ISU, Men's Basketball Coach Greg Lansing Part Ways After 11 Seasons

[tennessee]

Could be. To me, having a joint presser sounds like they offered an extension and he declined and decided to walk away. Then the use it to say it was mutual parting. Otherwise, just makes zero sense to have your outgoing coach there. The AD simply should thank him for his contributions to the program and University and wish him good luck at his next stop/future endeavors.

Further, if he did decline an extension, he really needs to say as much to stop the national media from piling on. Yes, our administration handled this laughably but if he truly loved the program, school and Terre Haute like he says all the time, he needs to end the onslaught. All it will do is further cast the University in a negative light and undo the foundation he put in place. If it were my legacy, that would matter. The next coach potentially has a pretty nice foundation funding aside.

Right, could very well be "they offered me an extension but without a raise."

Almost makes it seem like Greg is leaving by his choice when something like that happens. Don't understand why you'd do this otherwise.

always good to publicly keep the in-fighting to a minimum... both parties look better moving forward

Which is why you don't do a joint presser. That's why it is very odd to me.

It's a triple joint press conference. They're announcing HOOPSFAN as the successor. Just leaked in the media.

There goes the program; we'll be a USCAA program in just a few short years

Wonder how many of the "Dump Lansing gang" are around after next years depleted roster and budget cuts?

0, zero, nil, none, nada, not a one of them

This on Tre’s Instagram story. Looks like he probably won’t be returning

Lansing's name is already starting to circulate around the Iowa State job.

He's down the list, for sure, but seems to be on it.

Maybe. Emotions are running high.

That is why it is now paramount to ID and hire a replacement so that individual can re-recruit the guys on campus.

Almost universal condemnation of this move on Twitter. I think Clink/Curtis have seriously misjudged this move.

As someone who grew up a Tennessee fan and has followed every team in Knoxville for 25 years, I am an expert on coaching searches. These kids will stay on board if you make an exciting hire.

True but when has ISU ever walked to a "normal" beat?

Just like preachers, coaches come and go.

Bottom line get rid of Curtis, run her out of town, a dual press conference, when was the last time u heard that ?
I think Greg just thought, their was just not enough luv by the administration, even though he probably was given an extension.
Now we loose the core of the team, Key, Jake, Williams, Larry, will be be looking at 5-7 wins next year.
Yes, we have a beautiful arena, but winning puts fans into the arena.
This Curtis, knows nothing about basketball. Get her out!

Glad they didn't wait until March 31st, and happy this is over with. For all the rah-rah talk about GL's wins, I believe he ended up tying Waltman for the most LOSSES as an ISU Head Coach....but at least Waltman won a post season game with all of his losses, which is something Lansing NEVER accomplished.

Yep, Lansing lost 164 games in 11 seasons... only took Waltman 10 years to accomplish that feat

Waltman's teams knocked off 4 ranked teams... 2 at Hulman, 1 road, 1 neutral site
Lansing's teams only knocked off 5 ranked teams... 3 on the on road, 2 at Hulman

Lansing leaves with no post-season wins, just like Quitven McKenna

Exactly, the guys may love the next hire
