I've lived in Seattle for a few years and have casually followed the Huskies. In that time I've become a fan of Romar and the style in which his team plays.
I think it is exactly the style that Fran is trying to implement at Iowa. Long, athletic players who get out and run, run, run. The players aren't micro-managed in half court sets; instead they're coached to be aggressive and to attack the rim and then let loose. They hit the boards hard, too. Basabe fits this mold exactly. The players seem to enjoy the style, and Romar employs a deep bench.
I think we saw flashes of this style with Iowa in the past month. It reminds me of the Big Ten in the '80s. I can't wait until Iowa is able to push the Wisconsins and Michigan States out of their comfort zone by getting up and down the court faster with more athletic players.
