Connor needs to keep his left middle finger at bay.
- Thread starter BrewHawk
- Start date
I saw that and wondered who the hell he was jabbing with. I guess that's better than constantly bitching at the refs over his blatant fouls but still totally unacceptable. Of course Fran won't do a thing about it but if he flipped off a fan he needs to sit some games, they are both embarrassing hot heads
He has the greatest free throw motion. Guys jump nearly everytime. He got robbed today.
The crazy thing about that was EVERY player on the court stopped expecting the whistle, because they all knew that Pickens ( I think it was) pushed Perkins into the lane and created the lane violation. Should have been a call or a foul or something, then nothing.

I think you are wrong. Connor has never fouled anyone, just ask him.
To play devils advocate a little… I don’t think Connor is always arguing that he didn’t commit the foul. Often I think he’s arguing that the same contact is happening at the other end.
Half of Connor’s fouls I find myself wondering if they’d be fouls if it was super hustle icon Brad Davison or that dude who played at tOSU for twenty some odd years.
Maybe so. At least he’s consistently arguing / whining about something
How do you know Fran won't do anything about it? Are you behind closed doors and/or in team meetings?
Well, this is his sixth year in the program and his behavior hasn't changed at this point.
Gawwwwd you’re a dick in this thread. For fück sakes, rifler, I had done soooo much work to forget his name.
I hate you.
"Whaa-whaa the players whine too much. They need to be robots that never show emotion. Act like you've been there before! Sportsmanship, gentlemen, class, blah blah blah!"
The time at OSU where CMAC took a foul to head and ref's called foul on CMAC instead, and then CMAC got a technical for complaining, and then Fran got a double technical because his kid got hit on the head and then Fran told the Refs that they were m'effers and stole the game (ignoring the fact Iowa didn't play defense and let a no-name go off for career high scoring game).....or the Fact that CMAC started over Keegan for an entire year, or that PMAC was ahead of Kris murray the last 2 years even though PMAC doesn't play defense or rebound.......all those indicate to me that maybe, maybe.....fran has a little bias towards his own DNA and doesn't treat them the same as say JoeT who had a short leash.
Cmac starting over Keegan Murray during the end of 2021 is still mind boggling to me. But he’s one of our best players this year.

CMAC often pushes the limits with officials, but I think he gets away with quite a bit, because he argues his case more like a coach than a typical player. He seems to have an ongoing conversation with some officials. I think Connor could become a pretty good coach, if that is the direction he chooses to go after playing.
Connor started because of what he did to get the ball to Luka and the fact he didn’t turn the ball over. They had different roles. Kris Murray two years ago was not the same player he is today, he just wasn’t that good. He worked and got better. Joe T was a turnover machine. It’s always amazing how people want to think because a player is good as a junior or senior he must have gotten screwed earlier.
Luka's worst stats were when Conner was in the game with him due to being double teamed beause Cmac couldn't shoot. So please quit trying to make excuses for Fran playing a subpar player over Keegan.
I guess you're right, he will get more playing time probably. Otherwise this is a laughable post considering the past 6 seasons. Saying something isn't doing something
Connor being focused on fans in a game we battled back to make close is this shit team in a nutshell
Pat started and played more than Kris last when Kris would have been drafted. Patrick will never sniff the league. If you wanna shove your head up your ass and ignore Fran's blatant favoritism towards his sons go for it I guess
Can't argue he's one of the better players on this team. It's also a great example of why this team sucks ass. Just a shit roster outside of Kris and Fil
You're too funny - you think a coach making several million dollars a year is going to do anything that's not in his best interest to win a game? Kris would have been drafted if he would have been given a grade after his workouts with the NBA that stated he would have gone high enough. He obviously didn't. Connor interacting with the fans was and is wrong. Just don't be ignorant enough to think Fran doesn't say and do anything. I've seen Fran jump down Patrick's throat during a game but do posters like you ever mention that - no. I'm sure you think Kris should have started as a freshman because just look at how good he is now? He must have been that good then and the only reason had to be Fran was favoring his son there too.
Posters like you make Iowa fans look stupid.
Not sure if you're serious with this shit but we are talking about a coach who has never been to the second weekend of ncaa tournament or sniffed a real bten title so yes... He does this all the time. He doesn't think defense is critical so let's not act like personnel blunders, especially involving his precious sons would be out of the question.
You don't seem to be able to read.... I never said anything about Kris as a freshman. If you can't acknowledge Keegan was a much better player than Connor in 21 and Kris much better in 22 just find a new sport, Jesus. And don't give me this post feed bullshit which any decently coached player should be able to do. What a dumb f'n post but from someone who chooses ChiPack which should be an oxymoron its not surprising. Holy shit that was a lot of stupid
