The guy’s only 62 years old. Seems pretty young for a coach to be retiring. Jay Wright’s the only other one that comes to mind immediately.

I don't get it. Why announce now? Is this another 'quiet forced retirement', like Dr. Tom? And didn't the year in advance announcement tank Iowa's recruiting? Again, doesn't make a lot of sense.

arrogant prick

Wonder if he’s going to work on his house now that he is retiring? Or is he still looking for someone to do it for free?

No elite eight appearances if gemini is correct. Ben already has him beat IMO...

Wonder if Ben thinks Iowa is a Football school?

Haaa, nice one.

On that note, do you think Cignetti has a bit of an Alford complex going on at the moment but in reverse?

Curt Cignetti fixed Indiana football. Now he's trying to fix Indiana fans

The Hoosiers are 30-2 under Cignetti, but empty seats and early exits show turning a basketball school into a football school is a tougher task.
