1- He'll be competing in a weaker conference.
2- He'll be in an athletic department that makes much more money overall, although there's no telling how much of that would be spent on basketball.
3- He won't have to worry about getting fired for producing the results he did at IU.

1. Weaker but not dramatically weaker. Then there is the problem of keeping your players motivated in games they are supposed to win. 2. How does more money (aside from facilities and coaches) mean more wins, siince we aren't supposed to be paying our players? 3. Give us back to back tournaments, then have a bad year, get back in the tournament but then have a really talented, highly rated team that beats powerhouses early in the season but doesn't make the tournament. You don't think the negatigers would be out in force howling for blood?
