Sure we don't have a good athletic PG. Bohanon is a great shooter but not a point guard that can penetrate and make things happen. Clearly we have big deficiencies at all positions when it comes to athletic ability, but the biggest deficiency starts with the head coach.
For you younger posters out there I would like you to look up the tenure of Ralph Miller at Iowa. In the mid 60s he had a team of very limited talent and a 6'3" forward by the name of Sam Williams. The guy led the Big Ten in scoring and I think rebounding and we tied Ohio State for the championship scoring about 65 points a game! In 69-70 (my freshman year at Iowa for those of you wondering how old I am) we had a 6 man team with John Johnson Fred Brown Chad Calabria Glen Vidnovic and went 14-0 in the Big Ten averaging over 100 points per game! If Jacksonville wouldn't have tipped in a 60 foot shot at the buzzer we might have won it all
My point is Miller coached to the talent and makeup of his team. He won going slowdown and he won going fast (and that was before the 3 point shot!) McCaffrey I thought was a run and gun coach but he hasn't recruited to that style and hasn't shown the ability to adjust to what talent he has.
