[Herky] Stuck with Fran

[Stephen Somermeyer]

Last night was another discouraging game for the Hawkeyes at both ends of the court.  It was a game of big runs for both teams and Indiana had one more than Iowa.  I was a bit surprised that neither coach was eager to call a timeout to slow the momentum until the runs got to double digits.  Officiating was uneven at best for both teams.  
I was optimistic for this year's team but perhaps I underestimated Peter Jok's value to the overall team performance.  This year's team seems leaderless most of the time and lacks a 'go to' guy who can deliver.  Haven't given up completely but they're in a bad spot right now.  The young big guys are getting a rude wake-up welcome to the Big Ten.
Go Hawks!

I believe I tend to agree with you, John. There is time for this team to rebound from this horrendous start but I sure don't see anything to recommend it now.
It all goes back to the firing of Tom Davis and hiring of "he who shall remain nameless"  We have never recovered from that

I assume because he has two sons committed to the Hawks we are stuck with Fran for a few more years. But he has proven nothing in his six years and this season looks like it could be his worst team yet. His Philly personality is contrary to “Iowa nice” and hence I am joining the others and checking out of Iowa men’s BB. Even the announcers tonight were saying “terrible defense”, “awful offense” about the Iowa team. I have been a continual supporter of KFz because his teams have always risen after bad years and his genuinely caring personality combined with Iowa roots as an assistant. I don’t see these traits in Fran. So sad. John
