Poll: Connor McCaffery Mr. Basketball Snub

[HawkGold]

I read the tweets. Wow can you say pathetic? Apparently the mccaffreys weren't taught how to lose with grace or not say anything if you have nothing good to say. If roles were reversed and Joe said these things the majority of people on this board would crucify him.

Maybe you missed this? http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/09/sports/ncaabasketball/09maac.html

Margaret McCaffery first made headlines in 2006 when she and her husband were ejected from a game at Hofstra. After Fran McCaffery was tossed for what he said was the first time in his career, his wife was ejected later in the game after a tirade at officials that included profanity. She was escorted from the arena by a security guard.

After the loss to Loyola, Margaret McCaffery told reporters in colorful terms that she felt Siena had been victimized by the officials. Perhaps worse, considering the delicate relationships between college coaches and referees, she said, “Will Bush is a horrendous official.”

This could be more entertaining than the Licks.

Meh...Everyone wants kids with confidence and attitude on the court, but then you scorn them for going too far off of it. Most of the all time basketball greats were relentless shit talkers. The "killer instinct" in a basketball player usually coincides with a demonstrative personality. Get back to me if they do something worse then talking shit online since 90% of hawkeyenation posters are guilty of the very same thing.

This has nothing to do with confidence.

I'd still like to have my earlier question answered. Where was the outcry when everyone on this site was bashing Eno Benjamin? Was he not just a high school kid spouting off on twitter also?

I never been bashed Eno. Don't care what you post on social media as long as it's legal.

I'm a little surprised that Fran has let this poor sportsmanship go on so long.

Bruce Lee and Donald Trump are talkin shit in that twitter feed. If he's as badass as those two I see deep runs in the big dance.

Maybe in your world.

I have to agree with this. What comes to mind for me is the Tim McGraw song .. "Humble and Kind". The biggest thing I try to impart on my kids is to be coachable and be humble. The platitudes will come if deserved.

GO HAWKS!!!

Great song not followed by many these days....

Yes he is that good and yes Iowa would have recruited him. Come back in four years and we'll discuss it then.

<<Yes he is that good and yes Iowa would have recruited him>>

How did Upper Iowa manage to get him?

I'd rather have a dude like Connor who talks tough and backs it up on the court than someone who just talks and doesn't really do anything. We have enough of those kinds of guys in the wrestling program.
