[Herky] Stuck with Fran

My memories of Lick and Steve are less pleasant - Lick was in over his head in the Big Ten and Steve was too arrogant for Iowans.  Fran is pretty volatile - wonder if he's more 'intense' during practices.  
And yes, Dr. Tom seemed to be a really nice guy and his teams played an entertaining brand of basketball.  
And it's not that good to be a Hawkeye fan among all the Hoosiers and Boilers here in Indiana!
Go Hawks!

Subject: [Herky] Stuck with Fran  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_______________________________________________
