Anybody listening the JBo interview after the game? He defended Fran from the refs

[Mountain Man Hawk]

Thank you to any of you who are speaking up against Skydog's post and those who liked it. It is not funny and it fuels the unfair narrative about Iowa and Iowa Hawkeye fans.

Yeah, people complain about PC culture and cancel culture, etc and a lot of times I agree with them. But there has to be a line and straight making a disparaging comment about someone that you would never make about a white person has to be over the line.

I agree 100%.

 

[slipHawk]

Jbo’s podcast is pretty good that man can do more than shoot threes. He has a bright future.

 

[WadeWilson]

Watch Izzo yelling at the refs at least half of the game if not more. Fran rarely says anything to the refs so there is obviously a double standard and Howard not getting any kind of disciplinary action is incredible.

 

[MepoDawg#]

I think Fran does have a short leash with referees. That said, Fran went over the line with his Rant after the Ohio State loss when he got suspended.

Big difference in calling the refs cheating mother f’ers and telling the opposing coach you’re going to kill him as well as ready to throw down.

 

[slipHawk]

Of course not, in fact your tax dollars will be paying him reparations

Thread went ‘suddenly racist’. Jesus some people are so racist it’s like breathing.

At least this got exposed last summer and America realizes we have a way to go still.

And now, I will trigger your ass: BLM.

I 100% agree with your comments!

 

[LarryStation]

Wtf is wrong with you people?

It's pretty amazing how I can simultaneously be proud and disappointed to be from Iowa in the same day.

Thank you!

 

[BioHawk]

Just to be clear, it wasn't just Howard yesterday. The Maryland coach picked a fight with him. Howard was out of line, but so was the Maryland coach. However, neither one of them will have to pay an form of consequences for that. Fran probably would have to sit the rest of the tournament.

Holy cow people get over your self righteous indignation. Racist racist racist racist. Is it not true some want reparations for some Americans? Is it not true Howard could receive such reparations? How is it racist to state the truth in a comical way?
By stating it’s racist to do so puts you at the bottom of the morality pole!

 

[Mountain Man Hawk]

So what are you saying? Let me guess. He simply stated what you would like to happen. He’s offensive but you are not?😂😂😂😂😂

Did he make a disparaging comment that only applies to people with one color of skin?

 

[SVRHawkeye]

Speaking of reparations, on a freaking basketball board, come on buddy. But that said, half of the Iowa economy is other states’ tax dollars propping up already-rich white farmers because of idiot trade policy and lack of demand for their product.

But go ahead and troll that some non-white person got damages due to established and admitted racist lending policy that devastated generations of families of color. FFS

GO HAWKS!

It's not necessary. It does not help. It never needed to be said in this forum. No one came into this thread for a discussion on reparations or racism.

 

[WadeWilson]

Howard was on the other side of the half court line talking to Turgeon. Turgeon never stepped toward Howard but Howard threatened to kill him and repeatedly tried to get at Turgeon. He had to be restrained multiple times and it's considered ok because he got ejected. That's all he gets penalized and that's a joke. He claims he was defending himself. What a joke

 

[youflog1hawk]

This is going off the rails! For everyone on here that calls coach Howard a name or how he handled himself is a racist period.
See how that is done. Those of you who call people racist when you do not know them are what they call giving false witness toward your brother, but that’s just peachy fine.

I'm going to simply point out your ignorance on the farming industry. You are flat out stupid in your comments.

Carry on with your racism thread...

I have to remind myself that it is only a small group of people in every state. Unfortunately, the University of Iowa Athletic Department is already under the microscope for perceptions a racist culture exists.

 

[WadeWilson]

Howard is a giant bag of d!@%$. His lack of penalty for his ridiculously juvenile behavior and then lying and excusing his own behavior is worse than embarrassing. I'll take Fran any day of the week.

 

[retrodent]

Stupid comment.

. But funny

Typical of your ilk. You refuse to take any responsibility in the thread "going off the rails," and lack the capacity to see nuance in a complicated topic. Just to help you, that comment about reparations? That's clearly racism.

 

[hawkeyekid]

Good for Jordan. There is a double standard.

Izzo gets away with it almost every game. The refs bend over backwards to get him to calm down.

Howard goes after another coach. Then lies about what happened.

Hell, didn't a Rutgers player publicly say a ref was cheating or fixing games. Did anything happen with that guy?

 

[unoHawkeye]

Yeah woo go Hawks!

 

[BirdistheWord]

JBo new nickname = coconuts

Racist

Whatever you think of Juwan Howard, he doesn’t need reparations. Everything he’s gotten in life is stuff he’s worked for.

So why would you bring up him needing reparations. It has nothing to do with what he’s done or his character. So it must be superficial stuff...

That’s why people might think it’s racist dude.

 

[NorthDSMHawk]

Remember when you could read through a 2 page thread without 4+ dipshits giving their political hot takes in over 50% of the posts? That was awesome.

JBo is completely right here. Fran has been getting a raw deal for years now. Doesn’t look like it’s changing anytime soon with how recent coaches have faired.

 

[24 so far]

I usually just hear that person called racist/sexist/homophobic/intolerant/misogynistic/anyotherist.

Anyotherist? Thanks a-hole, now I have to pull out the Dictionary to see if I am one or if that's even a real word!

Oh really that’s what I said?
Next time you go to a comedy club and watch any entertainer, and for purposes here, let’s say an African American. When they start on about Koreans, Asians, women, crackers, etc and since your a righteous human, I bet your going to stand up in that club and call him a racist, then leave.
Oh no your not. First you, and no one here is righteous and second it’s a joke.
It’s so easy on social media to try and be a bully and claim how moral you are. This is the very reason it went off the rails. Please don’t forget to pump your chest out when typing.

JC, remember what I said about you and nuance?

 

[DewHawk]

Fran definitely IMO is called much tighter than other coaches in the BIG.

 

[CleteyColgate]

He mentioned how Fran gets a bad rap from the refs, that it is undeserved and it how Fran is perceived nationally as an out of control hothead. He made a mention of how other coaches in the league get away with a lot more, he mentioned Juwan Howard.

I'm sure the media will be all over this story. I'm sure if Turgeon said the same thing to Howard this story would be covered the same as it is now. I'm sure of these things.

John Cheney on line 3.

 

[CJBauer]

One was a private conversation in a hallway after the game overheard by a reporter...

The other was at half court during a nationally televised game...

I mean it was Calipari...who would miss him?

 

[hawkedoff]

That howard is coaching today speaks directly to the incompetence of Warren. Howard embarrassed the conference yesterday and the compounded it with his press conference in which he excused his reprehensible behavior and lied despite video evidence.

Michigan not sitting him on their own also speaks to their president and athletic director.

But.....he’s from Chicago so it’s all cool.

He’s 100% right! Howard and Izzo to start are complete whiny asses on the sidelines.

 

[Franisdaman]

He’s not wrong and I’m loving the not giving a f*** attitude on the way out the door.

But let’s not forget Fran has crossed the line a few times. But JBo’s right that others seem to get a pass from the media and the conference.

Howard should absolutely be suspended.

There are reports that Juwan Howard allegedly told Mark Turgeon "I'll *fill in the blank* kill you."

And then, of course, he had to be held back by literally everybody.

And he's coaching today.

In 2019, Fran McCaffery got suspended 2 games for screaming at an official out of the public's view.
