130 points per game! Paul Westhead transition offense!
I'm not sure I agree with the transition offense philosophy but I like how you are thinking. It's basically an offshoot of what I preached yesterday. Iowa needs to be zigging when everyone else is zagging. Be trend setters, not followers. If everyone is going to recruit big guards, recruit the best smaller, quicker guards. Matchup nightmares for opponents. The same with the bigs. Quick guards who can drive to the bucket and guards (even smaller ones) who can shoot lights out from beyond the arc. Watch the quick little guards in the NBA, they give the bigger guards fits trying to defend them. The problem with the little guards in the NBA is you can't play zone so they isolate the small guy and post them up. In college you can play zone so the size isn't as detrimental.Originally posted by Letsgohawks411:

A college style zone is not allowed in the NBA, but a more limited zone can be done. It's used more of a change of pace rather than as a base defense.Originally posted by Ronman:
I watch very little of the NBA, but I thought they changed the rule against playing zone defense.

You can't play a college-type zone in the NBA. If the defensive player is unguarded in the paint, it's a technical (defensive 3 second call).Originally posted by jaffarosenfels:

Phantom, I disagree with your ideas on zigging and zagging, etc. Fran is not looking to be like Michigan or Iowa State or whoever. He is looking to do it his way. It is pretty obvious after 5 years that he wants to push the ball offensively and press defensively. He wants to be able to play both man and zone pretty equally and he likes to get his guys anticipating and out in passing lanes. If he can get a little water bug point guard, like Ulis, who can really play then great but I doubt he would ever go out of his way to recruit small.
Yogi didn't get dumber from his freshman year to this year. He has no talent around him now. Put him on Iowa and the Hawks could go deep in the tournament. The big stretch guards need to play zone because they can't defend the quick guards man-to-man.Originally posted by jaffarosenfels:
I'll take the big guard almost every time. Give me the guy who gets switched on to a big and can hold his own. Yogi looked pretty dumb the other night right? Give me the guy who has the length to play a Syracuse type zone

This coming from the guy who thinks "rankings don't matter". Kentucky is laughing at your opinion. Oh, and what is the lie you are going to tell about me today? How about saying I claimed White shouldn't start and shouldn't play more than 5 minutes a game. The truth really doesn't seem to matter with you, so go ahead and spread more lies.Originally posted by DanL53:

You are such a dope. I've seen what, four threads or so, since last night where you are TELLING another poster why they are wrong and you are right. You lied AGAIN about my views on recruiting just now. And the thing is, people who read these boards don't forget an idiot like you.Originally posted by PhantomFlyer:

My favorite post of yours, if you must know, is your explanation of why the Hawkeyes really WERE as bad as you predicted but it was the rest of the Big Ten that was WORSE than you thought it would be. But that the other poster was WRONG about being right about the Hawkeyes potential this season.![]()
Holy High Heaven you are bat s*&t crazy!!!
You've been gone through the six game winning streak and only got the gut up to come back after the Penn State loss (for the most part) I wonder what kind of streak it will take to get rid of you again?!?!? Of course, the season isn't even over and you are already predicting doom and gloom for next year.
I've only one thing to add to dope and bat s%t crazy, and that would be liar. A lying, bat s%^t crazy, dope!
ONE!!!! Maryland and Wiscy. You don't have to tell everyone the BIG was down, that's been obvious for a while but I'm sure you'll give credit to yourself 3 years down the road.Originally posted by PhantomFlyer:

Where did the B1G rank in power conferences? Please cite for me the basketball experts who thought this was a strong B1G this season. Michigan was decimated due to injuries. OSU struggled because of youth. Since you are so smart, how many B1G teams were ranked? Let's try to deal with facts, Dan, instead of childish rantings. The B1G got 1 team (Wis) with a seed lower than a 7 seed. ONE!!!! I didn't make the pairings, the committee did and based on these seedings they weren't impressed with the strength of the conference. So, why don't you call them bat **** crazy.
I wasn't "gone" through the 6 game winning streak. I posted, but since I was giving kudos you didn't get your nose out of joint. You know how many posts I made after the PSU? ZERO. I didn't start posting until the pairings came out. Once again, you get your facts wrong. Doom and gloom for next year? LOL. I said Iowa is likely going to struggle with the loss of Whitey and Gabe. How ridiculous I think this would be the case losing the team's leading rebounder, top scorer and one of the best players to ever play at Iowa. Stop with the paranoia act.
Words of advice for you. Take a couple days off from posting. Seriously. You tend to fly off the handle and that last paragraph is really juvenile. You've given yourself self imposed timeouts before because you've admitted you "lose it" at times. This may be a good time for you to relax and enjoy other things.

I've said and it is my opinion, that after the top 35, or so, ranked players, the rankings are pretty much useless.
That hasn't changed and won't change. But you continually lie and say claim I said the rankings are useless.

I (and others) have asked if you have anything to support your "rankings are pretty much useless" (after 35) opinion. Maybe 10 years from now you'll shock us by providing a shred of evidence to support your opinion.
Perhaps we can go to Hawkeye Report Civil Court and sue each other to see who wins? Please, enlighten me as to what key points I could have left out?Seems pretty cut and dried to me, and I think people who read my posts know I don't get highly technical.![]()

LOL. From the guy who called me a liar with a totally made up Woody quote. Then when I brought up the point my criticisms have repeatedly been the weak guard play, not the bigs this year, you fall silent. Also, you became a mute when I brought up our discussion, a while ago, where I said Fran needed to use the final scholarship (at that time we had one) on a PG or a good shooting 2G. You wanted to waste it on a backup big stiff. How you then could claim I said Woody must be replaced next year is beyond me but I've stopped trying to figure out your lies.Originally posted by DanL53:
