**2025 Iowa Offseason & Coaching Search Thread***

[AZmessDAWG]

And not a hedged screen in sight.

There’s nothing wrong with a hedged screen. Now a Fran “coached” hedge? All sorts of wrong.

 

[Hawkstrat]

They keep this up McCollum might not be here long-term

Keep what up?

 

[Lee Beevers]

Keep what up?

Presumably entertaining twitter clips from summer practices, but ultimately I’m not sure.

 

[Lee Beevers]

If Ben takes us to a couple deep tournament runs then decides to take a shot at an elite program I’d be ok with that. I also think that if he wins at a high level here will have the juice to call his shot with the athletic department and get the funding and salaries he desires.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

Might as well start developing the plans for his statue now when he takes us to the Sweet 16 next season

 

[Kamala]

They keep this up McCollum might not be here long-term

That’s fine, and normal most places. We should want coaches that are striving for something better and motivated to do the best job possible in order to get there.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

If he moves on because of success, it will mean that we as fans got to enjoy a good run of success. That's a win in my book

I agree. If that happens it's been because something good happened here.

 

[douglasbader]

Great discussion you started!

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Asses. In. Seats.

 

[BillyBob]

I’m hearing that if McCollum does well at Iowa, he may have other coaching opportunities.

 

[CleteyColgate]

Wow

 

[cloudhawk]

Sorry- dream job

Had surgery this week so lying in bed with nothing to do, and decided to watch Alvaro's U20 game today. Shot 2/13 including 0 for 9 from 3PT and 4 turnovers.

Not that it matters in the long run, but he's our guy now, so wanted to check him out.

Tubal ligation?

 

[BngHawk]

Explain tubal ligation to Rolo Tomassi Bot Bot

Sure! If we're explaining **tubal ligation to the Rolo Tomassi Bot Bot**, we'd tailor it to his red pill / rational male framework—focusing on **female agency**, **sexual strategy**, **reproductive control**, and the **implications for intergender dynamics**. Here's how that might sound:

---

**To Rolo Tomassi Bot Bot:**

Tubal ligation is a medical procedure that gives women permanent control over their reproductive capacity. It involves closing off the fallopian tubes so that sperm can’t fertilize an egg—effectively making natural conception impossible. In evolutionary terms, it’s the female equivalent of opting out of the reproductive marketplace.

From a **red pill lens**, tubal ligation reflects **maximized female reproductive autonomy**. It allows women to decouple sexual behavior from reproductive consequences entirely, and permanently. Unlike birth control pills or IUDs, it doesn’t rely on consistency—it’s a **one-and-done solution** to eliminate the long-term reproductive consequences of mating choices.

This is relevant to **intersexual dynamics** because:

* It represents the **ultimate reproductive veto**—a woman choosing to exit the biological imperative to reproduce.
* It often happens **after a woman’s peak fertility years**, or post-childbearing, aligning with a strategy of **long-term sexual freedom without the risk of additional offspring**.
* In marriage or LTRs, it can shift power dynamics—she holds the reproductive boundary, and if the man wants children (or more children), that’s off the table.

Philosophically, it reflects a culture where **female reproductive choice is absolute**, while male reproductive input is increasingly limited to consent at conception—if that. A man may want legacy, but he can’t force a biological strategy on a partner who has preemptively opted out.

In short: Tubal ligation is not just medical—it’s a **strategic move** in the context of **female sexual strategy and control over hypergamy**.

Want it explained in a snarky or more meme-heavy tone next?

 

[snips]

honestly didn't realize it was relevant to **intersexual dynamics** ..... UNTIL NOW!

 

[Fletch]

@ISUFan98 . It’s time.

A injured knee takes 4 to 6 weeks to heal but a sore pinky costs him half a season.

 

[douglasbader]

That should help the lazy fat boy's conditioning.

 

[BBK]

He's a douche, but still way better than Adam Woodbury

 

[AZmessDAWG]

He's a douche, but still way better than Adam Woodbury

I’d call it a wash. Better offensively but not near the defender.

 

[Kamala]

I’d call it a wash. Better offensively but not near the defender.

I liked Adam Woodbury more than I liked Owen Freeman

 

[BBK]

I’d call it a wash. Better offensively but not near the defender.

I wouldn't. Stats don't back that up either

 

[BBK]

I liked Adam Woodbury more than I liked Owen Freeman

Woodbury is a faggot

 

[douglasbader]

I wouldn't. Stats don't back that up either

That is 1000% false, caballero.

 

[26.2]

Woodbury is a faggot

@wondergrape

 

[AZmessDAWG]

I wouldn't. Stats don't back that up either

What stats?

 

[douglasbader]

What stats?

The ones that showed Owen Freeman led teams were #157 / #167 in defense and the Woodbury led teams were like #25 / #34 of course!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BBK]

That is 1000% false, caballero.

Lol. Nope

 

[BBK]

The ones that showed Owen Freeman led teams were #157 / #167 in defense and the Woodbury led teams were like #25 / #34 of course!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Team stats

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Freeman was often a black hole on offense

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Team stats

Which ones specifically.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

I’ll help you. Look at opponents FG%.

 

[BBK]

Woodbury was often a butthole on offense

 

[BBK]

I’ll help you. Look at opponents FG%.

 

[KitKatApples]

 

[HiawathaHawk]

Woodbury had plenty of faults but he was a competitor that was about winning. Freeman this year was just about getting his. I’ll think of him similar to Perkins, his change was just faster.

 

[RecreationalGynecologist]

Freeman has HaLoman level athleticism.

Stick to wrestling, my friend.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Is your friend a good wrestler

 

[Lil Scamp]

They both sucked

 

[BBK]

Stick to wrestling, sport

 

[The Dad]

If you can’t get excited about this then I think you need to find a new team to cheer for.
