[Herky] Stuck with Fran

[Dennis v]

For an 8 minute stretch in last night’s game, they had 5 guys playing their butts off, moving without the basketball, driving, sharing the ball with crisp passing, plus a smothering defense.

They certainly have enough depth and talent to play like that most of the time.  I’m not sure they are well-conditioned, because they have stretches of longer than 8 minutes where they get very lazy on defense.

Yes, we need Lickliter or Alford back.  



This team should be better, the talent is there and more is coming, but there is a problem beyond youth.  They are playing sloppy and there is a reason, but it has not revealed itself yet.  Dissension in the lock room?  I don't  know but it needs to get straightened out soon or this season is a lose.

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
