UCLA Hired a scumbag.

[cyfan964]

The protesters deserve to be heard once again.
They gathered outside Carver-Hawkeye Arena to help bring attention to Steve Alford’s unconscionable behavior after his star player turned sexual assailant. They stood for what was right after the Iowa coach acted to shield a violent criminal and intimidate the victim both publicly and privately.

Hawk fans are still bitter that Alford was the best coach they've had since Dr. Tom

LOL hawks....

I agree he's scum, but why bring up an article about a year after it was written? Also I don't think there's anyone I want to lose more than Alford. If his teams playing Iowa, I'll cheer for the hawks.

Shows that maybe Alford wasn't all of the problem - he just needed decent talent:wink:

I don't like Alford but it's kind of hard to not laugh at the success he's having knowing how much it hurts those Hawk fans

Steve Alford: fired by Iowa and now winning tourney games at UCLA…

Amusing

 

[cyrocksmypants]

The key thing to remember is that apparently Iowa State is the bad ones for having a coach that liked to drink, though.

Steve Alford..the only coach to ever flex on the floor. Tool.

 

[carvers4math]

I was surprised UCLA hired him after the comments he made about Pierce's first known rape victim. I guess he kind of just admitted he was wrong when they asked him about it this time.

They were always "final four sleepers"

Just nobody knew that meant final 4 teams to make the tourney.

What would Hawk fans do if ISU played Alford in the final 4? Heads explode because they don't know who they hate more? If there is that chance, go Bruins!

Hopefully Alford is bounced tonight.

 

[CycloneErik]

I blinked, and Florida's up 11.

I'd rather say he was fired than leaving my power conference school for New Mexico, just saying.

McDermott left and wasn't fired, does that bother you? So yeah, AlFraud leaving on his own doesn't bother me either.

Yes, that explains why so many couldn't stand him even when he was in Iowa City. You can argue that he's a better basketball coach than Fran if you want, but Alford did plenty of damage to the program (nearly as much as Lickliter, IMO) with the way he handled the Pierce situation. The hate for Alford goes far deeper than wins and losses, at least in my case.

Boy, they caught 34 at an awkward moment.

Nope. He was like that pretty much all the time.
