Can’t watch right now either, but a promise isn’t even necessary really. It doesn’t take a genius to see how Iowa operates and assume he is a (the?) top candidate for the HC job after Kirk goes.

2+2 does, in fact, equal 4.
Lester makes more sense, He has actual HC experience and success and full coordinator experience and is far more gregarious with Boosters and the Press. When Kirk retires it makes more sense to promote Wallace to full DC and ASST HC

Seth was chosen as acting head coach when Kirk served his one game suspension.

Wallace has no credentials to be a head coach. If Iowa stays within its ranks to replace KF, Lester would be the clear choice. It's not even close.
What are Lester's credentials? Being fired as head coach at Western Michigan?

He's already the Assoc HC. You can't promote him to a job title he already holds.

And its also clear whatever our opinions on the matter are, won't make a darn bit of difference.

The best in the business. Very fortunate to have him in Iowa City.

Kinda like Jan Jensen
REally, after the season Iowa had, I think JJ did a very good job and the team just shot poorly down the stretch, should have easily beat Virginia with a two more baskets or a few free throws dropping.

I am hoping that the two new guards coming in along with Chit Chat will give the hawks a team that can penetrate more.

This is why I'm selective about podcasts. 73 minutes for an answer to one question. No Thanks.
The worst thing about Iowa Everywhere podcasts (aside from the company being started by a Cyclone) is the number of advertisement reads during each show, it's egregious.

Tyler Barnes did an interview and had to sit there while the interviewer talked about getting testosterone injections. I don't want to hear about Chad's dick not working unless he gets a needle each week and the look on Tyler's face indicated he felt the same.
