Fran and Lisa Have a Type

[GOHOX69]

The quintessential white athlete. Johnny and Jenny Wonderbread.

Works pretty well in women's basketball which has 0 parity nationwide but not so much in men's basketball, where 5 brothers from the field house, playing pick up basketball would wipe this team.

But then again, the State of Iowa, has a type which caters to its demographics.

You know and I know, if Caitlin Clark were black, the reception to her success within the State of Iowa would be tepid at best and some racial shit would be tossed by one of you.

JFC. Enough of the racist stuff.

 

[Bulldogs1974]

Fran yes. I can’t believe he’s went all these years and it’s never been questioned. Lisa. No.

 

[GOHOX69]

JFC. Enough of the racist stuff.

Is it really? The best year we had was with Raveling's players. Guess their race?

 

[GOHOX69]

Fran yes. I can’t believe he’s went all these years and it’s never been questioned. Lisa. No.

We will see next year as far as Lisa is concerned. The level of play in collegiate women's basketball is shit.

Some takes are best left unsaid.

Why? Everyone knows.

Good God - Another freakin’ Idiot.

Wisconsin? Purdue? Sometimes Michigan St?

Don’t get the point….🤷‍♂️

Maybe Raveling was a better coach? I think so

 

[GOHOX69]

He was also that but run out of the state for being black.

 

[WestIAHawk]

He was also that but run out of the state for being black.

Lol, ok.

 

[GOHOX69]

Lol, ok.

I'm glad you found that funny. Truth is sometimes like that. Look within yourself.

 

[WSC72]

He was also that but run out of the state for being black.

I thought it was his coaching attire

 

[Roncuba55]

Are you drunk?

 

[GOHOX69]

I thought it was his coaching attire

Maybe that too. Too urban? Maybe bib overalls next time.

So, mother f**ker, you’re calling all of us racists??

 

[GOHOX69]

Are you drunk?

No, I'm stone cold sober bub. I saw an extremely Caucasian team get it's clock cleaned by a 10 seed. Hilarious.

 

[WestCoastHawkI]

I'm a leftist from the west coast and this isn't racist it's the god damned truth.

It used to work in men's basketball until they changed the rules to accommodate the black athletic players. Palming, carrying, traveling and the paused dribble are all common place in today's game. Don't need the white ball handler anymore.

 

[GOHOX69]

So, mother f**ker, you’re calling all of us racists??

All? No. Many. Yes. Maybe overt, maybe subtle, maybe hell you don't notice.

Here’s a great story on Raveling:

Tone deaf comment. White players aren't athletic, but they are smart. Black players aren't smart, but they're athletic.

Keep spouting this nonsense. The truth is that Iowa doesn't play lockdown defense, they attempt too many threes. They lack a true go to guy, and lack intensity.

You think we have white ball handlers on this team? Who would that be?
It's not 1955.

 

[Roncuba55]

TIL: Tony, Desante and Ladji are Caucasian.

 

[Sett1997]

He was also that but run out of the state for being black.

Why did they hire him, pretty sure they knew he was black.
Race, race, race, racist , racist shit is getting old.

Maybe that has to do with the make up of the team no? Keep ignoring the problem and come up with implausible solutions.

You people like this, so who cares? I think it's pretty funny.

 

[GOHOX69]

3 whole players? Wow!

 

[Roncuba55]

Get to your safe space!

 

[coorsoriginal02]

Ok boss…

You’re right. You are better than a lot of us here because you, unlike us, aren’t racist.

Love it when people have a random thought and it simply becomes factual.

 

[GOHOX69]

Race, race, race, racist , racist shit is getting old.

Sure they did. Then they realized how bigoted shit got. Ultimately, Stringer left for the same reasons.

Raveling was a great recruiter

 

[hawkeye54545]

Lisa doesn't deserve her name mentioned in the same breath as Fran.

 

[GOHOX69]

Raveling was a great recruiter

Yes. Because he could connect with those players culturally. Can you see Fran recruiting in Flint?

 

[kceasthawk]

Really? I'd be fine with the 79-80 team, the 1970 Hawks, or the 54-55 Hawks

JFC.

Even someone who is 90 years old can’t possibly be this stupid.

 

[StanzByMe]

No, I'm stone cold sober bub. I saw an extremely Caucasian team get it's clock cleaned by a 10 seed. Hilarious.

That 10 seed has 2 top 10 recruiting classes in a row but were being led by a bad coach so they fired him and went 6-1 since then

 

[intrepodor]

Yes. Because he could connect with those players culturally. Can you see Fan recruiting in Flint?

Not exactly. He can barely connect in Des Moines

 

[GOHOX69]

Really? I'd be fine with the 79-80 team, the 1970 Hawks, or the 54-55 Hawks

Sure you would. In 54, it was segregated. In 1970, integration was just taking place and white players were overwhelmingly in the majority, in 1980, you had black players like Ronnie.

You've seen Purdue right? How about Wisconsin typically. It's not because of a type, it's due to the coaching, and style. But you keep up your narrative. Most Iowa fans accept what a Fran coached team will play like, and what their ceiling is.

Ohio State sucked for much of the year. They couldn't defend, rebound, or make more than one or two dump passes. But they fired their coach, started playing up to their talent level. There is such a thing as stagnation, when you have the same guy mold his team. But never willing to switch a style that may fit his team's ability.
