<p dir="ltr">As I thought about how to start this column, I looked at Twitter and noticed Lavar Ball was trending.What now?The father of a probable top-two pick in the upcoming NBA Draft had delivered yet another cringe-worthy rant of self-promotion while simultaneously managing to demean a female journalist.After seeing that, I knew exactly what to write.Joe Wieskamp is the antithesis of Lavar Ball.Does a lot of good things.Does them in an admirable way.And says very little about them – or himself.Yet the incoming Iowa basketball recruit deserves headlines – yes, for his accomplishments. This is the sports section, after all.</p>
