F him. You don't get an opinion on coaches behavior when you lionize Bobby Knight
Woodson has choice words about Fran incident with bench
- Thread starter Scangg
- Start date
And Underwood is not?
Coached a pretty good game today. Even had a clipboard and was drawing up plays on it.
Indiana lost to Northwestern today
Woodson may have a complete meltdown any game now. I'm not much of a fan of his.
Bob Knight has three ncaa titles. Iowa hasn’t been to a sweet sixteen in 20 plus years. Hence the difference in how coaches are viewed. Just win baby.
It's not viewed differently unless you are a hypocrite or simple mind.
When you win, you get away with more. Just how sports work. Nothing hypocritical or simple minded about it.
This is correct,.. Unfortunately coach Knight isn't winning anymore, which is why he is mostly viewed in a negative light these days.
how does he embarrass the state of Iowa? Standing up for his players? I know it’s harder to find things to be critical of when we win.
Yes, I forgot that I read that in the NCAA rule book about rules being applied differently based off of winning percentage. Now I remember.
And people wonder why Fran loses his shit from time to time.
I would probably be even worse than Fran. Bob Knights chair throwing incident would be minor with the terrible reffing in the big 10.
Or maybe it’s because there’s video that he actually choked one of his players??? 🤷♂️

For the fourth time, the only point I was trying to make is that it is actually very easy to be liked and get along in this online community. You cheer on Iowa, you joke around a bit and you enjoy banter with other posters. It would be stupid to be “arrogant” about that because any simpleton - even me - can accomplish it.
What is remarkable is finding a way to be so toxic and stupid that you are nearly universally loathed in this community as Northern is. Now that is an accomplishment that takes literally years of abject stupidity.
That was a rule in Iowa High School basketball in the 70's. Pretty silly that if a coach stood up to say anything to a ref he got a T.
Well you certainly bring up how well liked you are a lot so it seems you do care. Northern being a not well liked poster and overall disgusting human just goes without saying for those that have been here awhile

Lotta slow readers in this thread, lol.
There is a difference between caring and setting the record straight. Just trying to set the record straight, AGAIN.

Show me in the NBA rule book where someone like Lebron has different rules than the last guy on the bench on a ten day contract?!? Now I remember. Just because you want to bury your head in the sand doesn’t mean that’s not how things are. 🤷♂️
And you seem to be okay with that?!?! I am not and obviously Fran is not because we’re just little ole Iowa.
But that’s how things are I guess. Might as well just accept it and take it.
Never said I was ok with it. And what’s strange to me is that Iowa is seemingly built much better for the NCAA whistle than the Big Ten. Big ten teams seem to get to the ncaa tourney after pounding and beating each other up all season, and aren’t ready for a much tighter whistle than you get in the Big Ten. I always thought that is a huge advantage for iowa, but hasn’t played out that way yet.
Iowa is not playing (or hasn’t been playing) B1G competition in the tournament either.
2013-14: Took an 11 seed Tenn to OT. Tenn reached the sweet 16.
2014-15: beat Davidson and lost to Gonzaga who reached the elite 8 before losing to the eventual national champion.
2015-16: beat Temple and lost to the eventual national champion Villanova.
2018-19: beat Cincy and lost to Tenn in OT (again).
2019-20: cancelled
2020-21: beat GCU and then got beat by a criminally under seeded Oregon team coming off a first rd bye.
2021-22: beat by Richmond.
I would say Iowa has moderate success in the tournament but generally has lost to the better team. The last two years being the exception with an argument for Oregon given the other circumstances. The Oregon game may be the biggest disappointment in Fran’s tenure, until Richmond came along. Keegan gets dinged up and no one can shoot (besides PMac). Ugh.
Yeah, that wasn't the first time laying hands on a player either. I remember he kicked his own kid.
There is certainly some “luck” when it comes to the NCAA tournament. Not saying every team needs that luck (ie blue bloods) although some of them have surely benefited from it at times. Iowa is a program that’s going to need a little help to make a deep tournament run.
2020-21: Vs Oregon, Iowa ran into quite a bit of bad luck.
2021-22: vs Richmond there was some bad luck but should have been able to overcome that.
And they are going to have to beat a really good team. You look at uni during their sweet 16 run and they handed it to Kansas. That was a pretty good game.
Cmon Illini man. your better then that. Fran is no more of an imposing red ass then the guy sitting on your bench. Underwood can get just as red ass, and look like he's going to blow out the top of his head, just like Fran.... Throw in Izzo, and Howard on your list as well......
Okay, you win. You don’t care but are very passionate about setting the record straight.
To me, and I am a simple man…..
If I know I am right, and I don’t care then I don’t really give two sh*ts about ‘setting the record straight’
Fully prepared for the ‘for the SIXTH damn time I am going to tell you that I don’t care and damnit people like me’
Odd hill to plant your flag on.
Whenever a coach sees the opposing coach huddling with the officials they tend to get curious.
It is as disregarded as the third base coach's box in baseball......
Speaking of Woodson what an awful hire. Head scratcher at the time. Besides being an alum who was 63 when they hired him he was fired twice as nba coach, been an assistant for past 7-8 years and had no college experience. He has a good talented team especially with TDJ. But he and thompson are gone and good chance that 5* guard is one and done after this season. They better get someone lot more talented and qualified whenever they hire their next coach which is probably not too far away.
Time to cheer for another team. You are garbage
Woodson should have shut his mouth & moved on. Instead, the Iowa loss led to the Northwestern loss. What a leader. Not.
Woodson has spoken to Kevin Warren.
I wonder if Mike knows that Fran and Kevin were college teammates.
I’m sure the IU bench was completely innocent in all of this. I’d love to know what their bench said in regards to them “talking shit” to the Iowa players and more about this technical foul (which was never accessed but clearly pointed to the IU assistant).
Hopefully dummy opened up a can of worms on his own self.
Enough.....we're all letting Woodson off the hook for his team giving up one of the largest comebacks in IA history.
Don't let him control the message; rather, let the end score (fact) control the message.....that being IU lost. BTW, and again at NW. Woodson's message should now be HE let Iowa beat his coaching twice....that's the message
