Jay wright is the perfect example of what Fran isn’t. Sweet sixteen in year 4. Elite 8 year 5. Final 4 in year 8. He built and showed what he was capable of. Coaches will always have ups and downs, but he proved his ceiling early. Fran has too, but some people don’t want to see it and think a unicorn is coming.
Mr. Davis was let go to take Iowa to the next level. It was the wrong decision long term, but it does happen in sports. Fran is locked in for life because of Barta, and he has to get himself to a level he’s never been at just to get Iowa back to Mr. Davis’s level.
My frustration is with Fran’s coaching, my anger is with Barta taking hope away.
Totally agree. I hope Fran can prove me wrong, but I think the best he will ever do has already happened when he made 3 NCAA tournaments in a row and got to a #7 seed.
