Has Fran received a technical yet this season

[ROCKY MOUNTAIN HAWK]

I’ll admit I’ve missed more Iowa games than I’ve watched this year, but the games I’ve seen I can’t remember any Fran T’s.

I’d be curious if anybody wants to do the research & post if he’s had one yet.

Also, I wonder what his season average for technicals is throughout his years at Iowa.

I actually tried finding the stats for this the other day and couldn’t find anything.

You have to give a shit to get T’d up

Just a rough guess..but interesting question.

 

[Mohawkeye]

He hasn’t. Even after that over-and-back BS call. Which is how we know that he no longer cares.

 

[Hendy hawk]

Why do you care. Nobody else does.

When he was getting technicals he was called out-of-control, hot headed, bad example for his players, etc,etc....

It is an interesting point, but total bullshit as an argument for or against his position as coach...

I was a long time b-ball official. The technical stats question on Fran is for a different reason.

But does being a long time official qualify one for posting a technical question?? 🤦🏽‍♂️

Its more a curiosity than anything. Sure testosterone decreases with age, but there appears to be a clear change of his in-game demeanor.

Behaviorally it is a marked change...and it is reasonable to speculate the cause as an Iowa fan.

Burn-out, meds, maturity?...who knows. Something is different...especially this year. Maybe he just knows the team is mediocre and isn't as invested as much at an emotional level.

He’s known it’s over since October & it’s obvious.

But that’s just what I heard. What do I know?

A coach that’s known for outbursts every year of his career doesn’t even get red faced anymore.

Barely stands up.

This no technicals thing in year 15 (or whatever) is exactly the norm of all hot headed coaches in year 15. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Just guessing, but I’m thinking the AD has him on a very short leash when it comes to sideline behavior.

So much that the B1G felt comfortable enough to put that “cheating MF’er” Steve McJunkins back out there to officiate.

Completely disagree. I always loved fireworks Fran. He was exactly what we needed after listless Licklieter. His lack of passion this season tells me everything I need to know. He’s done.

Beth and the Pres told him to tone it down

 

[shrinkhawk]

No doubt they did at some, or several, points along the way...but someone in power telling a person to simply 'calm down' if they have a sustained pattern of Fran-con level explosive anger outbursts at work...it is not a consistently effective intervention strategy. Other factors might also be contributing.
