Is Fran McCaffery the Kirk Ferentz of basketball?

[UnCytely]

Steve Prohm has been bringing in good players on paper, yet he has a home loss and a losing record record to Fran McCaffery. So how do the Prohm defenders spin this game? Is McCaffery better at getting the most out of his talent, or is Prohm just a poor game-day coach?

I don’t think the discussion you’re looking for will happen here.

Ad hominem attack doesn't answer the question.

The players were flat. Needs to be a line up change IMO. Look at Lewis. People like myself have been getting crap for asking where he is and he might get double digits tonight with less than 10 minutes.

There’s going to be overreactions but man there’s just no defending that crap.

 

[mattyheiden]

Iowa just has a better team overall. Hailiburton is a heck of a talent though

McCaffery is half the man Ferentz is. Closer to Brian Ferentz

I’ve always respected and admired Kirk. It’s the exact opposite for Fran.

We get it, you hate CSP.

I’ve been wondering that forever. He does this for football, basketball, and politics.

Is there a limit to number of threads an individual poster can start? There really, really should be.

Meaningless but he seems too only recruit almost exclusively white guys. Tonight first time in a while ive seen over 15 minutes of Caucasian basketball

 

[jcisuclones]

I hope Fran signs a lifetime contract because he’s a bad coach. I was upset Kirk signed a lifetime contract because he’s a good coach.

The game is too big for some of our players right now. Grill doesn't look like he should be out there, same can be said for Griffin. Lewis looks like something clicked tonight.

It's early and there are a lot of new pieces on this team. Let them gel, give them time. These guys at Iowa have mostly been playing together for 2+ years. They played like a team tonight

Idk how anyone can respect Fran. He is a pathetic human being. For those that want him at Iowa long term, you better hope we make a change then, cus he coaches circles around Prohm.

Let's see if he's given more opportunities after a good showing tonight.

That sounds like what Iowa players said re:Cyhawk football game about 20 years ago.

The two best players Prohm has recruited leaving after their Sophomore and Freshman years didn't help.
