It's not right or wrong, just different- Ferentz tends toward "You've paid your dues and now you are the starter" while Fran seems more "Here's who we need to play today for this situation; don't worry, you will get the minutes you deserve or at least that we need." That said, this summer's...

Assists/Basket is not a collected statistic but several have referred to it including Coach McCaffery on occasion. I made a chart based on the B1G and NCAA sites. For NCAA teams, I selected the top ten in season's assists/game. BIG TEN CONFERENCE Official Athletic Site - Men's...

Let's revisit the prediction of minutes played: Here are the current stats as of February 17, 2013 from http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/iowa/sports/m-baskbl/auto_pdf/2012-13/stats/season_stats.pdf Gesell 27, Clemmons 18 Marble 30, Oglesby 16 White 28, McCabe 16, Basabe 18, May...

Don't forget the MillerSix pack of 1970 with three in the 1000 point club plus Kunnert as as freshman before they were eligible. #24 John Johnson 1172 #25 Chad Calabria 1168 #32. Fred Brown 1091 Ben McGilmer Glenn Vidnovic Dick Jensen #26. Kunnert 1145 (freshman)

Below is the correspondence I had with the poet. I read the poem in the Des Moines Register in the days following Street's death.

Remind me when we last had a seven foot true freshman who showed Woodbury's skills (not just flashes)? Maybe Michael Payne in 1981-2.

For $5 you can watch the Iowa women take on North Carolina in the championship of the women's WNIT preseason tournament right here in Iowa City this Sunday. Why aren't you going? The semifinal game tonight was a great game. Although it was low scoring, it was fast paced and exciting. We were up...

The people who sit next to us bought a parking pass for the south Dental Lot for home games. When they arrived for Sunday's women's game, they weren't allowed to park there. That's one example of why I think there needs to be more communication than just "Take Cambus."

I would soooo appreciate accurate parking and bus information for the all winter sports, particularly men's and women's basketball games. I don't want to get to games and find out that the dental lot (nearly empty) is closed for this game. I don't want to try to decipher online bus schedules. I...

This is from the 2010 UI Men's BB Media Guide that I had on my computer. Caption: Front (l to r): Sandy Blom, Ken Burmeister, Jim Rosborough, Lute Olson, Tony McAndrews, Wade Jones. Middle (l to r): K. Kevin Boyle, Mark Gannon, Mike Henry, Steve Waite, Steve Krafcisin, Mike Heller, Vince...

Here is Fran as quoted from the B1G media day. Please explain how this fits with "100% Crap" statement. http://www.hawkeyenation.com/forum/basketball/51883-fran-mccaffery-big-ten-media-day-quotes.html FRAN McCAFFERY: I am very excited about our team and our potential and I think we have to...

I agree on Duffman's Day 1 lineup, but I wouldn't bet the house on it. I will trust Fran's judgement. I told my (much more knowledgeable) neighbor at the blowout that Woodbury would start day 1. That was before the scrimmage. It is certainly a complex decision including who has the greater...

It was a great night. I was struck by the depth of the men's team. I kept noticing people who will demand court time, but for each one, I was wondering how he will find it on this team. Court time will have to come as the result of hard work, talent, skill, and smarts. I think that it will be a...

I see Carver Hawkeye floor being a big corn maze... with real corn!

There have been several articles and books about jazz bands and the business concept of leadership (bear with me). Here are quotes from a review of one of the articles that suggests three different kind of leaders. It seems like BigD is suggesting that Fran is more like Miles Davis than...

At Siena 2009-10 (Fran's Fifth year) 9 players in double figure minutes 4 with more than 30 minutes/game 1 with more than 20 minutes 3 with more than 10 minutes next player had less than 6 minutes/ game The previous two years at Siena were similar, although the 2009-10 brought four...

I meant it as neither trollish nor serious. [To me a troll tries to make incendiary comments to rile things up.] I guess I meant it as serious in a way. I could've said: I apologize to all on this board who took my initial post literally. From now on I will insert a warning before posts with...

I was still trying to get my tongue out of my cheek after my original post when I saw the responses here.

I will admit that, although I love basketball, I don't know that much about it, but it seems to me that part of Olesani's slow development is his comparative late intro to the game. That would explain his bad form in this photo. We all learned in elementary school that you start shooting down by...
