So sick of not being able to rebound and defend. Time to move on Fran, you're not a good coach
Body language is not good at all.They don’t even care. Body language in atrocious
Body language is not good at all.
Why is Iowa coming out playing like that?Body language is not good at all.
Beth and the Athletic dept. Staff have some work to do. Currently after the fall sports tally Iowa Athletics sit at 16th out of 18 B1G schools in the director cup standings.Hey beth, time to put your manager hat on and this nonsense.
I think the majority of players are quite frustrated with McCaffery and his decisions and I agree body language reflects those feelings.Body language is not good at all.
Who knows? Maybe Beth has talked to Fran already and impressed upon him that a change is coming. We don't know what is going on behind closed doors.Hey beth, time to put your manager hat on and this nonsense.
We can only hope this is true and we will not have to see another year of McCaffery throw it up and hope BBall.Who knows? Maybe Beth has talked to Fran already and impressed upon him that a change is coming. We don't know what is going on behind closed doors.
I missed the game, but it sounds like shades of Saucy T (or P?) in the NIT game?They don’t even care. Body language in atrocious
I've noticed Gatens seems more engaged than Fran.I always wondered if Fran would allow his assistant coaches to get on guys that have severely underperformed or if they felt like they couldn’t do that for obvious reasons. Like take last year. I bet multiple assistant coaches were like, “Maybe we should tell a certain player to stop throwing up off balance running one legged runners that never go in.”
You may be right and I may be wrong, but I just don’t see it. I think the recruiting class has bought Fran at least another year.Fran will gone. No ifs, ands , or buts … Three more wins maybe. Even one of the beat reporters finally said it’s time to move on from Fran.
.510 conference record. Zero Sweet 16s … way too many blowout losses. An empty Carver and fan apathy that continues to grow … Yeah - he’s gone. No way you bring this average coach back for another season. No way. No how. Adios Fran ….
I have always felt like he babied his players (except when he used to melt down) and thus they play soft. His assistant coaches do not even look involved during the games. They just sit there with a blank look on their faces most of the time.I always wondered if Fran would allow his assistant coaches to get on guys that have severely underperformed or if they felt like they couldn’t do that for obvious reasons.

I hear ya … but fan apathy continues to grow. Fran simply hasn’t shown he can coach defense … Even when we had POY in Garza … and the Murray twins … and Weezy … he still couldn’t get to the Sweet 16… His time has come. There is no magic bullet that will fix Iowa basketball under this staff ….You may be right and I may be wrong, but I just don’t see it.

He prioritized playing his kids over winning basketball games. Same as Kirk and Brian. It’s pretty sad.I hear ya … but fan apathy continues to grow.

Actually the oppositewho's in the recruiting class? more skinny, slow footed white kids who are shooters who cant jump or play D?
What I don't get is why not try something different? Look at some stats, which are readily available. Defense and rebounding are the big problem and Sandfort apparently allowed to shoot as much as possible.The lack of coaching is astounding which leads me to believe that this is it for Fran. You don't "allow" a lot of things I have seen this year without blowing your top or making changes.
