<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">I am disappointed with the start but it does seem like there is a lot of over reaction. This is a close knit team and I think they will battle through this. Seems like the biggest issue to me is turnovers. They are currently
290th in the country and last in the BT in turnovers. Many of those are preventable - trying to force passes. Each of those is an empty possession for Iowa and often and easy basket for other team. Reduce the turnovers by 8 an you probably have a difference
of 12+ points between extra Iowa points and reduced IN points. All of the sudden it is a pretty close game that can go either way.</p>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Relax, fair weather fans. The ship will right itself. There's a lot of talent on this team, although they're obviously out of syc at the monent. Fran has done a good job bringing us back from the depths of the Lick years.
He has been successful everywhere he's been. He has a good staff and they've recruited well the last few years. But if it makes you feel better to whine, bitch, complain and crucify the coach, so be it. If you can't step back from the edge...then jump!
Who needs you anyway?</font></div>

<p class="x_x_m_-8121173171514347568x_MsoNormal">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.</p>

<p class="x_x_m_-8121173171514347568x_MsoNormal">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.</p>
