Remember, there are many parents of those players who visit this board.
It's not a good look. At all.

Can we not attack current & future Iowa players?
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
Nah, they deserve it. That was shit basketball and the players/coaches should be publicly embarrassed.
Im fine if peeps want to critique effort... its another thing to attack who that kid is... ie “Player B is trash. “
Pointing out areas of weakness is not an attack although I admit the line gets crossed often. Is stating my opinion that connor shouldn't be starting at point guard in the bten an attack? These guys have to accept the criticism and scrutiny right along with the glory and praise. Thats the price of fame
There is a big difference between: Player X needs to find the open guy when double teamed vs. Player X is a worthless black hole that should never play again.
That being said, I have no problem with harsher phrasing targeted towards the coaching.

If you don't like the way the Hawks played, focus your anger on the coaches and their preparation. Don't target a specific player; instead, say something like "Fran should have had Player X more at PG."
I hope people did not not tweet the players last night; unfortunately, I am sure it happened.
It was an ugly performance; it does not mean that we all have to turn into ugly fans.

Good kids, try very hard, skilled perhaps, just not that athletic compared to the kids they are plYing against. Not their fault they accepted a scholarship.
i agree. It's Fran's recruiting. It's Fran's team. It's Fran's coaching. It's Fran's preparation.
Don't like what you see? Focus on Fran and what HIS team in year 10 is lacking.
Recently we had Kenyon Murray starting a thread, defending his kids. This is when I knew the line had been crossed.
So it doesn't matter until the kids parent is someone we watched play?
I don't know what the "attacks" are...too afraid to read half these threads!
But unless they are really "low blows" then you'd better be ready for people to criticize you when you agree to play college bball/fball.
That's Kenyon Murray's prerogative.
I wish him and his sons well. And the truth is no one has any idea how any recruit will pan out, so every opinion should be taken with a grain of salt, good, bad, or neutral.
With all of that said, it's an anonymous message board. Fans are fans. Some more pathetic than others. It's with every fan base.
In terms of McCaffery's recruiting, after ten years, the criticism is warranted. If fans go over the line, then it's the mods responsibility to delete and censor accordingly.
