***2024-2025 Iowa Men’s Basketball Season Thread***

Is there any danger of the university trying to put their paws all over this with a stupid hiring committee, or will Beth tell them to eat shit?

Oh Kyle Bowlsby hands will be all over this!!!

 

[AZmessDAWG]

That’s hot.

I mean there will be some sort of retardedness but to what degree is yet to be seen.

Good Lord he’s going to recommend Alford isn’t he?

 

[Uli Kunkel]

I don't think they've done the committee thing in quite some time. Granted, no head coaches have left Iowa in quite some time either.

Bluder left under a year ago

 

[Uli Kunkel]

*men's head coaches. But they didn't use a search committee!

Well duh, did you think they would let someone from the department of men’s studies help select a women’s coach?

 

[douglasbader]

There is no more search committee bullshit. It's not a thing that exists in 2025.

HaLo man needs a search committee in 2025 to find his penus

 

[Fletch]

HaLo man needs a search committee in 2025 to find his penus

@Geese says that he’s a one man committee.

 

[hawkeyealum]

Is Fran gone yet?

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Is Fran gone yet?

Not sure.

 

[hawkeyealum]

I read here news was going to start leaking today. I feel misinformed

 

[rodg12]

Izzo doing the The Criminal thing again...

 

[JMoe]

Is Fran gone yet?

Fran threw the coldest of water on all of this today and said he's not going anywhere and fully committed and excited about his incoming classes.

Beth is going to give him another year.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Fuuuuuuuuuu

 

[26.2]

As I have said multiple times, he's back next year.

 

[hawkeyealum]

Gross

Until it becomes officially official, officially, that McCaffery is being retained, I am holding out hope BDB kicks his ass to the curb.

(even if they call it a buyout or some form of retirement)

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Yes, the valued vote of confidence that every coach loves to hear.

 

[The Dad]

 

[Dr. Zaius]

 

[Fletch]

 

[douglasbader]

I wonder if he ever goes to practice and says "it's pretty fucked up they pay me $3m per year and my players can't play run a simple 2-3 zone" and thinks about hiring someone that can.

 

[Hawkstrat]

None of this is newsworthy. If Iowa wants to fire him, they'll have to fire him. The idea that he would just happen to go away at the exact moment Iowa wanted him to, was always hopium.

 

[Fletch]

Do it, Beth.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

If Beth doesn’t fire him this year, then she needs to go too

Who cares enough about Iowa men's basketball to send a death threat?

 

[douglasbader]

Who cares enough about Iowa men's basketball to send a death threat?

Lol, that was my first thought and what an idiot for even saying this shit at a press conference.

 

[Verbal]

If he really did get death threats (he didn't), the list of suspects who care enough at this point is pretty short.

*scooped.

 

[Fletch]

Plot twist: It was L Wade.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Who cares enough about Iowa men's basketball to send a death threat?

Gamblers

 

[iowa4ever20]

Perhaps this is why chat is no longer available for games?

 

[Fletch]

Perhaps this is why chat is no longer available for games?

Because nobody gives a shit? Yes, that’s correct.

 

[Geese]

Just want to be a kid playing a game!!

Oh and get paid for that as well

 

[Geese]

Has Payton received nil money? Or is he playing for the love of the game?

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

I had the same first reaction that nobody gives enough of a flying fuck to send death threats to Sandfort or anyone else on Iowa’s team.

 

[Hawkmi]

Texts were linked to an anesthesiologist's burner phone.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

I’m sure he has, players everywhere get them. Usually through Twitter/IG DM’s from burners. Sometimes from fans but a fair amount from randoms anywhere pissed that they lost a bet.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

The only thing Fran’s statement today really changed is the idea that they might announce a retirement before the end of the season.

I’ve hoped he would retire and suppose they still could mutually decide to part ways with a reduced buyout.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

The only thing that would have made that exchange better is if he told the fanbase to suck a fat one

 

[Geese]

Whatever it takes to get him tfo

 

[maxinquaye]

Its a bad marriage. Everybody will be happier when its over.

 

[Uli Kunkel]

A)Fuck Izzo

B)Fuck Beth if Fran is back next year

C)I don't have a problem with Fran's statement nor would hold anything against him if he takes this approach. He is under no obligation to leave for less than what his contract stipulates. Would any of us? It's not his fault Gary was a retard.

 

[douglasbader]

Exactly, which is why it's always stupid to bring them up in a press conference as a woe is me give me attention move.

The only thing that happens is headlines that other players and people outside the program read thinking Iowa fans are threatening to kill their players when the reality it's likely just random asshole burners.

 

[Hawk24]

Yikes. If you think the fanbase is apathetic this year….
