Izzo just went nuts on his own player

[anon_i8nzeu2gbf0ba]

And so I thought it deserved its own thread. Sorry if anyone is offended.

What a great representative of MSU and college basketball. Izzo looked like he was ready to fight his own player. He got in his face, stuck his finger in the guy's chest, and had to be physically restrained by Winston and another player or two. And he still kept trying to go after the kid during the timeout.

IMHO, that was one of the worst exhibitions I've ever seen by a coach toward his own player. Will there be any repercussions? Seems like there should be. But maybe it's like being president: A winning coach can do whatever the hell he wants without being held accountable.

Hopefully it was McQuaid

OP is exaggerating a bit, it wasnt that bad.

 

[Nohawknamesleft]

I commented on this in the other thread. Now he seems to be going after Winston. One announcer wanted to talk about it but the other was just like hey that’s how he rolls.

 

[Nohawknamesleft]

He kept going after Henry in that huddle too.

That was just part of it, looked like he would have taken Henry off his chair if he wasn’t held back later on.

It wasn't that bad? Wow. I didn't know Mrs. Izzo posted on this board.

The only thing Izzo didn't do was punch the kid. If Fran had done the same thing, this board and college basketball would be goin' absolutely insane.

And now Izzo is out on the court going after the BIG player of the year, Winston. The guy is outta control even more than usual, and he goes from a look of a crazy man to one of a baby about to cry.

Wasn't that bad! BS. It was horrible. And they're showing it again right now. Izzo is a basket case. And those are the facts. Like it or don't.

 

[83Hawk]

If Fran did that, he would be roasted by the media and this board.

 

[tippet1]

And people think Fran has issues.

 

[HobbieHawk]

Maybe he'll want to transfer *cough*
Not us though, we have a coach that does that

Bobby Knight like!

 

[Hawk_4shur]

OP is right about how bad it is - also that it's ok if you're winning.

 

[mtdew_fever]

Is that kid on the transfer portal yet. Lol

Anyone provide more video clips for plebs that are stuck in their offfices?

 

[Crazy Hawk]

If Izzo was on fire I wouldn't waste my urine on him.

Look a few posts above yours.

 

[Walleye70]

Bradley should not have better players than Iowa- but they do. Several other no name schools seem to too

 

[Nohawknamesleft]

Interesting that they replayed the clip a couple of times too. Wonder if it’ll come up I. The press conference.

They played well, but let's not get carried away. If they were so talented, they would be ranked higher than #176.

 

[Clifford C. Clavin]

Hopefully it was McQuaid

Why? I would take McQuaid on my team any day of the week. Plays within himself offensively, gets the ball to the right place, and shoots a fantastic percentage from 3. And he is on the all-defensive team. Guy is a winner. Nothing not to like/respect.

 

[iahawks10]

You mean like ISU and Pitt? I’ve heard all year long about all of these other schools with more talent, but yet couldn’t beat Iowa. Seems strange to me I guess.

Reminds me of Fran yelling at Joe after Connor makes a mistake.....

Every team has that guy that opposing fan basea love to hate, he is that guy for me.

We probably have multiple (Bohannon, Garza, Baer).

 

[Ronman]

Izzo was sarcastic and disdainful in his postgame interview. He treated every question as an affront. The transformation is complete. He has become Bobby Knight.

Bradley is not a no name school. Sure they are not what they used to be and the MVC is not what it used to be, but LOL at someone who thinks there is no history there. Plus, on the other side of the equation, because they played one game close to another team does not mean they would do that all the time.

Really, I thought the opposite. I thought he's more Jeckle-Hyde like. I hate him during the game and he gave Bradley most of the credit for a tough game, never called out any of his players, maybe the committee for the Big X second round matchup, road game atmosphere...

The radio broadcast described "what an entertaining coach with all of that intensity." Fran would absolutely be roasted by the media .

It’s a major double-standard. Fran would be suspended for half of that but the broadcasters were busy lauding that ‘great intensity and coaching’. It was absolutely ridiculous by Izzo.

The thing is Izzo is a 5’7” wannabe tough guy that would get pounded by any of those players. He runs around like he’s Mr. MMA.

 

[Daisy Mae]

Izzo has been to the final four 7 times and half this board wants to object to his meanness. Snowflakes!

 

[iahawks10]

It’s more of the double standard than Izzo’s behavior. I don’t think too many of us really care if Izzo yells at a ref or a 22 year old.

 

[And1Hawk]

Just in from Greg Gumbel on the NCAA studio show on Izzo’s tirade; ‘that’s what you call coaching them up’. ‘Love that guy’.

Oh, so it is ok to act that way if you have been to multiple final fours.

 

[TheTruthTheWholeTruth]

This. Less successful coaches get roasted by the media and fans for showing the same “intensity.” Major double standard thst will never, ever, change.

I have heard more hate for Connor from other fanbases than any Iowa player in probably a decade. That’s anecdotal, obviously, but I think it will only get worse in the next couple years.

 

[And1Hawk]

If Fran does the same thing Izzo does tomorrow to a player Greg Gumbels comment will be ‘there was an ugly incident in the game between the Cincinnati Bearcats and the Iowa Iowa Hawkeyes. During a time out the head coach of the Hawkeyes Fran McCaffery went after a player and had to be physically restrained. Clark there’s no place in the game for this behavior.’

 

[owenhawk]

Yeah that’s why they had to struggle to get in to make the tournament and barely beat UNI. Seems legit.

You don’t get a lot of things do you?

 

[Tim Dodge Rules]

There is one small difference between Izzo and Fran. Hint: championships

Doesn’t make it right.

 

[Tim Dodge Rules]

Never said it did.
But it's obvious:
What is easier to accept - a spazzy coach who wins championships, has multiple final 4 appearances, etc., or a spazzy coach who hasn't even sniffed those?
