[Herky] Fran McCaffery unplugged: In-depth with the Hawkeyes coach on what derailed Iowa's season

[Keith Voigts]

Gwen wants to unplug Fran's unplugged interview.  

 

It's very simple to me.  Take away all the tech speak and you are left with
one big word-lack of effort (yogi speak).  Defense requires superhuman
effort.  Forget the X's and O's.  Without effort there is nothing.  Effort
resuts from conditioning, communication, understanding and all the other
buzz words.  I'm not saying why effort was so inconsistent, I'm just saying
it wasn't there much of the time.

 

Also, I agree with Fran's comments about 3 point shooting.  Even though the
offensive stats look good, the three's didn't come enough to allow the Hawks
to dominate.

My theory on why Iowa's defense was so bad this year are youth and plantar
fasciitis.  I don't think most of us realize how much the foot injury
impacted Jordan's defense.  I don't know that he will ever be a great
defender but I do think he can at least slow the other PG down. This last
year they went by him like he was standing still.  

 

Coaching can always be better but when they had Woodbury, Clemons, Uthoff,
and Gesell they were not bad on defense. Did they forget how to coach
defense over the last few years.

Yes.

 

He knows the team had deficiencies on defense for many reasons, including
ineffective coaching.

 

He's right about the talent he's got. But I was shocked how poorly they
played on D in conference play.

Does any of this make sense to those of you who know basketball?
