I don't understand why no one would just say that's what was happening.
Pretty embarrassing for Fran.
They knew exactly what happened but didn't want to bring it up. He freezes out any member of the media that brings up bad stuff. It's part of his problem connecting with fans and media. has been for years.
Dochterman and Liestekow have both said they have zero relationship with him.
She also had a nice little tantrum after the game where Payton was showered with post game praise by the media for the first triple double in program history and all butt hurt because it over shadowed pmac who got his 1000tn career point. She didn’t feel like he was “appreciated” enough.
I'm not saying this isn't true, but I have no way of knowing it ever happened since the Twitter post isn't available. Was it it ever available?
Word is she couldn’t stick around long most times.
Not
Not only sucks at refereeing but sucks at life.
Little Larry and Mark Fuhrman might make a balanced refereeing pair!
Supposedly when Fran was at Sienna, she was booted from a few rival schools gyms for "behavioral issues". Basically the full on red Ass that Fran used to show from time to time was mild compared to what ol Marge would get cranked up...
There was the famous post-game presser after they lost to Loyola in 2002. Fran basically told her to shut up.
Not gonna lie, a marg sounds pretty good on this lovely March day.
Have you Boyz no shame at all? Attacking the wife of a coach?
How is that even relative to anything except “dog pile on Fran”?
That is your vest shot? The coaches wife?
How many other coach’s wives behave like that? I bet it’s less than two. It’s not just Fran's things, her kids activities when they were growing up, too. Shes earned the criticism.
when your behavior is abhorrent you will get noticed. This is iowa, when you behave poorly at aau, hs, and college games you will rightfully get called out for it.
Who the F do you think you are to excuse it. Do you need it put in political terms for you ?
Probably a lot more than 2 you just never hear about the others. What kind of parent doesn't support and cheer their kids on? You want them to just sit on their hands during a game? And yelling at the refs when they make a bad call is pretty much a given in any sport.
Odd we never hear about any of the others, yet when the McCafferys came to town her reputation preceded her.
Cheering on your kids is one thing, acting like a complete jackass is another. You've obviously never been around them at sporting events, and if you have and still are defending her actions, you're part of the problem with youth sports and ref shortages.
Nice try tho.
correct you have every right to cheer on you team and kid, hell even boo the opposition.
You don't have any right to become the show. No one paid to see you. If your behavior becomes a scene, then you are the problem. If your behavior becomes of note to the people on the court, you have gone well past abnormal behavior and have successfully become a significant problem warranting a ban.
Who the **** do you think you are to condemn it?
The thing about being on the right side of cultural norms and behavioral norms means that's exactly what you get to do.
Please explain where in the ticket price, Marg is figured in? Or where in the ticket price you get to have the players and people on the court watch you?
Considering what he's married to, if the no boozin' thing is true then Ol' Doodle's respect factor for the guy just increased exponentially.
When my kids were playing high school sports, we had a couple of parents who behaved like Margaret does from time to time. I was always disgusted by those parents and embarrassed for those kids. I can't imagine those antics did wonders for the kids' mental health.
I guess the "Fire Fran" crowd is getting bored with hammering McCaffery for everything, so they now turn on his wife. Usually the family is exempt from this BS. Hey, no one has taken their daughter to task. She's probably an easy target.
“The right side of cultural norms”…???
If I were you bulldogs, I wouldn’t watch the games. But to come here and publicly criticize a coach’s wife over something you honestly don’t know what it who was being said? Your “Fran hate” or “Fran frustration” has overwhelmed your ability to reason. Jeeeebus…. Take a deep breath…all of you all.
I don't know about cultural norms, but it is funny. Imagine if Mary Ferentz came down to the sidelines and started talking to Kirk at a timeout. Or Jan's spouse. Or Brands' spouse, well, I'm not sure I'd want to see Tom's response. All equally subject to a similar reaction. I wasn't appalled by it, I thought it humorous, and could not let it go without comment. Heck, maybe it SHOULD happen more often. Liven things up. Spice up those otherwise banal sideline reports.
this deserves more acknowledgement
Tom is referring to the infamous ol'-water-bottle-filled-with-vodka-on-the-scorers-table trick that dolph pulled on FM some years ago
You're right, I've been tired of fran for years now. Annoyed by his pt and in game coaching since the outset.
But
That has nothing to do with the behavior of his wife. His wife made herself fair game for criticism when her behavior became "of note" by people on the court.
for you two to act like this is not worth criticism is pathetic idol worship worthy of a maga voter. Yep Joel, in this case that's you.
This isn't the first second or third time her behavior has been brought up. The fact that people on the court notice it, says it's time for her to be checked.
She's an attorney? That, I did not know. Nice!
Margaret McCaffery, JD
Ms. McCaffery and her husband Fran, University of Iowa’s head men’s basketball coach, have been actively involved with the American Cancer Society’s (ACS) Coaches vs. Cancer program since 2010 and have raised significant funds to support ACS efforts, including more than $2 million.

If you've reffed high school basketball in eastern Iowa for any amount of time, you've been yelled at by Margaret McCaffery. If you've been doing it as long as some of us have, you've also been yelled at by Tanya Alford (youth tournaments).
Oh stop. The woman has issues, and she displays it IN PUBLIC for everyone to see. That makes it fair game. A coaches wife getting kicked out of multiple college and high school gyms for that type of behavior is WAY over the line. Its like what happened to Mark Mangino while he was at Kansas. His son was the QB for Lawrence high school, and Mark got to walk the sidelines during games. Well one game he didn't like a call made against his kid and he charged the ref on the field and was ejected from ever attending another game at that school or even conference games. Just for the record the coach (and by extension his wife) are representing the University at any function their at. Not to mention he's paid a kings ransom to do that job. A little decorum from the coach AND his spouse, and his offspring is certainly not to much to expect...
