Iowa to discuss future of men's hoops program

Mon 15th, March 2010

Iowa City, IA (Sports Network) - The University of Iowa has scheduled a Monday news conference to discuss the future of the men's basketball program amid speculation about the job security of head coach Todd Lickliter.

KCRG-TV has reported that Lickliter met with Iowa athletic director Gary Barta on Monday morning and that neither man would comment after the brief meeting.

Lickliter has compiled a record of 38-58 in three seasons with Iowa, including a dismal mark of 10-22 in 2009-10. The Hawkeyes were just 4-14 in the Big Ten and lost to Michigan in the first round of the conference tournament.

The 10 wins this season marked the fewest for the program since a 10-16 mark in 1974-75.

Lickliter took over at Iowa in April 2007 after six seasons as head coach at Butler. He led his alma mater to a record of 131-61 with four postseason appearances, including trips to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament in 2003 and 2007.
