In a players' only meeting? He's not a player on the team.
Maybe a talk to the team at practice with the coaches or something.
Although that's usually reserved for players that were good so still not sure what Connor was doing there.

Call me crazy, but the point of a players only meeting would typically be to exclude coaches. I'd imagine you'd also then want to exclude someone with a direct line to the coach, such as, say, his son. I'd imagine that's especially so when said coach's son isn't even on the team.
And anyone in the B1G that they've played will too.
ESPN is going to do everything they can to get 7-8 B1G teams in.
But it seemed to have worked. I'll make fun of Iowa til the cows come in but they have tons of valid options to make fun of. We don't need to create them...we are better than that (are we?).
I assume they are in the same league as Marathon Oil.
I'm pretty sure that poster is level-headed enough to know that Sparty MBB is terrible this year.
That just leaves more bandwidth for Caitlin and the Hawkettes.
Sounds like a Motown group, doesn't it?
Define 'touch an official' because TJ is shoulder to shoulder with an official for most of the game.
I get what you're saying, but the extra layer here is the former player is the son of the current head coach. It's not his place to be in a player's only meeting. It also makes it a strange situation when the coach has another son on the roster that would be included in this meeting.
What incentive does ESPN have to get more Big Ten teams in? They don't have a contract with the league and they don't broadcast the tournament.
FOXs bracket guy who also works for BTN only had 6 Big Ten teams in yesterday's update.
Placing your hands on an official or bumping them. TJ may be shoulder to shoulder but that's because he wants to get close enough where they can have a conversation and it's not seen as him trying to one up him or something. Also notice that TJ rarely ever talks to officials without his hands behind his back. He does that to show calmness as tons of coaches wail their arms or throw air punches and look nuts.
I don't think you understand how these meetings work. It's not national defense.
What I think is hilarious about some Iowa fans is this idea that ISU has a **** ton of NIL funds and just out spends teams and that is why they are good this year. I mean literally the only high profile recruit or transfer on the team is Omaha and he doesn't play. They love to make excuses for Fran's horrible track record of recruiting especially at the guard position.
I'll reiterate, we can't both be a poverty university as their fanbase claims and have insanely deep pockets to pay our players lol.
If everyone wants Connor at a meeting, then have at it. With that said, there's no changing my mind that it's incredibly lame that he's still just hanging around the locker room and listening in on team meetings. Go find a career or something.
Agreed. I just don't want language that isn't thought through when they start talking about automatic ejections.
What? Where the heck were you getting that I was implying it was something like that? Such a strange take from you.
Players only meetings are usually about getting the team to come together without the coach. There could be a million reasons why they need to happen. All I'm saying is it's a bit of a weird dynamic when you have one player on the team that is the son of the coach and a second former player as part of the meeting who is also a son of the coach. We have no idea what they're talking about or why they need to talk about it, but you kind of have to acknowledge the extra layer of awkwardness that could create. That's all I'm saying.
