Why didn't fran go two for one with under a minute to go?

[soybean]

Why didn't we attempt a shot instead of just dribbling it out? I'm stumped by Fran.

I was screaming at the tv during that possession. Run your effin offense!!!! Why dribble down to a few seconds and launch a prayer? You needed a score there more than to run clock off only up by one. I knew at that point they were going to piss this one away. Again.

He makes me scratch my head at times.

Why not isolate Uthoff in the second half? He was unsolvable in the first half.

A lot of questions, but give them credit for having a good team that kept coming and a home crowd that really makes a difference. If there's one thing I'm jealous of, it's their home court advantage.

 

[Err.]

Why does he let Mike Gesell play at all, let alone in the last minute when he chokes 100% of the time?

Yeah, that was not a big time coaching move,

 

[hawksense]

i did think that Christian Williams should be given a shot. That's horrible to wish on the young man.

Fran makes poor in game decisions

 

[ShawneeHawk 1]

It doesn't seem like Fran ever goes for the two for one.

 

[skydog0784]

Fran does many things right but he just doesn't understand how to manage the last few minutes of a close game.

 

[HoustonREDHawk]

Not Fran's best game.

 

[pocha444444]

Because he's a college coach

 

[yerpHAWK]

the last shot wasn't that bad, better than mccabe taking it.

Couldn't get the ball inbounds to TRY a two for one!

Yes we had it with 45+ seconds to go and just dribbled it out for a frantic fling.

No doubt.
I was kind of surprised when ISU called off the press right at the end. Hawks were absolutely lost going against that pressure.

I am not the smartest basketball person, but something just isn't there. No way Iowa should lose that game after that first half.....

 

[AcctingHawk]

Because Fran doesn't know how to win close games!

Wow, I had almost forgotten about that. I never would have guessed Gessel would be even more lost than Zack McCabe at the end of a game....
