I never understood his staff. He’s got two short fat dudes on his bench who look like they should be selling hot dogs in lower Manhattan. No wonder he can’t recruit worth a damn and honestly it’s probably why Iowa sucks. His assistants are awful.
I guess Iowa's collapse will start in March this year...

You think Barta will pay him 8 million to go away either? Iowa is between a rock and a hard place on this one unless they miraculously turn things around this year and contend for a tournament spot.
Next year is going to be rough with Cook leaving so this year is a make or break year for him. If they fall apart ad only win 5 or 6 conference games again and their defense continues to look this bad something will have to give in the next couple years.
Isn't the 3 point specialist who sucked at making 3's Oglesby still a grad assistant?
Ya they don't have a choice. I mean it could be lawyered down but he aint walking away without getting paid.
All I know is when Fran gets all fired up his assistants and players look like they’re all about to piss themselves.
The next 4 or 5 years could be pretty bleak for Iowa basketball. They've already shown signs in their 2 road games this year that they could spiral out of control and end up with a 4 win season again.
Things could get really ugly next year without Cook, kind of like last year when they all thought they would be way better without Jok. They have no good recruits coming in except Patrick and hes been dropping in the rankings every year of high school. Connor doesnt do much of anything except dribble around and talk smack. Weiskamp is going to be the only talented player they have for the foreseeable future.
They are either going to have to start winning basketball games or something will have to happen. No way he makes it 4 more years like this, their fanbase is already turning on him.
That's Barta's problem not Fran's. He mocked the media when they brought if his seat was warm. He truly thinks he's doing a good job
I have a feeling he won't get fired or leave until Patrick graduates.

Good gosh almighty I wish we had beat these buffoons.
Take a look at the SRS column here...
They have demonstrably declined as a program since the 2014 or so range.
Seems like every 2-3 years they have a "line change" in the main contributors to their program, which is like any other college basketball program. That is not really the problem.
The problem is every new "generation" is worse than the last.
Marble, White, Gesell, etc. >
Uthoff, Jok, Clemens, etc. >
Cooke, Bohannon, Garza, etc.
And yes, I know this is an approximation. These generations intersect and bleed into one another.
The "rebound" so far this season is modest and could reverse itself if they are outclassed night after night in Big Ten play. I have no idea how they got themselves up to #14.

never said it 'sux'...just relaying from his teammate that he wussed-out with basketball because his 20-yr old wife laid down the lawYeah, working for Morgan Stanley sux

Isn't that the game where Iowa was in control most of the game and had a real shot to win, only to have a complete meltdown after he got ejected?
Because at the time Oregon was ranked around 12th I think and was suppose to be the class of the Pac-12.
