Does Fran get reprimand for blowing up at Dev, Eric?

[kmajhawk]

Serious question:

Fran was obviously put on a short leash by the B1G and Barta after last season's ejection from the UNI game and the chair-slam during the loss to Michigan. Fran was pictured a week or two ago appearing to kick the advertising sign at the scorer's table. Last night, when he nearly blew a gasket at Dev and Eric late in the game, Fran appeared to bump Dev with his chest. Certainly he was glaring at him within inches of the side of his face; he also got up close to Eric with his angry red face. A coach or player deliberately bumping an official is a serious technical violation and an ejection. In the post-Bob Knight era, do Barta or the conference come down on Fran for last night's incident?

LOL ...no.

Well done. Lets see if anyone bites.................

I dunno but the guy is seriously a raving lunatic. I think it is very laffy. I love poking fun at it. An adult acting like that regularly, good stuff.

Swing and a miss.

Mountain meet molehill....

The dichotomy between interview Fran and game Fran is very interesting indeed. Personally, I love it when he loses his mind as typically, it is mirroring my emotional state at the time as a result of his team's performances and game blowing propensities.

Ah, no.

I think Fran'll get fired before next season if he doesn't complete an intensive course of anger management therapy over teh summer.

Move along folks. Iowa cant afford the buyout.

 

[Scorpio79]

Oh no, a coach yelled at a player! That's NEVER happened. I love the Franimal.

I love what Fran's doing turning around the program...but he's a serious basket case...coaches really shouldn't act like that. However I get a kick out of it, usually gets me laffy.

But seriously, how long is it before he "Bob Kinight's" it and throws a chair onto the court, or hits a ref/player?? I am willing to bet we end up firing him for something related to behavior.

Maybe Marble's mom or May's mom can intervene and say that the coach is being mean to their boys, and he is hurting their sons' feelings and ruining their self-esteem. And then Fran can issue a public apology. And then they can all sit around and drink juice boxes and eat orange slices.

Being a raving psycho is not a way to get people to take you seriously.

 

[HawkeyeMHA]

He WILL be the first coach to stroke out during a game.

For sure, I mean let's not let him act like Bob Knight. He was an awful coach and never won any national championships.

Seriously laughing hard at this one.
