We are in agreement on one-and-done players. I too would like to see it more like the NFL than current NBA policy.

Iowa had some good teams back then, and those Coaches all were special. I was one that HATED Bobby Knight, but have learned to like him as time has passed.
Got to see your Coach, Lute Olsen bring his Iowa team to WSU against the Shockers at the 1981 regional. That was a very special day, as I had honestly found the ticket on the floor at Dillards an hour before the game started. NO ****ing way could I have afforded to gone, especially those seats.
Carr and the Shockers came back from 15 down at half to win.
The Jayhawk game was second, and anti-climatic, many of us left, we were worn out.
