[Herky] End of game

Fri Dec 23 09:06:39 PST 2016

No one can argue that he has dramatically improved the program after Lickliter. But that isn’t saying much. J The late season melt downs that have plagued his Iowa teams need correcting which I’m sure he is trying his best to do. And I’m not knowledgeable enough about the future recruiting pipeline. But the current freshman have looked good over the past few games- we’ll see how it goes in conference play. 

But yes, and it is only a gut instinct, but I expect a significant meltdown (no thoughts on when) that will result in a “mutually agreeing to part ways” statement. I hope not- rather I’d like nothing more than Fran taking the program to new heights in a way that can make Iowa fans proud.

Go Hawks and Merry Christmas.

John

You don't expect Fran McCaffery to coach at Iowa for a long time? Would you care to elaborate? He has dramatically improved the program over Lickliter lows and the future with incoming recruits looks bright. Do you expect a "Bobby Knight" temper incident that will force his departure?

I don't expect that to occur.

Actually, he texted an apology to Jones.

I hope he is Iowa’s coach for a long time.

As my wife keenly noted Fran “regretted” the incident but never apologized. I still maintain he does not represent Iowa values that have made us so proud to be called a Hawkeye.

It seems like the reaction on the state/national level has been pretty mixed.  It certainly is not going to help Iowa's reputation.  I thing the responses  by Fran and Horner today were very good and will put this to rest pretty quickly.

Fortunately  Grayson Allen decided to trip yet another player and the focus is now on Coach K.

I disagree - to smack the ball out of his hands and score 2  when the margin is 10 -  thats the cheap shot.  Fran was already upset at the cheap foul and then .........

His actions hurt Iowa's reputation.

I hope Gary Barta lets Fran know that this behavior is unacceptable.

Several fans were mad, booing.  Fran is still pretty impulsive, but I think the cheap foul on Jock with a dozen seconds left (potentially a foul that could have resulted in injury) really got to him.

Fran said he spoke later with the ND coach,

Weird ending.  Iowa gets a defensive rebound with 5 seconds remaining and big lead. Everyone starts to walk off but ND guy hacks at the ball and steal it away in effort to get last bucket. Classless move by the ND guy. But then Fran makes it worse by getting mad about this and has his team leave the court with out shaking hands.  Just as classless. It might have been a good idea for Fran to leave without shaking hands since he was mad but no one else was upset. Let the rest of the team shake hands. Especially when you have all the Iowa connections on ND team.   Let Jok talk with Horner, etc.

Delay in start of 2nd half.  A fan is receiving medical attention.
