Altman Staying?

Dana is still the dean. What if he took a leave of absence? He miss any games or practices, he had a moment of indecision and came back to where his heart was. This happens with married couples from time to time, but they don't declare their marriage 'over', just a rocky time that they overcame. I see this as Dana having a moment of doubt, and coming to the RIGHT decision.

Great day for the MVC - the top 5 coaches remain intact, keeping the league strong as ever. Next year may be a slightly 'down' year, but with our top coaches returning, it won't last long. Power conferences retain their top coaches...we are a power conference! The proof is in the pudding!

Couldnt agree more. People are blasting him. Get over it folks. Ever change your mind? Its easy for some to criticse others but when THEY do it it can be explained away.

Dana is no sleaze bag low life coach. I HATE him as a rival :wink: but he is a class guy. Good for him and for the Valley.

What happens had he stayed at Arkansas but was never really happy. Ark. fans should be relieved he made his decision now instead of half way through the year or something.

Sometimes it takes more courage to admit you made a bad decision than it does to pretend you made the right one. I watched online the news conference at Arkansas and it was clear DA was uncomfortable. Passion for the job wasn't in evidence--in the end this decision is a good one for DA, Creighton, and for Arkansas.
 
HMMM

HMMM

Hmm Let's see......

Danny (I'll try baseball) Ainge
Danny (I'm looking for a job as of now ) Adams
Dana (welcome back) Altman

Those were at the top of my head. Maybr the initials
DA stand for DON'T ASSUME. :-P

Here is an silly article where the writer gives his opinion why Dana Altman went back to Arkansas (see 2nd part of article)--
We figure he woke up and realized at Arkansas, he had to compete against teams such as Florida, Kentucky, LSU -- and win. A bit more daunting then battling schools like Bradley, Southern Illinois and Wichita State in the Missouri Valley Conference.

Here is the comparison based on this year's RPI. Not nearly as much difference as this writer thinks there is!--
Florida- 29-5 RPI 6
Kentucky- 22-12 RPI 13
LSU- 17-15 RPI 91

SIU- 29-7 RPI 7
Bradley- 22-13 RPI 38
Wichita State-17-14 RPI 100
