Add me to the elderly crowd. Gordon Stauffer. Not a great coach but had a lot off good players.

Interesting story from indystar. It does have a sycamore connection and connected to this thread.

Dave Schellhase followed by Larry (Ron) Greene. 
One year while playing UE in Roberts Stadium, the PA announcer referred to him as "Larry" Greene, and that's been his name for my buddies and I ever since.
But, hey, at least I got to see all four years of John Sherman Williams...dude who could ball!!

Great article

I found it most interesting that they were considering hiring Ron Green. If they had we would have missed out on that opportunity.
Gordon Stauffer, he transitioned us from NCAA college division to Division 1. We also left the Indiana conference with St. Joe, DePauw, Evansville, BSU, Butler, etc. and formed the short-lived Midwestern Conference with BSU, Illinois State, Northern Illinois and SIU.
And at that time, Gordon “Slim” Chalmers was our AD. He didn’t know squat about our athletic landscape and passed up a golden opportunity to join the MAC along with Ball State and NIU. Although the MVC may be a better b-ball conference, I think the stability of the MAC overall, is better.
Hindsight is always 20/20, but we definitely should have joined the MAC with Ball State (if that was an option).

the Univ President had little interest in the MAC with ISU_Muncee and the Trees STILL don't have the $$$ to sponsor FBS football
Duane Kleuh and Gordon Stauffer
Leaving behind our biggest rival was a dumb move. Instead we joined a league at the time that stretched all the way out to the Texas panhandle and into New Mexico. Now we're stuck in a league with no true rivalries and with Horizon League caliber programs like Evansville, Valpo, and the Flamers; and viewed as third tier to Testicle Tech.
05-09’ Waltman and McKenna. Not great years but every now and then you could witness something cool.
Take it up with ol' Doc Rankin -- I'm sure he'll welcome your input

Rankin could care less about our conference affiliation. He relied on the recommendation of his AD.
Chalmers was the culprit that kept us out of the MAC.
Let me see if I understand your "logic..." you've been quick to assign truckloads of blame to Dr. Curtis for destroying ISU BUT you're giving a pass to Dr. Rankin not pursuing MAC membership? Which is it with you -- the UNIV PRES is charge of all OR the AD?
SMH
My logic is simple. See if you can understand this? Curtis is bad for ISU! Rankin wasn’t.
