Connor is #1 in the Nation

Beat on backdoor cuts is so repetitive with this team. Why does this keep happening and why don't they make adjustments?
Connor is going to be a great coach some day.
Connor up to #18 in the Big 10 in Bart Torvik's player efficiency metric. This year he's a good player and has a serious case to be on one of the All Conference teams.

Thanks for sharing
To put that in perspective, the two best assist guys in NBA history (John Stockton and Jason Kidd) had assist to turnover ratios of 3.72 and 3.02. Not saying Connor is on their level at an NBA perspective but those are some lofty numbers he is putting up.
Are you the same Bryce bashing Connor on cryclown fanatic saying he shouldn’t have played until this year?Connor up to #18 in the Big 10 in Bart Torvik's player efficiency metric. This year he's a good player and has a serious case to be on one of the All Conference teams.

Weird how obsessed clown fans are with bashing the McCaffery kids.
It's a good A/TO ratio but his usage rate is very low and he's not the primary ballhandler. It's a little different scenario with him.
He's feeding the players so well, too, where they are able to get a good shot off.
Some of those passes last night were incredible; you'd think maybe one or 2 might lead to a turnover. Nope.
True, but he is not playing with Karl Malone either.
but he sure does deliver
Not really with how the Iowa Motion Offense flows. While there is a PG position that doesn’t mean the offense flows from them. When Connor has been on the floor he has been more directly involved distributing the ball and passing than any of the PG’s on the floor at the same time.
13 assists to 0 turnovers is a good thing, right?....
Obvious troll is obvious, but in all seriousness, I could see Connor being a fantastic coach down the road. Outside of maybe a GA year at Iowa or something, he’d be best served by going out and forging his own path, though.While we are on the topic of my son, I am thinking of adding him to the staff next season at $500,000 a year.
Thoughts?
If I'm the AD at UNI or Drake I'm offering him an assistant position as we speak and see where he goes from there.
yeah, it will be interesting to see where Connor lands
hate to say it, but I bet he's an Iowa grad assistant
I would feel much more confident with Connor eventually taking over the basketball program as HC than Brian doing the same for football.
Regarding Conner becoming a coach: I think he is extremely defensive minded. Hard nosed, smart, high energy, active, and anticipates. If he’s late or gets beat, it’s because of physical limitations (or he’s typically asked to guard any of the 5 positions too which is a TOUGH draw), not because of effort or defensiveness focus and awareness. I am in the camp that he’s a good (not great) defender/ player. But as a coach, he may be a great defensive coach.
I’m a big fan overall, btw. Especially now that he has improved his 3 pt shooting so much. Hard work and healthy. If I had one thing I wish he did differently would be keeping composure and not complaining as much - but easy for me to say from my couch.

He seems to be seriously interested in that aspect of the game as well,... With time and experience, I think he could pull it off..
I don’t mind him starting at Iowa as a GA, but if he’s really going to become successful, he’ll need to forge out on his own after that. He has a whole life of his dad’s philosophies - go out and learn from some different voices.
Very savvy on defense but gets beat based on athleticism
That’s strong. People giving Connor credit on D are not saying he could go 1-1 and shut down high end players. What they’re saying is that he’ll hustle, he’ll anticipate, he won’t be afraid of contact and he’ll give effort. Sure, he has his short-comings athletically, whether that’s against quality bigs or smaller/quicker players, but he is fundamentally sound.
The aboutface hawk fans have made regarding CMac is possibly encouraging. If you produce...iowa fans are fair and bury the hatchet in short order.
Maybe there is hope for a comeback for BF?
If they produce?
Rutgers, Maryland, Illinois and Indiana for sure.
This is what he did/does for Sandford and Perkins. He's incredible. 6:26
Now occupying 3rd place in the Big Ten, what is Iowa basketball's current outlook with 5 games left?
After dismantling Ohio State Thursday night for their seventh straight home win, the Hawkeyes enter the regular season's final stretch in third place with a ...

There will be a segment who don’t come back for CMac or BF no matter what, but I think most fans see things for what they are. Connor’s career arc is actually pretty fascinating.
