Was he hoping to get tossed?
This will look bizarre tonight on sportscenter.
Thank God we got the W.

I'm guessing any AD with a spine would have put a stop to antics like that a long time ago. We don't have one of those.
He will probably get a secret extension.
He did. And the antics slowed down. Sorry our team keeps outperforming your expectations.
I absolutely laughed my ass off at that. 😂 Say what you will, but Fran is an interesting fellow!
Congrats on that win, that was CRAZY.

What if I can want the Hawks to win AND have our coach not constantly act like a juvenile?
Exactly, the 2 are not mutually exclusive.
I love the stare down....just not enamored with bias in PT he's shown ===
Fran will be placed on double secret probation.
Where's this team at if they actually would have lost the games to Indiana and MSU? Honestly probably should have lost both games. Great to win games you shouldn't but not something you want to rely on. This is definitely a weird team to try and figure out. I can make a case this team gets hot in March but can also make a case they are going to be really bad in March.
You're correct. If we lost games we won, then our record would be different. Good analysis.
So I missed the thread talking about Izzos bad behavior all game
Hummell was cracking up also
And Hummel was talking about Iowa not getting to 20 wins this season. Still a chance.
This team goes as their 3pt shot goes. Its that simple.
They have no defense to rely on.
They've won the last two games at home while allowing the opponents to shoot close to %60.
Its not a good formula to win in the tournament but it also allows for the possibility of beating just about anyone.
Brilliant move by Fran. When you mix the Stare down move with the two coach's holding him back routine, these refs really believe he is psycho and are fearing for their lives Got a better whistle after that.
Can a ref call a technical for being stared at? I think it would be a stretch.

I really wonder if he got in Greens head. Calls seemed to go Iowa's way after that.
Just my opinion.
Just my opinion.
I mean.... It's better than tossing a chair like Knight or slapping a coach like Howard.
Izzo cries ALL GAME.
I just want better defense and rebounding.. then Fran can stare all he wants

What calls? There was the one play that it was debated whether he stepped out before being fouled. That didn't go Iowa's way. Iowa drew some fouls in OT but I don't think those were debatable and I don't think Iowa got away with a bunch of fouls in OT.
This in a damn nutshell. People actually coming on here and saying shit like if you can't defend the guy acting like an out of control lunatic, then your not a fan of "our team". Give me a break.....
At this point all we've proven is that if we play the NCAA tourney in Carver we might make the sweet 16. Otherwise most likely not.....
The outrage over something something so insignificant is hilarious. No one will give a shit once tomorrow's news hits. Fran is the best at outing nerds.
Fvck yah he did. Fran dont play with those guys. We will get calls these days.
I was laughing. I dont think it was necessarily poor sportsmanship. Pure entertainment more than anything.
Bobby said FR has fouled by three players on one shot and there was no call and the shot missed.
I bet that was the first thing the ref was asking after the game.
Both his boys hit very important 3’s at the end of regulation. Who should have been playing instead?
Wasn’t there a college basketball coach that did this stare a few years back and it lasted longer than Fran’s stare down .?
I want to say John Chaney of Temple.

A good stare is one of the most effective non-verbal forms of communication there is. Much more powerful than yelling.
