Hastings is doing the same thing with Wisconsin that

he did at Minnesota State.

MSU was coming off 4 straight losing seasons and he guided them to a 24-14-3 record and only their second NCAA tournament bid in his first season there. They were still in the "real" WCHA then too. Afterwards he dominated the nWCHA (and the nCCHA when the WCHA folded its tent) for the next decade. He didn't just dominate a weak conference either. It took him a while to figure out what to do in the NCAAs but when he did, he guided the Mavericks to back-to-back FFs.

The guy can coach.
