His record is brutal.

But speaking of Aces coaches, what if Marty can manage to pull off another 20 win season in a transition year. That would be 4 out of 5 seasons with 20+ wins. He inherited a program that was at its lowest point ever and has managed to post 24 and 25 wins in back to back years. If Drake is looking for an experienced coach to rebuild a single digit win team, why not look at Marty Simmons. He has already proven he can do it at a similar school with less resources.
I do expect that idea to be immediately dismissed on this board. But IF Evansville has another good year, would Drake try to pry away Marty Simmons with a better offer.

He could replace Muller at ISU, then it wouldn't be an issue! The Dupree and co could have been disciplined on Monday and start on Wednesday.
