Fran's Ejections

An Iowa State avatar?? Well, gee, that tells it all, doesn't it?
That just explains your anti-iowa posts. I haven't seen you post one positive thing about Iowa. Pretending to be an Iowa fan while degrading the team and coaches gets old.
 
She was "escorted" from the stands for her behavior and then had to be pulled away from the press by Fran as he knew she lacks self control in those situations. Harkens back to his Siena days when she was also kicked out of a game and then barged into the press conference and offered up her unsolicited opinion.
Total fabrication. Worry more about isu's nose dive than trolling Iowa.
 
McCaffery family had a night at NU:
3 Technicals
2 Ejections
Not one news story to back up your assertion which you made during the game the other night. I'd ask for a link but already looked. You just flat out lied to make Iowa sound bad. You are a troll and no Iowa fan. Iowa's fans dont make up lies to make the team look worse.

It has been brought up on this board prior to my mentioning it.

And I wasn't posting during the game...so feel free to make up so more nonsense to make yourself feel better.
 
You did and I'm no longer wasting time on you as you are a troll. I asked a couple months ago if u were an isu fan and now i know. I'm just putting you on my ignore list. If you are going to lie about iowa I'm done bothering with your asinine posts.

Maybe take the time off to figure out how to use the quote function...it really isn't that hard.
 
I've been a UNI and Iowa fan for a very long time. I don't really remember complaining about any specific officials at UNI games since I was a student in the late 90's. I would have liked to see a couple of fouls called at the end of the UNI/Texas A&M tournament game several years back -- but that's the last time I remember being really upset about the officiating in a UNI game. Jake rarely goes off on officials. Like almost never. If he's out of the box, it's usually very conversational.
I gave you a like for this one. Refs swallowed the whistles for A&M at the end, but if UNI players looked at an Aggie funny, they got called for a foul. Not a big fan of UNI, but felt they got screwed that day.
 
Could someone tell me how many times in his 13 year tenure has Fran been ejected from a game. Asking for an obsessed Iowa State friend that swears he gets ejected 2-3 times each year. I looked for info, but couldn't find.
I don't think he gets EJECTED that often. He probably gets T'd about once every 5 games or so in BIG10 play. I can only remember him getting tossed like 4 or 5 times.
I went back and searched for a total number of techs over his tenure. I found a Mike Hlas article from 2011. After the 28th game of that season Fran had been T'd 7 times. At that time the entire league had 6.

That's 1 in 4. I highly doubt he's had more than 7 in a single season since. I would love to see a season breakdown though.

Can't find any news story on the Mrs being ejected, although she has been ejected twice before in games where Fran was booted. Once at Sienna and once at Hofstra. At Sienna she interrupted Frans press conference to give the media her profanity laced thoughts on the horrible officiating. Fran had to shush her, and evidently the AD had to make a public statement that it would never happen again.

Here Hlas talks about her trying to talk to the media after the game.

So she didn’t get ejected is what you’re saying?

I had a friend at the game who saw her get asked to leave then get escorted out. Several others have said the same thing. I'm not sure why you think there would a news story on that and I don't care if you believe it happened or not. Your fragility about Iowa sports is mind blowing. Suck it up, buttercup.
 
It's embarrassing - most other coaches and especially players do not act this way. Anyone defending it is part of the problem.
Not sure we on message boards are the enablers here but whatever lol.

Yes he does take it too far sometimes. I get some of it, looks good to players to see they have his back. But he sometimes gets too carried away with it that he can hardly be in the mind to coach a game anymore.

Iowa seems to get decent calls by refs at home, so his reactions seem to make a difference.

State fans coming to iowa forums with tribal troll intent is so sad cringe. Like brah it’s just a game, you really want to waste your life trying to one up your rival on here lol.
 
That some feel this way, or would openly joke about such a thing should be embarrassing to the entire fan base.

Hawks need to figure out why they can't shoot on the road. Shots were there, but they just were not making them.

They were open looks at NW, but they were rushed. Iowa wasn’t comfortable at all on the offensive end and that’s a credit to NW. Road games are hard.
 
I find there to be just a hint of irony that so many find it embarrassing that a coach can lose his sh#t from time to time but consistently come to this Board and lose their sh#t after every loss.

Just the pay level should indicate higher standards of conducting one's self. Some posters struggle pumping gas.

I think y'all should be even more embarrassed by all of the "fans" who come out of the woodwork to complain about Fran's behavior after a technical, when he runs one of the cleanest programs in the country.
 
If you are being paid a ton of money as a representative of the school, conduct IS IMPORTANT. He is not the janitor.
Should Fran just sit there when he sees particular officials making lousy calls, or maybe say 'thank you sir, may I have another...'? Officials should also be held accountable, but it seems like the same bad officials get renewed year after year. It shouldn't be hard to put an evaluation system in place for officials, and those receiving low ratings should go away.
