Especially one one of those isn't shooting outside the paint. But she's also a junior
For everyone that rails on the football team for not getting enough players in the portal, the WBB team says hi. You have Addie Deal coming in next year and Guyton will be good, also, but this team does need a couple portal additions.
IMO the centers to play should be AH and try the one on the bench that never plays then AOG. AOG may score a few points, but she struggles with all other aspects of the game.
What does this mean?
Olsen, McCabe,Heiden and then two who show they have a clue that day, that’s my lineup
I definitely think Baranczyk could understand the culture Bluder built for obvious reasons.
Lisa and her staff had a winning culture. Promoting someone from her staff theoretically gives continuity to that.
Iowa starters 28 pts, 11 rebound, 11 To’s, 1 Stl.
Iowa reserves 39 pts, 20 rebounds, 3 To’s, 7 stl.

Scratch Stuelke and insert McCabe.
Had Iowa had a true coaching process & search I may agree. To not even speak with Baranczyk and whomever else may be interested. I'll just say I was not a fan of the process.
Replace heiden with O'Grady but heiden should be playing a lot
On second thought.
Guyton
Olsen
McCabe
Stuelke
Ogrady
Stuelke looks lost but her athleticsm and experience should help I'm hoping.
Why not McCabe who is your only real three point threat and who is shooting it at 45%.
20 years within the program, assistant coach at back to back finals teams, coached up some solid posts. Only thing that was lacking was HC experience, but plenty of assistant coaches promote into HC positions and do well.
The talent is clearly there. This could be a sweet 16 team, but Jan's rotations are f*cking horrible.
Please move Hannah back to the 5 and keep her there.

The thing that is perplexing with Hannah is how she has lost the ability to convert underneath, It’s easy to say Caitlin is gone but Hannah had the ability to finish in traffic last year, This year she can’t finish and is getting shots blocked by equal size or smaller players.
HS and AOG should not be on the floor together. Play 1 post. HS isn’t a 4 regardless of how much Jan thinks so.
It's evident that Jan doesn't know how to make the decisions that result in winning basketball. She seems like a good friend-type coach but not an actual coach coach.
They tried internal promotion thing but it backfired. Oh well. Start looking for a replacement come March/April.
Hannah biggest challenge is between her ears IMO. She doubts herself, does not appear to learn from her mistakes, and lacks intensity. I really do not think she will ever be any different.
*Trying to find the wins on the schedule. Looks pretty grim. Maybe NW, Wisconsin, and Rutgers? Will be pleasantly surprised if they find more than that. Look forward to the next time Iowa can make it back to the top 25. Hopefully next season.
*Stuelke has another year to play. Not sure how to feel about that. Iowa should try to bring in a better player at that position if they want to keep any momentum left from the two Final 4s. Not sure that will happen.
*Substitutions and length of the bench continues to be a Jensen problem. Way too hard to find a groove when you, and everyone else around you, can't get in a flow.
*Constant lapses on defense, and once again allowed a single player to go off.
*Probably too much to fix, but I think a lot of it reflects on the coaches' inability to identify 5 players to play together.

If current trend/play/coaching continues the rest of the season I agree. But, termination at end of the year will never happen at Iowa.
Uh no. She deserves way more than one year. This isn't the NFL. With the freshman and the class coming in next year the future is bright. I hope.
We’ve been playing 10 players. It’s time to move Syd, Addie, and Kylie to the bottom of that rotation.
I know I know. Jan will for sure get year 2 but is likely to be on a quiet hot seat by this time next year.
Some people can never make a decision based on facts in front of them because they cannot get beyond their emotions. Jensen may be one of those folks.
Totally agree. This experiment has not worked. She cannot use her athleticism when the lane is clogged up and she can't shoot well enough from the outside to play the 4. How about playing up tempo for a stretch.
Agree about Kylie and Addy, but not Syd.
She's lock down on D, can hit the 3, but her biggest skill is she's a slasher. But she can't slash with 2 posts and their defenders filling up the lane.
The same problem is hindering Lucy as well.
I'm all for Syd coming off the bench as a sparkplug, at least until she finds her shot again.
She is so much more athletic then AOG. And she'll be the best defensive post we've had probably ever unless Layla Hays takes that crown.
