That's great for BJ. A great coach that believes in putting together a team the right way. He doesn't need the big city kids but instead goes out and gets the guys (blue collar at that) that can play in his system.
He deserves it and will continue to work hard to make UNI a very good program.

You are 100% right and they will be a good program as long as he's there. He doesn't recruit kids who can only run and jump. He recruits kids who can shoot and play within his system.

He recruits basketball players. Not athletes. Why can't more coaches see the value in that? Congrats to him!
