The white dude hated it and gave Fran a F. The Blac dude loved it and gave him a B
I think your numbers might be slightly off, but I agree that it probably isn't something the majority of viewers will talk about... ever.
The only people I could see caring about this is:
-Iowa fans.
-Rivals
-Recruits
But I don't think it will have any sort of negative effect on recruits. Many coaches have worse "outbursts" than Fran and it doesn't affect their recruiting.
I personally would rather play for someone like Fran than someone who shows no emotion and doesn't get fired up when his team is getting embarrassed.
As a player I would have been just as fired up as the coach at that point... but then again... I'm not and never will play D1 sports.

The oddest thing of all was the completely blank looks on the faces of the players
Not even a, "Look out, the crazy ************ has a chair"!

Oh, they knew they were sucking they just couldn't figure out how to stop it even though FM had told them what he wanted to try. So he flipped a little.
They aren't surprised by him because they trust him and they know he was right.

Is there video of the chair incident? Thanks!

Wilbon WAS awarded the win on the segment, FWIW, so it can be said that Reali implicitly agreed.

Agree. If Fran can't get it turned around, then we might as well shut the program down or start paying recruits under the table. He's been a good recruiter so far, he's coached his first two inferior teams to play with and sometimes beat some great teams, and he's a really likable guy with the fans and media. If he can't do it, it probably isn't going to happen for a LONG time.
[For those who will inevitably take it literally, my statement about folding the program or cheating was an exaggeration. I don't REALLY think we should ever do either. Thank you.]

Is Fran related to Rhoads?
Yes......... I have noticed that the shape of the ball is different as well...........
Yup exactly what I was getting at. I think basketball is played on wood as well

There is a winning idea I can endorse...if you ain't cheating you ain't trying as they say in the SEC.
