Hey, what the heck Lick's a millionaire now. It would have taken him twenty years at Butler to make that kind of money. Like JHHawk said.....thanks Lick. People say he is a person of integrity.....sure. If he had intergrity he would have resigned and not demanded more money for the U of I.

Iowa was in trouble long before Lickliter got there, it just all came to a boiling point with Lickliter, he was the wrong coach for the situation that Iowa was really in. He walked in thinking there was an established program, but really Iowa had been on shaky ground with all the issues that were there that were largely ignored when Iowa won a couple BT tournaments and went to the NCAA tourney. The one fault Lickliter had was he had never built a program. Fran is the opposite where he has built programs, but my only concern is he has not built a program on the "major" level. I do think Fran is the right coach for the situation Iowa is in and would have been a great hire the last time as well.

i heard on the hawkeye huddle that paige and ogelsby got to meet some of the late 90's - early 2000's hawks and that paige had mentioned that he was excited to meet Dean O as he was his favorite growing up. can anyone else confirm this?
