Fred > Fran

I wish Prohm could get us elevated for "Superbowls" like Fred could. Off the top of my head, here's Fran's resume win list:

Fred Hoiberg

Steve Prohm

Tom Izzo

Roy Williams

Jim Boeheim

John Beilein

Thad Mata

Matt Painter

Bo Ryan

Tom Crean

Ben Jacobson
I'd take Lon Kruger over a few of those coaches at a minimum and that's before really going thru Steve's opponents.

Fiesty today after Iowa loses arent we?

Is your role to police the board or something?
No its just a question. You wanted to make fun of him for using it but its something a Hawk did a minimum of 3 times yesterday.
Why are you afraid to say it?
 
I get the FAMU game may not have a huge impact assuming we don't make the tournament, but it was literally the biggest upset per ESPN BPI since the metric was established in 2008. It was still historically bad.
I won't argue the historically bad part. But the impact will end up being virtually nil on our season, at least at its current trajectory.
 
He seems to be holding up fine. He had 16 and 18 last night.
I'm not crapping on the kid but he was gassed at the end of the Penn St game. That got uptempo for a long time in the second half and both teams were pushing with layups.
Kid has been outstanding this year, so I'm not bagging on him but he'll need his rest when he can get it.

Ok....so you wanted me to tell an Iowa fan that Iowa is still living rent free in Georges head? That doesnt make any sense.

This. Garza is one of the best players in the country the first 30 min of the game

He always looks gassed after about the first 10 minutes of the game.

But the game in Philly against PSU was bad. It sounded like it was 80 plus degrees in there and players kept slipping because there was so much sweat on the floor.

I am hoping the short turnaround after that game was the reason for the poor shooting last night.

Both Iowa and PSU lost last night and combined to shoot 10/59 from 3 point range. They both had 2 days off since their game in The Palestra.

I think Fran is a good coach in regards to offensive movement and recruiting players that fit his system. Garza is a prime example. What turns me off about Fran is his sideline arrogance that turns into anger when things don't go his way. You can see that same arrogance in Conner - who is actually a good solid role player when he isn't trying to stir up the opposing crowd, officials and opposing teams.

Oh I agree he's playing at a very high level. But it seems like every game he's winding up with bloody nose, missing tooth, etc. He's playing a ton of minutes and taking a beating down in the post. I just don't know if someone's body can hold up to that 30+ games.

Fran's sideline behavior turns off a lot of people including a lot of Iowa fans so that isnt breaking news.

Connor and Toussaint started yapping last night because the PG from Nebraska would not shut up. Shooting arrows into the crowd after made 3's and being a complete bonehead whenever he made a basket.
