Looks Like one of the "Elite" Basketball Programs

[Reerun_KC]

Just hired Dana Altman as their new coach.... I guess this is what you get when you "think" you can hire whom ever you chose and those high profile coaches take a pass on the Historic Arkansas basketball Program..

ROFL....

Do they seriously think they are an elite program? Because if memory serves, they had a few good runs and a national title in the early 90's. Other than that, you rarely hear their name.

Oh yes, you ought to read hogsville.net... The meltdown is priceless on there now...


They are bashing Altman already because he was fired from KSU..

[eazyb81]

I don't think Arkansas fans truly think they are "elite", but I know for a fact they expected better than Dana Altman.

[NewChief]

I think Arkansas fans vastly overestimate our school's importance within the national sports scene. People are always whining about how little national media attention we get, how the national pollsters under rank us, and how our players don't get enough media spotlight time. That people were actually seriously kicking around the idea that Self was going to leave KU to come to the UofA is indicative of the overblown esteem that most Hog fans give the university.

They had a great run in late 70's with Eddie Sutton. Remember Sidney Moncrief, Ron Brewer, and Marvin Delph? That was a great team. They have a pretty rich basketball tradition.

[the Talking Can]

wow...they swore it would be Self or Gillespi (sp?)...

I know they have a pretty nice tradition.. Just poking a little fun at Hoggie fans...

All we have heard is how they are going to get Bill S., Bill G, Calipari, Coach K, or whom ever they chose, because the have more history than Kansas... Blah, Blah, Blah...


I feel for them though, they have to feel about as well as most Chiefs fans felt when we hired the Coach... Just a hopeless, empty feeling.

[WilliamTheIrish]

You should feel ecstatic. Now you can bitch about Illinois fans, Arkansas fans, and North Carolina fans.

Should make for a fun summer over there.

Uh oh..someone said the "E" word.

[Demonpenz]

and just think average as Arkansas is they still have a national title later than 88

Wow! Impressive. You'd think with a record like that, any coach in the nation would give their toupee for that job.

That won't be anything near the meltdown that will occur on catspause.com once BillyD signs a huge extension at Florida.

Yea, there would be a meltdown. If it happened Id be upset. But you can be certain I wont wear a "Benedict Huggins" shirt. Or call him the Lyin king.

Why would Huggins leave for a job that he turned down once already? Oh wait, I shouldn't ask that to you probably.

[Bugeater]

Alanm is going to be crushed.

Bill, FYI, I really dont want Huggy to leave the Big 12, other than the Bills, Barnes and Knight, what else does the Big 12 have? We need Huggy to add another team to the top of the Big 12. It is good for us as a conference and good for the level and quality of play in the Big 12...

Huggy is good for the big twelve and from what I have been reading, WVU alumni and AD doesnt want anything to do with Huggy, his bagging or name, just like the last time that Huggy "turned down" the WVU job.

[htismaqe]

This is great.

I was really worried Iowa was going to hire Altman.

[JBucc]

What a great hire. I'm sure Altman will lead us to victory to many years to come.








(Ok, can someone tell me who Dana Altman is?)

[Ultra Peanut]

Hogville is an unbelievably funny place.

Best part is, they were lined up for a nice season under Heath next year. Now, who knows?

[Bugeater]

What a great hire. I'm sure Altman will lead us to victory to many years to come.








(Ok, can someone tell me who Dana Altman is?)
He's been the coach at Creighton University for the last 13 years.

[Bugeater]

This is great.

I was really worried Iowa was going to hire Altman.
Late last week I was hearing it was all but a done deal with Iowa. I almost bumped the Alford thread to laugh at you about it.

[JBucc]

Ah, good ole Creighton. That's where we got Eddie Sutton from. I can't say I'm excited about this hire but at least interested to see how he does with some good talent.

[Pitt Gorilla]

When was KSU's Last title appearance let alone win?I thought you were talking about Arkansas?

[Reerun_KC]

I thought you were talking about Arkansas?


Nah, I was taking a jab at Saul...

[ChiefsCountry]

Altman is a good hire for Arkansas. He is a good Xs and Os coach and if he can get SEC talent, Arkansas will do really good.

[Bugeater]

Altman is a good hire for Arkansas. He is a good Xs and Os coach and if he can get SEC talent, Arkansas will do really good.
Yeah, I don't see why Arkansas fans are freaking out about this, he's done as well as anyone could at Creighton considering the high academic standards they have there.

