Villanova looks like Wooden's UCLA teams.
-----Fran was able to get what he could at the time. In fairness the next batch is where he should be judged.
Next batch? You do realize that he has been at Iowa for six (6) seasons, right?
4 seniors, 1 junior starting lineup
Two 4* recruits & three 3/4* recruits in starting lineup.
2 starters average near 20 pts a game.
And... this is the result?
This is a result of **** poor coaching, folks.
Villanova looks like Wooden's UCLA teams.
Fully realize but where would you classify the Iowa program after the Alford and Lick years? Great shape? How would you recruit to a school that was in complete free fall?
Fire Fran, that is the answer these days. Everybody needs instant gratification. I'm not happy with the end of season meltdowns and tournament collapses either but he has had us in the post season the last 4 years...after how many seasons with nothing. Careful what you ask for.
Any of you apologists wanna try and make lemonade out of this? Let me guess here are the common quotes from many of the apologists:
"At least they made it..."
"It's been a good year anyway....."
All slogans from losers.
At least all prior coaches had the excuse of not having practice facilities. Fran doesn't have that....
