Ohhh, So that’s why you’re not coaching anymore.He wouldn't be the first coach to prize process over wins. But in this case I agree.

I saw the same thing, not ready to play this game, no urgency, lack of hustle. NO CONFIDENCE in their shooting, defense, or anything. Garza was completely lost on defense at times running to the top of the key then running back as someone scores a layup. Why not leave the 7 footer by the basket? To Garza's defense, he got no help on defense from the guard court. This game made me feel like a fool for believing in this team.
"Exciting offensive play."
It is painful, mind-dulling...how bad Iowa looks most of the time, on both ends of the court.
What style of basketball I want is the winning type. Sure, I'd rather be uptempo if I had a choice, but it really doesn't matter to me if we lose 100-98 or 52-50. Ditto for winning.
Losing is losing and it sucks no matter how you slice it. Guess I'm a bottom line kind of guy.
They are not heartless.Just start with Desire and Toughness Again.Not that difficult.Osu good start no?Analysis:
No marginally athletic PG options
Terrible individual fundamentals: boxing out, pick and roll (the correct way), give and go, helping out on defense, FT shooting, jump shooting...
Hideous team fundamentals
Terrible in game coaching
Lots of average players, about the same size, same foot speed
Heartless players
Heartless coaches
There you have it...
I laughed listening to the radio for Dolph and Bobby saying the Hawks were needing to foul with 3 minutes to play but Fran told them not to until it got down to 7-8 with 30 seconds to go.
Did he want to get the game over? They were both shocked the fouling didn’t start earlier.

I like Fran but his defensive coaching is poor at best. This is not a 2017-2018 team problem, this is a program problem that has been going on for years and primary reason why Iowa has made it out of the 2nd round of the NCAA tournament once since GR's recruits left. I'll give Davis some credit, he ran full court pressure that at least created turnovers. With Fran's defense, if the other team doesn't miss wide open shots, Iowa is in trouble.
