McCaffery Out at Iowa

[Big Red Crimson Buffalo]

When I saw this headline…..I took a giant Brownell in my pants.
Mark it down: if Iowa gets McCollum, IU will be their bitch for as long as he’s there.

Well, we’ll already are. So, what am I saying……

Sources: Iowa set to dismiss coach McCaffery

Iowa's men's basketball program is set to dismiss head coach Fran McCaffery after 15 seasons, sources told ESPN on Friday.

So, he's available?

I can't blame McCaffrey for Iowa doing what Iowa does best- giving up 100 points to a Big Ten team. they've been doing that for decades. McCaffrey maybe ran out of steam after the emigration to Indianapolis by his family

They will......and they will get him too. McCollum would be Iowa's first choice, and they will court him that way. We at IU have to kick the tires on a free car.....and would approach him like he's the fifth or sixth option....thereby sufficiently insulting his intelligence. The guy can flat out coach. When IU has Brownell, and Iowa has McCollum, and the team's play....this board will be ammonia and bleach.....shaken, not stirred.

The only outlier to that, Coach K, because RMK had most wins at Army

Think we also thought Scott Drew, but I don't recall where/why.

I always wondered what a Francon level 0 was: a meltdown ejection to unemployment.

I thought that was a 10? I'm always getting confused on the Francon scale. Guess I don't have to worry about it now.

My comment was in regard to a comment that coach's had the most wins at a previous stop for that school have won almost all recent national championship games; the one exception--- is Coach K

He went out doing what he loved.

May we all be so lucky...

What? I'm so disappointed, that doesn't rate in the top 500 of Francon moments. He's lost his mojo. Wonder if that's why they decided to can him: "he's not even entertaining in his ejections anymore!"

Yes, I know. I was saying we also thought Scott Drew. He coached 1 season at Valpo before Baylor and had 20 wins, doubtful that was a record. Wonder about Steve Fischer too? Thinking he hadn't coached anywhere as a HC when he took over at UM.

my bad, and maybe their research was not as good as they thought.

Good news-maybe we dodged a bullet for once.

I looked at current coaches at elite programs to see the D2 head coaching background of their coaches-

Dan Hurley-never coached a game in D2
Bill Self-never coached a game in D2
Hubert Davis-never coached a game in D2
Jon Scheyer-never coached a game in D2
Tom Izzo-never coached a game in D2
Matt Painter-never coached a game in D2
Mick Cronin-never coached a game in D2
Mark Pope-never coached a game in D2
Mark Few-never coached a game in D2
Tommy Lloyd-never coached a game in D2
Rick Pitino-never coached a game in D2
Todd Golden-never coached a game in D2
Rick Barnes-never coached a game in D2

Just because
Bob Knight-never coached a game in D2

Sampson actually coached Montana Tech a couple seasons before going back to a D1 assistant at Washington State.

Bruce Pearl is an exception-good D2 record and successful in D1.
