ISU can go to ways in the level of coach they hire. 1st will the level.of commitment to moving up to the AAC or the CUSA. With other athletic programs needing to increase the level of compilation for them, the MBB can benefit. Hence, the need to hire a higher level coach to be competitive.
2nd, if the school decides not to elevate the basketball program as they do other programs then hiring a lesser-known or division II coach would be the better option. I know that some of you will disagree by saying that Murray State and Belmont and joining the Missouri Valley Conference, would Elevate the program. I would strongly disagree. Missouri Valley would still be only a one bid league with Loyola moving on that only leaves two good teams.
With ISU losing their volleyball coach is a sure sign that the commitment to a bigger conference is needed to attain and maintain great coaches. From the volleyball standpoint, the MVC is only a 2 team league as well , and I wouldn't blame her for leaving to go to have a chance at a higher ranking just by being in a bigger conference, in this case Michigan State.
I conclusion, being a big fish in a small pond is just that,limiting. And as a sports Community if you want their Athletics to be to have better athletes and better coaches you have to make a commitment to do so. I just hope that you are willing to move on as well from that small pond because some of you are a very small pond minded. As all of you are very painfully aware, that many schools that moved away from the MVC start gaining more national ranking after doing so. So go you damn Redbirds and win this game.
