IOWA CITY - - The media frenzy has quieted since the University of Iowa named Todd Lickliter head men's basketball coach, yet nothing has been calm for Lickliter, who has played catch-up since arriving in Iowa City on April 2.
"It's been hectic because we have a lot of catching up to do," Lickliter said. "I think the support here has been unparalleled. I can't imagine this being a better place from all that Iowa City has to offer -- to the support within the athletic department, throughout the university and community -- I couldn't be more pleased."
Lickliter has been busy buying a house, getting acquainted with the team and seeing all that Iowa City has to offer. His family has been in town a limited time but they have enjoyed the different festivities in the area.
"We've taken in a lot of the restaurants and they are excellent," said Lickliter, the former head coach at Butler University. "We're trying to get acclimated to being able to navigate and get to other places. It's been fun."
