It all goes together though. We get Big Monday games and GameDay because of Hoiberg. We won't get that with most other coaches.
Most likely without Hoiberg, we'll be at the level of Oklahoma State, Iowa, Kansas State, etc.

In your case some drugs may be in order.
How many Big Monday games did we have in Fred's first year? Second year? We have Big Monday games because we became consistently good under Hoiberg, leading to high external expectations, plus the rebirth of a great home environment. Any coach that wins here at the same level will see the same, if not more due to the program having greater recent success than what Hoiberg walked into.
She thinks our success level under Floyd was at a McCaffery led Iowa level...she has literally said that.
Not sure this is totally true. The Hoiberg story has helped get some of these games.
The past 1-2 years of Fred to the NBA rumors has damaged recruiting and won't be fixed if he stays unless there is a huge NBA buyout and verbal commitment to stay put for at least the next 4 years.

Even if you want to consider him that, in the context of this conversation it points to high school recruiting not taking a hit if Fred leaves.
True, I forgot about him; but I was meaning guys who have become significant in games (so far) so he's in the 'tbd' category.
You are so far off base its not even funny. You make it seem like the selection committee has their TI-89 graphing calculators out and making sure that every pick and move is a calculated approach. If you believe that, you are incorrect. Why did UCLA get in the tourney last year? It wasn't because they were actually a great team and the tourney selection team saw that. They are UCLA, and the brand alone brings them to the table. We have a brand as well, and we will lose that brand if Hoiberg leaves.
Exactly. Everyone who thinks Iowa State Basketball can be what it was without Hoiberg has either got some serious over confidence or isn't really in touch with reality.
Hoiberg put us back on the map. He knows this and that's why the decision is going to be a tough one for him. He cares about us, but at the same time he knows he's worth more.
All we can do is offer him $4-5 million per year and extend his NBA buyout to $4-5 million and just hope that he bites and recommits.
Plus or minus one seed but it's not a significant factor. UCLA was very close either way and in hindsight a very good choice considering they made it to the Sweet 16.
I don't buy your argument but at least use a better example of a team not deserving of a NCAA birth than one that made it as far as Fred did with his best team.
Lol, you remain a ray of sunshine. Than goodness you're here to keep us grounded.
Ucla made it to the 16's because of controversial call, and us ******** the bed. Good for them, they took advantage. They weren't a good team.
4th in '97 until they lost a stupid home game vs. Marquette. Iowa would have to put a body on Kenny Pratt!
