Hoiberg Love

[CyDan]

Was watching the big 10 game on espn tonight and the announcers started ranting about "immature and childish" coaches after he who shall not be named was throwing a fit. They followed that with saying Coach Hoiberg is effective without all that.

Certainly was nice to hear.

Even better that it happened during an Iowa game.

 

[CyStalker]

That just has to get under the skin of the Hawks. LOL!!

During Iowa game while they were playing awful. So awesome. I bet Fran doesn't play Flappy Bird because he'd throw his phone every time he lost. That'd be a lot of phones

 

[mike4cy]

I was thinking it and then they said it...awesome!

 

[cyrocksmypants]

But Fran does things the right way.

 

[casey1973]

Heard that too. I bet the Squawkeyes listening to that nearly choked. Just like their team.

 

[CapnCy]

Fred is just calm and measured...and respectful. His team plays with confidence and don't get belittled by him...just how Fred is....and why he's such a success....not a blowhard.

Many of the kindness/most successful people I've met have similar demeanor.

Loved it! Throw a little salt in that wound.

Sit down Francis.

Had visions of tavern Hoks throwing beer at their TVs.

Granted he did say that when fran was mad that Craft clearly traveled while imbounding the ball. Pretty horrid non call.

Per the Blum twitter feed the announcers were wrong about that. You get a 3 foot square box to inbound from, and can move your feet as much as you want within that zone. So it wasn't a clear travel. It may have been a travel, but more than likely was a 5 second.

Um, yeah, have you read tweets by hawkize? Mr. Stout is a little riled up.

We usually have some pretty crappy calls go against us (or non-calls), but at least Hoiberg doesn't go postal when it happens.

Here is the problem with Fran IMO. Although he has demonstrated more restraint since his ejections, he has a bit of Marcus Smart in him. When you cry wolf (bit**ing relentlessly at the refs) all the time, they start to ignore you and then develop a low tolerance for it. Fran may have had a legit gripe, but it falls on deaf ears.

So you're saying it worked.......:spinny:

Just a bit. Mike better take blood pressure meds.

This doesn't seem to apply to coaches such as Self and Izzo

I bet it ****** off a ton of Iowa fans when they brought up Hoiberg. I just smiled and laughed.
