    Iowa Extends Contract of Fran McCaffery

    While a coach might want to keep an impact player on the floor past his "foul out", it could be a terrible decision to do so.

    Iowa Extends Contract of Fran McCaffery

    Depends upon the buyout clause. TJ obviously had a buyout clause reported to be between $3-$4.5M. It's easy enough to find out what his salary is... this past year was $1.2M. Over the next three years, what his 5-year deal was, he would have made $1.3M next year, $1.4M the following year and...

    Iowa Extends Contract of Fran McCaffery

    As far as rule changes, I'd like to see the rule that the ABA used about fouls. A player couldn't foul out. But, when his number of fouls exceeded the "normal" foul out number (in the ABA, it was 6 fouls) then the player got his free throws with no one on the lane and then the player's team got...

    Iowa Extends Contract of Fran McCaffery

    There are so many on here with very short memories. Mr. Davis was a very good bench coach and a so-so recruiter. And he inherited a TON of NBA talent who played two seasons for him. HaydenHawk56 has stated he made an Elite 8 and two Sweet 16's - essentially he used Raveling's recruits to get to...

    Iowa Extends Contract of Fran McCaffery

    Yes, Frank coached up his son so he would be the best player he could be. What about the other players? I'm not saying Luka isn't a great Hawkeye, but I am saying that he couldn't be the player he is without his teammates. I've seen teams that had a fantastic individual player that never fed him...

    Funny matchup

    The best mispronunciation by an announcer is when Billy Cunningham was announcing the NCAA tournament game between "Oklahomer and Villanover" in 1988. At least he consistently mispronounced them!

    Iowa getting hosed in this game

    I said to my wife that Iowa has better basketball players but Illinois has better athletes. The way today's game was called, while consistent, favored the athletes.

    The wife and I were driving home a different route from my brother's place in Boulder and decided to go north. Went on a US highway, not sure which one. For about an hour the ONLY sign of human habitation were the fences on either side of the road - no houses, no towns, no other cars... just the...

    You mean someone like David Greene (Gabe Kaplan's character in the movie Fast Break) who brings in a run and gun style of basketball and is paid $60 per win?

    While I don't make less of your sprained ankle, a track meet is entirely different than a basketball game. Track meets do not involve lateral quickness which greatly stress ankles and knees.

    It does mean one thing.... if he had a fracture they wouldn't let him put ANY weight on it. They have all the med tech there to take xrays. Since he has a boot we can assume it's not a fracture.

    ISU coach loses his mind - a breakdown

    They can jump all they want as long as they don't make contact with an offensive player or if the center doesn't snap the ball. And that's exactly what happened.

    Is the goal post moving again for NCAA tourney expectations?

    But who would we get to have on the poster a la Margaret Whitton?

    Initial thoughts on Michigan Beatdown of Iowa

    Korver is a 3-pt specialist now, but his college stats indicate that JoeW is every bit as good if not better than Kyle. Korver's Junior season he was 42.9% from 3-pt land (with a closer 3-pt line then). JoeW currently sits at 48.8%. In fact, comparing junior seasons Joe is better in every...

    A Radical Idea Leading to a 32 team Playoff

    Isn't it strange that FBS football can't seem to do a 16 team playoff? How can FCS have 24 teams in a playoff? In 2019 (the last year they had one) the champion had a record of 16-0, with a regular season record of 12-0. How can Division II have 28 teams in a playoff? In 2019, the Division II...
