Day Five: Iowa Basketball Coaching Search

Yesterday was about the rumor mill churning out a lot of noise. Today was about finding out which rumors were correct. Turns out the folks who were saying it was a “done deal” that Darian DeVries would be coming home were not correct. Now a new potential destination has emerged that could offer him more money and NIL support.
We look back on what was a wild day on the coaching search with an oddly worded tweet from Pete Thamel to what exactly prevented him from taking the Iowa job and how it was a two-fold issue of salary and perhaps more importantly, NIL funding. We also look at who will be next for Iowa athletic director Beth Goetz as far as a target in her coaching search.
