If he stays, there's no Dr. Tom. That probably cuts both ways, too. But he (like Lute) was a West Coast guy who wanted to go back. He was never long for Iowa City. Iowa fans never really accepted that from either of them. An instrumental, if complex, figure in program history. RIP, Coach.

Raveling is such a complicated figure for Iowa hoops fans: He didn't win much at Iowa. 54-38, sub-.500 in the B1G. But he built the greatest team in the modern history of the program before he left. But him leaving for USC, 3 years after Lute left for Arizona, killed the program's self-image.

The year that Nebraska ordered Mike Riley to hire Diaco as DC was the same year I decided to do a new parody song every week for the podcast. I covered the entirety of "Desperado" as "Bob Diaco" and it was my finest achievement as a podcaster, so good that I simply quit after that.
