Just curious. If Frans were willing to crawl to Ann Arbor, why didn’t he be already at Columbus (by crawling) since rumor says Iowa doesn’t want to extend him?

I think it's not necessarily about history. Based on the perceived resources, Iowa to OSU feels like a lateral move. However, if based on the rumors that Iowa is not extending Frans and he is desperate, why doesn't Frans consider a lateral move anyway?

That's not true at all?

tOSU has more Final Fours, more B1G titles and the same number of national titles.

Looks like I was off, for whatever reason it feels like they've had more success than Ohio State besides that meteoric run with Oden/Conley.

I'm the same way, I think it's because Ohio State recently hasn't been consistently elite during the same periods when Illinois has been (other than the 20-21 season).

I could very easily see Ohio State deciding that they just didn't want to go down that path. It takes two to make a deal.

OSU had a sitting interim coach who has done a really good job since taking over. If OSU felt very good about Diebler, then I could see them taking a big swing at their top 1-2 choices and then saying "we're good" if those two didn't pan out for any reason.

It's entirely plausible for OSU to say that between someone like Fran McCaffrey and a sitting interim who did well that they'd choose Door #2. Honestly, if I were in the OSU AD chair I'd probably pick Diebler as well knowing what I know.

Would be pretty good timing for one of our own to get promoted to HC ...

Any D1 programs potentially looking at Chester as a HC option?

EDIT: Not that I'd be hoping to get rid of Chester, my ideal situation is Chester goes to a mid major, excels for a few years, then can come back to the beloved when Brad moves on or retires.

Keith Dambrot is retiring from Duquesne at the end of this season. I don’t expect Chester Frazier to be the next Dukes coach, but he could benefit from this job’s dominoes falling.
