The Fran fade

[CyTwins]

McCaffery boys 35 minutes, 3 points, 1-6 shooting.... Let them play! Let them play!

Lol this is great content

Why wouldnt he? He is a lifelong Hawkeye. What else is he going to do. He also wasnt to collect his $1.00 from the new NIL rule.

I think he will come back and play the game in Hilton next year, then probably hang it up after and go to work for an insurance company.

Zach McCabe needs a new assistant manager at Jimmy John's.

What else is BoBo going to do? He's not going to the NBA, or the G league for that matter. He can put off his medical equipment sales job by a year. He'll be back, and will be putting his signed parking tickets on the Hilton floor instead of shoes next season.

Another year and he qualifies for Medicare.

I wouldn’t want to eat in that Jimmy John’s in February or March. The quality in sandwiches just wouldn’t be up to par.

On the plus side, McCabe lets Hawkeye fans order off the secret menu, and get his famous "Fat One". It's a double portion of bologna with extra mayo. And Zach delivers it personally...

After loss to Badgers, Iowa's Zach McCabe tweets his anger, prompting Fran McCaffery to ban team Twitter use

<br /><br />The two games Iowa has played against Wisconsin this season have caused the Hawkeyes some noteworthy grief.<br />

Is Iowa really 1-4 in their last 5 games???

And they were lucky to win that one game honestly. Iowa shot 20 more FTs than MSU and only won by 6

Death, taxes, and Iowa fading into March

I want Fran to be at Iowa for 20 more years but if I'm being honest BJ Armstrong would intrigue me. He would be a disaster

Iowa is a better team with Bohannon cheering from the bench (see last season after he shut it down).

 

[BCClone]

He has to think about joining the work force. If he hangs around much longer he runs the risk of being too old to get hired for a lot of jobs.

He probably doesn’t know you have to work a couple years before you draw social security.

Only if Jorbo has a hot girlfriend to do

He’ll probably get vaccinated before me, 60 is too young apparently

So Fran is more worried about developing players for the future than winning now. This is a once in 25 year shot at something if you are Iowa and Fran is worried about next year. Most coaches pull back on playing time for their bench as the season goes on, not Fran. His 2 foul rule is also something. You sit your best player with 2 fouls in the first half and he ends up with 2 fouls in the whole game.

I want Fran to stay at Iowa long enough for a different program to get DeVries

I think the Dolph situation killed Fran with the media. He got one of them suspended so they are willing to go after Fran. Dolph may suck as a PxP guy but he seems to be a nice guy overall.

I think he is actually pretty good for a homer.

Random thoughts:

1. The last shot of the game for Indiana shows just how slow Joe W is with his first step on defense. Had no chance on legitimately guarding that shot.
2. Fran basically fouled out Luka....Luka had 2 fouls.
3. Starting 5 points per minute played: Murray-0.625, Garza-0.667, Joe W. - 0.434, Connor- 0.125, Bobo - 0.325
4. Connor McCaffery had more fouls than points. He also had more fouls than combined rebounds and assists.
5. The McCaffery brothers had a combined 6 fouls. Their combined points, assists, and rebounds was 8. They combined for 35 minutes of playing time.
6. Garza with only 2 rebounds....Iowa can't win if he doesn't get more.
7. I don't hate Fran's decision to bench Luka in the first half if Iowa is showing it can maintain being competitive in the game. He throws a little hissy fit when asked about it. All he has to say is "You know Mark, sometimes its a hindsight 20/20 deal. I put him back in and he gets a third foul and I'm handcuffed in the second half. So I decided to leave him out and see how the other guys could manage."
