With Lick, we didnt even have a true big, yet we chose to play a slow it down, defensive oriented gameplan. I think Lick is a good coach, but you have to adjust. That being said I still want to get a true big man to defend the paint.

He was a recruiting coordinator at ND so he knows the midwest. He almost snagged Jess Settles away from Iowa back in the day.

I love the hire. Anyone who doesnt, is simply because they have never heard of him. Would I have taken other coaches as well? Most def, but he’s our guy now and I’m rollin’ with it 100%.

I’m excited about this guy. Mostly because I have been waiting for us to press on defense. The big ten is all about power basketball and big men. If we can press and create easy turnovers, we can keep the ball out of the hands of the talented bigs. Look at Evan Turner. He had 9 TO’s in a tourney game. If we can cut the heads off of these offenses (pg), we could be more successful.

My only concern is that it is easier to recruit talent to stay in NY, especially when you can grab overlooked kids from NYC. I need to know he can recruit in Iowa, which doesn’t have the same draw. For that reason, until I see him coach, my preference is for Ben Jacobsen. I want to make sure he can recruit for a big program as well.
