Some more quick hitters on Lansing's tenure as head man:

Well, for all those who were worried that we had rushed the hiring of Lansing, I'd say he's proven to be the right man for the job. We're lucky to have him - most ISU coaches don't put up anywhere near the numbers that Lansing has. Keep it up, Greg!!! :thumbsup:

Lansing has really been a great fit for us. We are probably getting the most bang for our buck as far as our budget is concerned than most programs in the country. Its amazing what he has already done and he will probably move on someday. But I think we will see just how good of a coach he is once odum and company graduate in a couple years. That is gonna be a blow to the program and a lot questions will be answered the years after. But here is to hoping that lansing will reach the tournament about 4 more times before he moves on. Great job coach!!!!

I think we've all been critical at times of Lansing's coaching decisions at times but looking at those stats makes me realize that the BB program is heading in the right direction. He's doing an excellent job given the budget he's allowed to operate within.

Thanks for those stats! Great work!

His won/lost record speaks for itself.

I think you are right on all counts.
