Fran's ego

Yep and he took over a program in better shape than Iowa was in when Fran was hried and Beilen had a losing record in his third season. It takes time to rebuild a program.

Yes and he made the NCAA tournament his second year, but then went 15-17 in his third season, NCAA tournament his fourth and fifth seasons and most likely a No. 1 seed this year, unless they fall apart.

I think Iowa is in a position to have a good NCAA qualifying years with Fran the way he is building the program. It is far easier to recruit at Michigan, sorry, but it just is. Not saying Iowa can't get talent, but a roster full of what Michigan has will take time.
 
Didn't Fran toss a chair or absolutely unleash on the team at some point last year? All the talking heads were pontificating on what a negative impact it could have on the players. Instead the opposite happened, for at least the next game and possibly next couple of games the team rallied and played quite well.

I don't have any issue with the benching. So far Fran has shown he has a good read on his team and how to manage them.
