It was completely over for me when him and large Marge's behavior at precious Patrick's high school basketball games was revealed. What a couple of douche bags.
I watched their substate game against Muscatine (Weiskopf) at the five seasons center and happened to be sitting in the same row as him.

Fran was losing his shit during the game but it was subtle and was always when you could tell someone missed a screen, cut, etc… he was quietly fuming. Slapping his knees, but never screaming. I was amused at the time.

Oh for sure.

He just wasn’t shy abt his displeasure at all. I would think if you were the father of a high school player and you happened to be the head basketball coach at a high major university, you might want to sit way up top and be as inconspicuous as possible.

Fran was not interested in that at all which is why I believe all the other stuff I’ve heard.

He also tried to make him the focal point of the offense and gives him 30 mins a game.
Correct. I don’t know why people hate fartman for that. He is the rare case of squeezing absolutely everything out of his god given ability.

The perception of Fran vs that of Kirk is always funny to me.

One runs an almost embarrassingly clean program but gets red in the face when he is mad. The other has had dozens of players accuse the program of racial bias, but he has sort of an 'aww shucks,' attitude.
Seems like both coaches are mostly beloved by their players. Ultimately, though, to the average fan KF comes across more likable on the tv than Fran did (I say did because he rarely gets upset these days)

Fran has had some bad moments acting like a baby and getting T’s that have hurt the team multiple times

Fran can lose his temper and act like a baby which makes it ok for kirk to ruin kids kidneys, let a racist run the program, and get regents fired when they demand he hold his son accountable for sucking dick at his job.

No one hates either Sandfort.

People understand their limitations and dislike a) the role that Peyton is in, and b) that Pryce is in the Big Ten when he should be playing for UNI or Central College.

Yes, they do.

if/when Pryce leaves, so you think he ends up in the valley or a high major? I think you know the answer.

As for where Pryce would end up, I would guess somewhere like the valley.

As for the rest of it, you're tilting at windmills.

He would be an attractive bench player for a team with starting guards who can guard.

Lol, no. He is a good shooter with height. He will have a long list of choices.

Fran went 14-19/4-14 and made the next 5 tourneys.
That stretch was actually similar to the current one. Had a bubble team Joks senior year that got run out of the gym in a BTT game they needed. Followed it up with a 14-19/4-14 team that played absolutely no defense. Made the tournament the next year.

Last year Iowa was a bubble team that got run out of the gym in a BTT game they needed and are following it up with a team that plays no defense.

Yeah, when I look at him, I just see a frame that could be completely ripped with a little hard work!

He put on like 15 pounds from last year. Must’ve been all the golf and church group stuff.
