HC. His teams overachieved with lesser talent. Iowa State isn't going to take a hit in recruiting, it's just going to keep getting better. Being an assistant at Iowa State doesn't make you one and done for a HC job, see Otz. Some people just reach for anything to try to find the negative in it. Great hire.
Otz and Doc are two totally different scenarios. Doc wants to get back to being a head coach probably as soon as possible bc he has already been one. Otz was trying to work his way into being a head coach. Doesn't mean he will only be here one year but it makes it more of a possibility.
I never played basketball, because I have bad hand eye coordination, but I had a wrestling coach who "tried" to do this.
If you can survive over and hour of getting your *** kicked you should be able to give 100% for 6 minutes.
Going from Nowledge to Knowledge. Atta boy Sadler. It was a long journey but you finally made it!
Can we get a collection going and pass the hat around CF to establish the CW vacation fund? For the good of Cyclone Nation, we need to ship Chris out of town as much as possible.
From everything I have read, I think this is a good hire. Gives that experienced coach that can still only help the program. He should help to improve the defense enough so that maybe those games won't slip away at the end. He even adds some to the recruiting with his ties in Texas and other areas. So what if he is looking for a head coaching job? I really don't think I would want an assistant of any kind that was not looking for a better position.
What I really like when reading about this hire, and the types of things that Kane said about why he signed here is that ISU MBB now has a distinct identity.......something it did not have at all under the previous coach. If playing up-tempo and the success of transfers at ISU makes recruits and transfers want to come here.......that can't be a bad thing, can it?

I'm pretty sure Mike Nurse said this about Eustachy's practices as well. He said something like "game days are like a day off".

I for some reason thought is was Kantrail Horton (sp). A little off topic but my question now is who is going be a stable point guard? Just can't see Bubu in that position for too many minutes. A lot to pick from that's for sure.
It could have been. I thought it was Nurse because during conference play wasn't he one of the top 3 in minutes in the Big 12? But then again in my old age I could have it all wrong.
At any rate my favorite Mike Nurse quote:

This was a great hire. The key ingredient missing from Hoiball is the ability to make life a little tougher for the opposing teams on the offensive end. There was a lot of room for improvement on the defensive end. The one thing ISUdoesn't have problems with is putting points on the scoreboard. We saw exactly what Hoiberg's offensive system was designed to do against Ohio State (One of the better defensive teams in the country).... ISU missed several bunnies and dunks and still managed to score 75 points on the Buckeyes. Keep in mind that only 2 teams had scored 75 or more points against the Buckeyes last season prior to ISU accomplishing the feat... those teams were Indiana and Michigan. Duke couldn't do it, Kansas couldn't do it, Michigan State couldn't do it, etc...
A little better defense could go a long way when you can score points like ISU can.

That I now play on North Iowa's premiere 9-hole golf course (it was 7 holes at various times the last 10 days, including Monday), and hopefully close to 18 holes next Thursday.
Coaches leaving here to become a HC isn't a bad thing, it would be a real good thing actually. The only time it would be bad is it it was Fred leaving to be a HC anywhere else. As long as he's here, the talent and wins will keep coming.
