CANCEL THE PLANE RIDE HOME

[andoboy]

I remember reading about something that Bob Knight did once after a lackluster performance/ effort .
He basically cancelled the plane ride home put his players on a bus and when they arrived some 5 hours later they practiced for an intense 3 hours .

Apparently after this they never had an effort problem again.

FRAN NEEDS TO DO THE SAME THING... THIS GROUP AND COACHING STAFF NEEDS TO KNOW THAT YOU CANNOT SIMPLY SHOW UP IN THE BIG TEN AND EXPECT TO BE COMPETITIVE.
I AM NOT ONLY BLAMING THE PLAYERS BUT THE COACHING STAFF AS WELL..

Let all of them enjoy the all night bus ride home and then get their asses of the bus and drill for hours.

1) This team was ill prepared tonight with no answers to anything they looked list and didn't have a clue how to defend or score and that lies directly with the coaching staff.

2) The effort was not anywhere near what it needs to be to compete in the Big Ten and that lies in the players.


ENJOY THE BUS RIDE HOME BOYS...

 

[StormHawk42]

Why the CAPS? They can't hear you.

 

[TheRealHerky]

Blah blah blah. Sometimes you just get beat. Credit Purdue and accept this Iowa team is very young with no real PG or Center.

 

[RocknRollface]

Its a rebuilding year.

Its the first big ten game for allot of these guys on the road against the team that will probably win the league.

 

[markfromj]

Pleased with our effort tonight.

 

[andoboy]

You guys are a bunch of apologist...

Stop with the rebuilding excuse That story has past... Every team is going to get better and you better keep up..if your not competing now you will not be next year ... Or the year after that

Yes Purdue is a good team ... Yes they might win the Big Ten but there is no excuse for allowing wide open 3's, lay ups under the basket and getting outbeat to every loose ball

THERE WAS NO GAME PLAN AND NO EFFORT..

If you want to keep apologizing for being young, playing on the road or playing against a good team than you will get your a.... beat every time..

SOMEONE CALL THE BUS DRIVER AND TAKE THIS TEAM HOME. NOTHING LIKE A LONG BUS RIDE HOME TO GET YOUR HEAD RIGHT

A bus? You think they deserve that? I say make em WALK back!!

 

[33hawkfan]

How does this even work logistically? Where can you rent a bus from for immediate use at 10 at night? Is it just a matter of hijacking the bus taking you to the airport and telling the driver he's in for a hell of a lot longer drive than he expected?

 

[And1Hawk]

The OP is a total joke. Take some Ritalin.

It happened and I do not think this was an isolated incident... When you have a 60 million dollar business you can basically do what you want and getting a bus would not be an issue...

Tried researching the Bob Knight bus trip and nothing was ever mentioned of it in any of his books.

That's what the University of Iowa Athletic department brought on last year

Obviously we are not going to agree so I will refrain from anymore personal attacks... But the point is made when you don't give an effort than you deserve to be bussed home

Fran has it written into his contract.

5k for one time impromptu bus rental for purposes of punishment.

I dont know if tonight was the right moment though.

Seems like I remember a team in the Big Ten who just had a few rebuilding years and is now near the top of the league. Who was it again? Purdue? Get a clue.

 

[iabcuda]

I didn't see a lack of effort. I saw a team somewhat overwhelmed by the big stage, made some poor decisions, lost all their confidence and struggled for an identity while their star was being mugged. Let them fly home but make them watch film the whole way.

Well the timing for this game was perfect for that, but what if they had lost on a school night? Would a West Lafayette elementary school have to have a late start tomorrow to allow one bus to run two routes since a college basketball team commandeered one of their buses? And who is driving it back? Sherman Dillard? Oglesby?

 

[Gridiron24]

Wasn't a lack of effort. Our guys weren't ready for this level of competition. The coaches can only do so much. Our coaches have been there before... NCAA's, Big B1G games, have won tough road games (UNC, MSU, Purdue, Wisconsin, Indiana to name a few in just the past few years), etc.

It's down to this team being young and inexperienced. Some of that could be preparation and, yes, effort. But, it's not time to tar and feather them just yet.

 

[FairfIowafan1984]

Andoboy shut up! This team will be good in the future, everyone with half a brain knew there would be games like this.

Also we played maybe the best team on the road I kinda expected this and their will be a few more games like this!

Go hawks and don't listen to idiots like him!

 

[FairfIowafan1984]

Plus the Hawks are the youngest team in the big10 we are not Kentucky who can win every damn game being young.

I'm just going to enjoy the season you can bitch and complain all you want i bet your wife loves hearing you complain about the team, talk to her!

 

[terrehawk]

Somebody is off their meds.

Not much any team can do when the opponent hits 10 3 pointers in first half and is hitting everything else.

Sometimes it just isn't your night.

Anyone with a brain knows this team is going to have some bad games bit will also be capable of winning on any given night.

Take your meds, stop starting numerous threads ripping on the team and just enjoy these guys because they're going to be good in a year or two but they're just really young.

Wait, if you agreed you would keep attacking?

 

[bagdropper]

Some day, all Iowa sports will be as perfect as andoboy, or worthywish, or whatever newly temporary until banned name he's posting as recently, demands.

It can never be that the other team is, you know...better than Iowa.

Young Hawkeyes welcome to B1G hoops!. I knew there would be games like this. Young squad , on the road against a talented team.

 

[Suterman]

Okay so I guess we are terrible today, when we beat Michigan, we are great again. Then we are terrible after the next loss ad nauseum. Purdue came out red hot and we were not up to the task. Turn the page and get ready for Michigan. Anybody thinking we were gonna stroll into Purdue and win this year hasn't been watching this team. We were 14.5 point underdogs to a great team on the road in the B1G. You are generally going to lose those types of games. If we beat Michigan, we are back where we should be in the B1G.

 

[OutbackBowl2017]

I'm sure Purdue was amped up after losing both games last year to Iowa so the beat down was on their mind big time. They knew there would be blood in the water and they attacked. 10 three's in the first half? Are you kidding me?

Also, not blaming the refs but two different sets of calls on Iowa and Purdue. Swanigan could do whatever he wanted on both ends while Pemsyl was called for ticky tack fouls. The one ref - balding and heavy set was just turrible.
