The 4a field was probably the weakest I've ever seen. Valley had one returning starter from last year and their guards were below average at best and still made it to the State title game.
Cuz the refs totally hosed Des Moines North in their opening game...

They only have their coach to blame. He often plays a shitty, slowdown style that suppressed Connor's numbers and annoys everyone watching. They were attempting 1-2 minute possessions for the entire 4th quarter on Saturday.

The McCaffery brothers really should stfu. Being whiney little bitches on twitter isn't a good look.

Is there talk of instituting a shot lock of any sort?

Expense and the need for a shot clock operator is a problem for smaller schools. I don't know if the IAHSAA is seriously looking at it, but they should at least do it for 4A and possibly 3A.

Most refs are already over matched. Giving them one more thing to be concerned won't help

Maybe do the shot clock for substate and state. It can be absolutely brutal to watch these teams stall for quarters at a time.

My Mom always liked my brother best, and I didn't have a brother.

By a quick count it looks like he's just the 4th Mr Basketball to not play D1 basketball in the 36 year history of the award. One went to SW Missouri St, one to Northwestern College, and one played baseball at Kentucky.

This made me laugh.....

I figured he would be selling brick insurance for the Travelers.

I went to one of his games at West when he was a senior and I was in junior high. West was up by something like 18 on Cedar Rapids Washington and ended up losing. Worley traveled at least 6 times in the game and it was the exact same way he always did in college when he would try to drive from the 3 point line.

Can't remember if he fouled out though.

SW Missouri St is D1. Its the old name of Missouri St.
My bad. Sorry Steve Alford and @Mo T

So, Smoldt is just the 2nd Iowa Mr Basketball in 36 years to play basketball in college at a nonD1 school. And the other was a NW Iowa Dutch kid that went to Northwestern so doesn't really count.

I don't think you counted right again.

Throw out the SWMoSt kid and the one that picked baseball and we're down to two. Or did I miss another?

It would be the most Iowa thing ever to get Connor but not Patrick.
