It was obvious Keegan was the best nba prospect on the team after his first month.
Like what? You think YOU'D be missed? Lolololo.......
I agree that Keegan should have started all of the 2nd half of his freshman season, but I will state that Kris coming off the bench in '22 was an unfortunate necessity due to having 0 front court depth. Keegan, Rebracca and Kris basically were a 3 man rotation at the 4/5. Now I think you could blame Fran on not filling that final scholarship with another portal big man, but the rotations made sense once you realize that Ogundele and Mulvey were unplayable.
Ya - I try to let the professionals who spend their entire lives/careers at something make the decisions. And since you brought it up, to me it was irrelevant who played ahead of Kris. But I guess you were at all of the practices and workouts so you should have been consulted. Typical.
Yep - I feel the same way about you and others who don't have a clue what it's like to see a big picture. You might know a little bit about basketball, but being an administrator of something that has to make big picture decisions - not so much. It's so easy to say something should have been done when unless I'm completely wrong, you weren't there. You weren't at the practices. I'm sure in your eyes Michael Jordan should have started varsity when he was in 8th grade. I mean, he is the best of all time so of course he should have been a starter then too. Fire away - being an opinionated wanna be is really your calling.
And again, I don't care who he played. You have such a hard on about McCaffery playing his kids and I don't care. I'm just not that big of a McCaffery fan but I do pretty much know he is bit more up on the game than me or you. You state that you can't make an evaluation about someone who only plays mop up minutes yet you constantly state KM should have played more. Based on what? And it can't be what he did during the next season. Jumps are made, significant ones at that age. You can't have it both ways. But of course, because I am a wrestling fan that immediately makes my opinions invalid and can't understand bball. You should take your own advice.
why is it hilarious as those were CMac and PMacs stats when the twins were FR or is it because they make you out to be a lying fool.
only with your hatred can be you this stupid to fight with the actual stats of who got what for minutes in the Twins FR season.
Learn English, dumbass.
I agree, but Iowa didn't have the luxury to play Kris as anything more than the role that he did. Again, Kris and/or Filip were constantly in foul trouble that whole season. So there were multiple games that their minutes were greatly effected by that.
who was he siupposed to take minutes away from Keegan played the 4 which is the same position as Kris Philp played the 5 so realistically those were the only 2 players who actually started over Kris. Pat was the 3rd leading scorer that season,
You said you knew Kris wasn't a good player his first year based on a tiny sample size of garbage time. I said thats not enough evidence for an informed opinion.
Ok, last time I'm replying to your ridiculousness....no hatred for Patrick whatsoever, he just wasn't close to as good as the Murrays in any way and his defense was a downright liability at times. Keegan 3, Kris 4, Fil 5 even though he wasn't a 5. Let both CM and PM come off the bench and play plenty but not be focal points. PM coming off bench and playing short spurts with his conditioning issues has always made sense.
Support Iowa players and coaches…. Unless they are named Murray or Heller.
For F sake have some comprehension skills. I said he wasn't a good D-1 level player as a freshman. I also said, that you conveniently ignore, is he worked hard and got better. He deserved everything he earned. You try too hard to make yourself look good and only the mindless seem to agree with you. Show me one, just one post that said anything close to KM needing more minutes as a freshman. So to say that I was one of the only ones who felt that way at the time is simply moronic.
It's funny how the Fran haters seem to think I am such a proponent of him as a coach. You look for anything and everything to jump on if it is even close to showing a level of support. (that's you too Dean) I don't necessarly think he is a good game coach. What he is good at is an evaluater of talent. As far as comprehension skills, you like to pick apart comments made and don't take the time to see the initial comment. I made a comment about Perkins and Ulis being irrelevant - because they weren't relevant to a response made to my initial comment. Not because I was defending anyone else.
Spot on Herby impersonation. Well done.
Good for Jack, I wish him the best.
Since you said "long ago" I'm guessing you mean how Margaret and Fran felt about their other 2 kids playing in Iowa City. (not the accident) Fran will hang it up in the next 2 years.
Yeah. Can't blame the kid for wanting to play in the sweet 16 and beyond one day. Wish him the best
I honestly think Fran loves coaching and Iowa has been very good to him over the years. He’s not going to move on without giving plenty of professional courtesy for Iowa to plan and hire his replacement.