[htismaqe]

I don't have anything against Altman, he's a good coach.

I would just like to see Iowa do something different for a change. They hired Tom Davis from BC and that was probably the best move they've made in the last 25 years.

[Mile High Mania]

Wow... Altman? I know nothing about the dude and while I don't have the crazy view that Arkansas is elite, they do have a nice tradition and they're in the SEC. I think Broyles should have retired a decade ago...

I'm still confused as to how they can easily fire Heath, yet still give extenstions and more money to Nutt. That guy sucks.

[JBucc]

There are rumors we are also hiring their AD and he will take over after Frank. Creighton will also now be known as the U of A at Omaha.

A source* tells me the Hawks are in close talks with Kirk Speraw, the Central Florida coach. He played under Lute and has done a lot with very little talent.


*source=drunk guy at the gyro stand in the Iowa City ped mall at 2:14 a.m.

Thank God he's no longer a Valley coach. He completely owned my Bears team.

They could try to pry Greg Stokes away from Kirkwood.

[Mile High Mania]

Nutt definitely has pictures of Broyles... there's no other explanation. The guy has a losing record within the SEC through 9 seasons... hell, Ole Miss and Miss State are the only teams he owns.

Sad. Nutt has wasted a lot of talent in a decade... I wish McFadden could go pro now and I'll bet he does as well.

[ChiefsCountry]

Thank God he's no longer a Valley coach. He completely owned my Bears team.

Well every junior high coach in the Ozarks could out coach Hinson.

[Reerun_KC]

I was trolling and found these quailty litlle gold nuggets

"The old timer has never been to Lawrence, but College Station makes Fayetteville seem like heaven on earth. There is nothing good about College Station or the Aggies Basketball tradition (or lack there of). A&M can't match us financially either. If we want BCG, he is ours!"

"I can't WAIT until we get self or BG, and those uppity fans jaws drop!"

"Jayhawk we probably will. Your coach"

"Altman is the coach that got passed up by 7 schools in the Big 12 that were searching for a head coach. Apparently only a top 3 program in the country like Arkansas had a shot at him."

ROFL

[Saulbadguy]

It's kind of a catch 22. Altman, IMO, was never interested in any of the Big XII schools.

However, Arkansas is a big enough program that he did have interest in it - but Arkansas thought they were bigger than Altman. Turns out they were wrong.

I think most of their frustration is about football, to be honest. They hate Houston Nutt. They hate Frank Broyles, and this is Franks last **** up before he retires.

But, Arkansas is the bastard child of the $EC. I bet they all think this is very amusing.

[JimNasium]

That's a good point. Rumor has it that Tubby Smith was in town and we just couldn't afford to pay him what he wanted so they retained Barry.

[htismaqe]

Holy shit, I was over at one of the Hawkeye message boards and they were talking about Altman and the meltdown in Hog nation.

They're already trying to register www.firealtman.com! ROFL

[Saulbadguy]

Arkansas hired Creightons Athletic Director as the DoBo (Director of Basketball operations).

Man, now the Husker Football fans might actually have to cheer for their own basketball program rather than wearing Creighton Blue in March.

[Mile High Mania]

Yeah, the majority of people on the Net are freaking out... mainly b/c it seems like Broyles hasn't had his shit together for a few years. The hole Nutt saga and now this... going from having your sights (supposedly) on a big name and then you reach out to a private school and hire a dude named after a girl.

[Reaper16]

Despite what insane Hogs fans may think, this is probably a very good hire.

[htismaqe]

Despite what insane Hogs fans may think, this is probably a very good hire.

In this case, good = SAFE.

No doubt, Altman is a good X and O guy on the bench. It remains to be seen if he can recruit to the level that needs to happen if they want to be a contender in the SEC.

Alot of Iowa fans wanted Altman. They thought the guy could get them to the tourney ever year, and they're probably right.

For me though, I want more than just the yearly "one and done". I'm sure Arkansas fans are no different.

Can't argue with that. Altman seems like a decent guy to take that chance on, though.

[Chan93lx50]

[htismaqe]

Doesn't matter what I want at this point.

The hire is done.

Iowa will introduce Butler coach Todd Lickliter tomorrow...

Can't say I'm real excited about it.

Kinda fits into the Dana Altman category.

Two Sweet 16's, finished the season #19 and got a 5 seed. Just announced yesterday that he was National Coach of the Year.

Seems kinda reminiscent of the Alford hiring.

[Skip Towne]

Zing!

