We had to suffer through nine years of mediocrity to experience Monty's "best move"? Wow.
And that best move is hiring an assistant from another mid-major coaching staff that was let go for not succeeding enough? Wow.
The bar in Monty's tenure remains motionless on the floor.

I never know how to grade Montgomery, he has not elevated NIU basketball to where we all would hope, but I will admit he was partly right in that MSU article where he said he was fighting a bad culture. It also has made it harder for any NIU bball coach the past 15 to 20 years where the athletic dept and AD in no way support basketball, and in fact try to stay as far away from it as possible
