Seemingly never ending Iowa MBB thread (still going.....)

He was decent as long as he could get legacy recruits or guys from Iowa who are decent. After Jok leaves, they have next to nothing. It's going to be fun to watch the program go up in flames.

So up to this point he has been decent and you are hoping, praying and wishing for them to be terrible in the future?
 
First of all, he took over a dumpster fire and in his second year had them in the NIT and fourth, fifth and sixth year in the NCAA winning two games. He has also taken four different teams to the NCAA tourney.

So did Fred and look what he did. His 4th year he lost in the play in game and didn't make the NCAA tournament and he's never made it to the Sweet 16 ever and he's almost 60

Fred did an outstanding job, I only said Fran has been decent to good.
 
2 NCAA tournament appearances in 7 years is not even close to good but then again Iowa sucks this year and it's probably still Lickliters fault

To call Fran a terrible coach is an outright lie and fabrication of the truth.

I never said he was terrible. To say Fran has been a good coach at Iowa when he has 2 tournament appearances in 7 years is an outright lie and a fabrication of the truth. IMO he's the perfect fit at Iowa

Guess I wasn't talking to you, but to 1976 who said he was terrible. He has been decent to good at Iowa and everywhere he has been outside of Sienna where he was really good. Also, it is an outright lie to say he has had two tournament appearances at Iowa, but I've already pointed out to you how wrong you are about that before.

Iowa is terrible this year. They are towards the bottom of easily the worst power 5 conference in the country. And this is as good as it's going to get for a long time. Peter Jok won't be there to bail you out with 35 points next year.

Again, Marble, Uthoff, Woodbury, Gesell were decent players that made Iowa decent. As long as anyone but Lickliter was the coach, they were most likely all going to end up there anyway. So it's not like he's brought in a bunch of studs that most coaches with a heartbeat couldn't have brought in. He got lucky on White, I'll give him that. The next crop of Iowa boys are worse. You have no point guard, no guys who can get their own shot, and a bunch of big guys that are mediocre at best. Cook seems to have some talent, but he's dumb and doesn't rebound or play defense. There is 0 hope for the future and it's going to be delightful for me to watch.

Oh JFC dude, the Big 10 is bad no doubt, but you live in a bubble? The SEC is by far the worst power 5 conference every year and its not even close. Go look at RPI rankings, Big 10 is ahead of the SEC and Pac-12.

Some of you guys make the dumbest statements without even researching or actually think about what you post.

I think McCaffrey is a good coach but Iowa has no athletics culture outside football and wrestling and the AD is cool with that. So I think you will see more of the same.

Recruits and fans know it and recognize it.

When you lose in the play in game you don't get in the NCAA tournament, there isn't one fan outside of Iowa City that thinks that

Uhh, wow. Wut?

Todd Lickliter. I'm more focused on my actual job and responding in between working emails. I'm glad you get all worked up over inappropriate spelling and grammar. I guess I would try to change the subject if my favorite team was as bad as Iowa too.

I think Fran is really good at scouting and putting together a good game plan but as soon as things get off script he hasn't shown me much as far as in game adjustments go and those are extremely important. Obviously this year is different but over the last few years his teams have been notorious for really fast starts but once the other team adjusts things tended to even out.