There seems to be some confusion about that, the word late today was he isn't going. Dunno wtf is going on.

I think it has to be a happy medium. I absolutely can't stand this place after a loss. The negativity gets out of hand.

As far as Lickliter goes, I think he is a solid hire. He is a coach that flew under the radar, even though he was named the National Coach of the Year. He has taken Butler to two Sweet 16's in the last 4 seasons if I am not mistaken, and he's got a 4 Star recruit headed to Butler. I think the Iowa basketball program needed a guy like Lickliter. They got burned by the last "big name" they hired, and it's time to start over.

There isn't a message board in the world that doesn't gravitate towards extremes. This board, though, generally represents BOTH extremes well, whereas HN the last couple of days has been completely one-sided.

Dana Altman took the high road.

In less than 24 hours, he saw a number of things that he could not, would not, live with and made a decision that very well could be career suicide.

He met three times with Arkansas Chancellor John White and then met with the media and said all the right things for the University of Arkansas.

Not for Dana Altman, but for a school that has some serious issues, apparently ranging from academic problems to more critical areas.

Understand, by not telling all, he probably made a lifetime commitment to Creighton.

When he refused to bring out the laundry list of problems, he made it look like he had buyer’s remorse. And he was willing to do that for a school he has no allegiances to because he’s a man of character.

Never think for one second that he did the school wrong.

Altman came in with the intent to return the Razorbacks basketball program to national respect.

He worked late Monday night making contact with high school coaches and people he needed to believe in him and the UA.

By Tuesday morning, things were not adding up, and he began to dig deeper. When he was told personnel changes would not be made, he called his wife and then his former athletic director.

Before 7 p. m. Tuesday, 26 hours after accepting the job, he resigned to return home.

By then, the Razorback Foundation jet was en route to Augusta, Ga., to pick up Frank Broyles.

A headhunter agency in Atlanta is going to be hired to find one of its clients who has been fired, or is about to be, to take the job.

That’s a shame.

A shame for the UA, but more importantly for its fans who believed that after an initial jilting by Texas A&M’s Billy Gillispie, the right guy had been hired.

And he was, but he was not apprised of the entire situation because specific information had been withheld from bosses.

The University of Arkansas athletic department has never had more egg on its face than today, and it would have been worse if Altman hadn’t taken the high road.

It has nothing to do with the rumors that several players were ineligible, some had tested positive for drugs and that others may have had their hands out.

It has to do with the fact that the fans trusted the state’s flagship university not to get in this position.

The fans counted on them to be above board. To look out for them.

Thursday, recruiting begins for college basketball, and the UA doesn’t have a head coach.

Instead, the search begins with some outfit in Atlanta — where Broyles and Jimmy Dykes conducted their own search while almost every coach in America was there — that probably has no idea how to do a hog call.

They don’t understand the passion and pride the Razorbacks represent for the majority of the people in this state, and more than likely, they don’t care.

They will care about their fee.

The sad thing is this could have been avoided.

The search for a new coach started with Gillispie and then went into a free-fall until they happened upon an excellent coach with great character — Altman.

At one time, it was being said that Memphis Coach John Calipari was a candidate, and all this reporter could do was wonder why Mississippi’s Andy Kennedy had not been contacted.

All he did was win with some of the least-talented players in the SEC.

Or Mike Montgomery, who had great success at Stanford before an ill-advised moved to the NBA.

It initially looked like the Razorbacks had lucked out.

Altman is a coach’s coach, but he came to town and his five senses quickly told him it would be better to be a lifetime coach at Creighton than deal with the problems that won’t be solved because the people who allowed them will remain on the payroll.

[Reerun_KC]

Ouch that is a pretty damaging article on the pigs...

I'm not so sure Dana will be looking for another job anytime soon, I was really surprised to see him leave Creighton to begin with. I also have to think backing out of the Arkansas job like that will be a black mark for him, whether he was justified or not.

True, but who wants to walk into a job that has been completely misrepresented to you?

It might leave a mark, but he should have never left in the first place... I think he did the right thing, no need to drag his name through the mud trying to fix their lies and problems...


Sounds like the piggy’s are in deep for a couple of years... What about the NCAA? They might be involved now with the talk of academic issues, drug use and money changing hands….

You're talking about a school with a football program whose head coach has an "if you're not in jail when it's time to practice, you're fine" mentality. I strongly doubt this straw will break the camel's back.Nutt will be out soon enough, hopefully.
