UNI is 8-3 in the Valley ...
two years ago...at this point in the season, Bradley was 7-3 and had an RPI of about 80...and yet there were people calling for a coaching change...can someone please explain to me the weird difference??

Yeah - 2 years ago at this point in the season, I was totally for Coach Les and thought he had done a nice job considering the loss of AW, and was wondering why some were disappointed with what JL had done.
It's just the last 2 seasons for me that have made my decision easy about whether I want him to stay or go.
Some people still think this team would have won 25 games with TB & SM. Well, we'll probably find out next season.
And since we'll get RA, DS, SH, and a 7'1" beast, and losing only AW & DD there is no doubt we should win 25. ;-)

Please. Evansville? What is Marty Simmons' 4-year record there?
Answer: 47-65, and they are 12-9 this season (11-9 against D1). I like Marty Simmons and I think he has done fairly well, but lets not try to rewrite the facts and make him into Dean Smith yet. Note that the cupboard was not bare when he got to Evansville either.
So save the accolades for when he gets Evansville to the NCAA tournament.

And I agree that Jacobson has done a great job at UNI, but some people don't seem to recall that he inherited a perennial NCAA team when he got there.

Sorry you took my post personal. What I was referring to was not to long ago. Some folks on the board were saying Evansville didn't belong in the Valley. I can remember the same being said of Northen Iowa at one time aas they were at the bottom of the league. How times have changed.
 
Sorry kds. I was just reacting because some fans seem to have different standards when evaluating coaches like Simmons, compared to Jim Les. If JL had Simmons' record after 4 seasons, he would have probably been fired.
