"In fact, none of McDermott's four ISU teams cracked the 16-win barrier. It's fair to say McDermott's tenure was getting closer to make-or-break time; either the coach was going to turn on the winning, and fast, or he was going to be relieved of his duties and replaced."
"What's interesting about this is that the tables are turned: Iowa State is a BCS conference school with a history of occasional basketball success. It's the sort of place that fancies itself a coaching destination. It does not fancy itself a stepping stone to a Missouri Valley Conference program, not even one as good as Creighton. In this case, though, that's what it was. The tables are turned."
Wow.
Amazing what an AD and a backup plan can do... I guess.
