I had no intentions of my post sounding snarky. I was just curious as to what your thoughts were - "if you don't like something how would you change it" scenario. I actually agree with your 2nd post. Mix it up based on mathups. With Gabe in, I'd probably try and trap more. White and Uthoff...

How do you suggest they guard that high ball screen? These are some options. 1. Trap - IA has done this a few times especially late in games 2. Switch - 2 bad matchups now when its a big-little ball screen 3. Jam it - so the guard goes underneath the screen. leaves jump shooters wide open 4...

Don't a lot of former Hawks that are in the NFL come back to IC to work out with him?

I dont think the Hayes one was intentional. He is sticking his hand up as Hayes is making a basketball move. I just laugh at the 2nd one. Why was he petting him on top of the head? I dont get that move at all. He hit him in the eye with his ring finger. who pokes someone else with a ring...

Happy with the win, but this has been on my mind for awhile. I think Fran needs to turn over the subbing of players to an assistant coach. Just worry about the play on the floor and let an assistant do the subbing. For the most part Fran subs for 2 reasons, fouls and making mistakes...

Kaminski will be a tough matchup for Woody. With that said, just watch him play once. Don't focus on the ball, but just watch him. He does so many things well. Adam is constantly talking, moving, banging bodies. Yes, he makes mistake. He is not a scorer and never will be, but he brings...

agreed, AND we should never, ever set a ball screen for him

we did go zone and they hit consecutive 3's. the only trapping we did was on ball screens.

Sticking Dickerson in at that point would be difficult with him sitting so long. I am not a fan of guarding the inbounder when he can run the baseline. if he cant move then yes, guard it. Plus with3.7 seconds left, dribbling the court was an option. If you are at under 2 seconds then we are...

I anticipate you throwing up. I have heard from multiple players that barring injury Brandon Snyder will be a 4 year starter for IA. Many of them felt he could/should have started this year. Brandon Scherff has said that Brandon Snyder is the hardest working kid on the team. He is going...

He's right. Dont get too high when things are going well and dont get too low when things are not coming easy. For IA the latter has been more of a problem. When things are going down hill, they go down right with it.

Not saying that i disagree with you in the least, but look at the personalities on the team. Uthoff, White, Sapp, Ogelsby, don't even crack a smile. Gessell shows limited emotion. Woody has some fight, Gabe has a big smile. IA has too many similar personalities on this team. I agree that a...

The teenagers quote is spot on. Buddies of mine and i switch roles all the time. I tell his daughter what he wants and he tells my daughter what i want (sports related). Granted JO is a different story. Sometimes a different voice is what is needed

I have been on the CJ band wagon for a long time. I think the NW game sealed the deal that Kirk was going with JR the rest of the season. Going into NW, i was told that CJ was going to play a ton. Lots of different packages for him. Well, JR played like a world beater that day. I was not...

We will never know the whole story on this as Kirk will not share it. Look at many of the others that have left the team and he takes the high road every time. If you think this is all about Willies dad being sick, then you are missing big parts of the story. i am curious if Kirk brought this...

Now the people that work there tails off every day, are coachable, do everything the coach asks of them, show up on time every day are a@@ kissers? The things i mentioned above, i know for a fact that Willies didnt do each and every day.

We have been waiting for him to consistently hit shots for 4 years now. He is a spot up shooter only. He cant create his own shot. he cant create coming off of a screen. Great shooters can square their shoulders in the air and knock it down, Josh cant. he has to have his feet under him. I...

I really struggle with posts like this. So, because you are upset with Coach Ferentz, i cant go and support the players who have busted their tales this year? I see.

I don't want him to go, but I am not as strong in that feeling as i was in the past. I look at the big picture of Iowa football and what he has done for it. Over the past 16 years, he has raised our expectations (which is great) to another level. The stadium is at its capacity nearly every...

We do, it's Brandon Snyder from Larchwood, IA. He is going to be the next great safety at IA. Just mark my words. The coaches are raving about him. Student of the game and works his tail off. Last i heard, he has been scout team player of the week 10 times. he has won it on Offense...
