    Predicted transfers in the next few months

    I did see him play. I saw him sprinting up and down the court, even after he got a contested rebound. I saw him take the ball out of bounds after a make and beat his man down the floor. I saw him battle on the boards hard. He didn't make the shots but did get several shots off of offensive...

    Indiana bringing in a 63 year old assistant coach from the NBA as next head coach

    That may be. However, Horner was suspended from Truman's team just after being named the conference coach of the year and before their conference tournament. Also, has anyone heard is he still cancer-free? That would be a consideration for any team looking to hire him.

    Iowa Extends Contract of Fran McCaffery

    The one huge factor in favor of Mr. Davis was the style of play he coached. It was so radically different than anything else at that time that it was difficult for opposing coaches to scheme against. The full court press / mass substitution style was in its infancy then. It could make good players...

    After sleeping on it what did we accomplish?

    It was done just before the NCAA tournament began (just like Fran's this year) and the previous year they had lost in the first round (with Megan Gustafson as the team leader); the year before that they were in the NIT. So at that point, one could say she didn't know how to get past the first round.

    Wiescamp staying or leaving?

    For the most part, I'll agree with that about his high school team. More than a few times I saw his HS teammates try to catch a pass from him against their chest. Ugh. But in the end, his HS team made the state tournament his senior year so the supporting cast wasn't completely terrible.

    Wiescamp staying or leaving?

    I agree with this. He hasn't said anything to his dad about it.

    Wiescamp staying or leaving?

    It's Makenzie Meyer. She's enrolled in the UI College of Dentistry.

    After sleeping on it what did we accomplish?

    (Shakes head) You do realize that in 2019 Barta extended the contract of Lisa Bluder to 2025, right?

    Cj

    The rumors were that he had plantar fasciitis. The only real treatment for that is to not use the foot at all for at least a month. That includes walking. Yeah, he's young and he did play through it. I had it about 20 years ago and rest was the only thing that treated it.

    Perception and reality

    I don't know how you know this. His dad doesn't know.

    Perception and reality

    Wait a sec... you mean Fran is telling kids they need to wait in line to get playing time? So JoeW didn't start when he was a freshman? Or Luka? Or JBo? Or Tyler Cook? Or Aaron White? Or Mike Gessel? Or Adam Woodbury?.... the list goes on and on.

    Garza was a generational find, but the secret formula is athletic guards that can shoot

    You don't really follow the Iowa women, do you? She currently is under contract until 2025. She has bonuses for each level of the tournament she achieves. Here's a tweet from Dochterman from 2019: https://twitter.com/scottdochterman/status/1105486718768201728?lang=en

    Fran sucked but don't blame it all on him.

    Seriously? You think the only reason Mr. Davis was fired was a loss in the Sweet 16? While he was a good coach, there was a laundry list of things that got him fired.

    So What is your Expectation for Iowa Basketball?

    If Illinois had: 1) Got the ball to Kofi more to get the Loyola big guy in foul trouble. 2) Ayo had been more of a distributor instead of believing the hype about himself and not tossed up a lot of bad shots. 3) Their guards had stopped the incessant dribble-dribble-dribble and instead passed...

    If Bohannon makes 3 three's...

    By pointing out that a 6'6" guy with quickness can guard Jordan close enough so that he can't get a shot off? By once again pointing out what has been hashed and rehashed on this board for 5 years?

    If Bohannon makes 3 three's...

    He could hang on offense. He did a great job there. But it was our defense, or lack thereof, that hurt us the most.

    If Bohannon makes 3 three's...

    We have basically 3 guys on our roster that could play with the Ducks. JoeW, Keegan and TonyP; and JoeW is the only one with the experience to play at that level for the entire game. Keegan and TonyP will get there but just weren't ready today, as is the case with most freshmen that Iowa can...

    If Bohannon makes 3 three's...

    Whoever JBo guarded could easily shoot over him. EASILY. Even when I was playing Y-ball at 50+, I could shoot shoot over guys 6" shorter than me.

    Drake/ Wichita St.

    Terry Youngbauer was the basketball coach here at Muscatine when my son went to HS here. He coached for quite a few years here and still lives in the area. Nice guy. He was the assistant coach when Joe W's dad played HS ball here.
