how long before Barta is hung out

[PCHawk]

reread your post. u said that people are predicting, that means something that hasn't happened yet

You don't think the cart is getting put before the horse here?

we obviously lost each other

LOL ok

Barta needs to sack up, and defend FM. I mean, he hired the man, for cripes sake. And Fran has been a home run so far. Pretty pathetic by Barta.

thats the gist if Barta can't or won't stick up for Fran the big money donors will find somebody that will

Difference is Mac knows how to handle the media, and wouldn't do so. Its called professionalism, I'm pretty sure Barta read about it once or twice to get in the position he has.

I guess a coach with a pulse is a bit much for him to handle!

So let me get this straight, you guys are predicting that Fran is going to accumulate so much power and influence due to all the Big Ten Championships and NCAA Tournament runs that he'll eventually have more influence at the University than his boss?

And because of said influence, if Barta says anything publicly against Fran in the future that Fran is going to have the power to get him fired?

Is that the gist?

Clearly Barta has no choice but to immediately sabotage the Iowa BB program in order to save his job.

What else can he do? Fran is clearly on the precipice of multiple sweet 16 runs. He has to leverage his power in the small time window he has.

The cameras showed Barta sitting right behind the bench last night. I do not attend many Iowa road games, is this typical? Or was he following through on that letter from Delany to ensure the coach kept his cool?

Did you see Fran's leash in his hand.

Wow, Barta must really be scared!

i was going to ask this myself, as i don't recall him sitting behind the bench before
and the last thing we need is Barta grabbing Fran's coat tails and making him sit down like Alford's dad did on numerous occasions
