I am likely as frustrated as you are by the shape of the program. Yes. Fran is responsible for all aspects of the Iowa basketball program. He must be held accountable. I bought my season ticket again this year, which I began to do when Alfraud was still the coach. Sat through Lick. Some early hope with Fran. But, I am a realist. Fran will be evaluated at the end of the year. My educated guess is that he will be retained, with a strong message about his future. Given the buyout; given that he has some 4* recruits on the team now and a couple more to come, my guess, again, is that he will be given more rope. Like it or not, right or wrong, regardless of Barta's abilities, I have lived enough years to understand how the world works. Catch up, grasshopper.
