LOTS of season left. LOTS of time for this team and coach to figure it out.

Fuck that. I have something against him and his father, both should have known after being Iowa fans and knowing what happened to the McCaffery's that they never should have even attempted this. It had no chance of working unless he was playing spot minutes at the end of games in blowouts.

Both of them are fucking assholes.

I honestly blame Beth. If I knew what was going to happen, she did as well. They weren’t be quiet about it. It was a plan. Its tremendous arrogance, which often gets covered up by coaching ability. He’s now at a level where it gets exposed.

Just think, he had a team that was good enough to make the elite eight last year. But his kid would have been playing similar minutes last season…if he hadn’t got hurt, we might have missed the tournament entirely.

Ben can coach. And like every other coach, he cannot objectively evaluate his kids.

All of Peyton's minutes should be going to Coon. I don't give a fuck about Thompson & Harris, maybe those guys suck. We've missed on recruits before. But Coon is so obviously better right now at just about every part of the game. Maybe Peyton is a good 3 pt shooter but he has been awful so far. He is too small and too slow and not a good enough shooter to justify any of this. The only thing that could have ended the elite eight honeymoon is playing your kid and bringing up all these awful memories of watching coaches kids on the floor while NBA talent is on the bench.

Get ready to double your earnings.

From Blair

"Looks like Tate McCollum has offers from Montana State and Washburn so more highly recruited than Peyton coming out of high school. He hasn't committed anywhere yet, so I assume he's not signing today and will let his senior season play out first."

This is why HaLo is the elite site for all Hawk talk. While the entire Hawkeyeverse is wildly overreacting to any and every little thing about an early November overtime loss by a middling Big 10 team to a middling ACC team in which our probably 2nd best player barely played due to injury, HaLo is keeping an open mind and trusting in our Rain Man coach to maximize our potential over the course of a very long season.

When ISU lost to Memphis the other night most of their fans were freaking out. What a bunch of fucking losers

I assume mckeever is going to be a question mark all year as to if he is healthy or can stay healthy.

Cam will be fine. McKeever better than I thought. Coleman better than I thought, but needs a lot of work defensively and seeing the court if he's going to be the primary PG. Not sure why they thought Sage could be a guard. Should still be a tournament team. Anything more than 5 or 6 minutes a game for Peyton is insane.

Hot fucking take.... the NCAA Tournament and making an Elite Eight is awesome and everything, but that shit happens over a very quick 10 day period and is a total crapshoot. The rest of the season lasts nearly 5 months. I actually fucking enjoy and look forward to those 5 months as much or more than some 10 day run in a crapshoot tourney. It fills the cold and dark months with some joy watching 30+ games of these guys play.

The prospect of watching Benjamin fucking around with Little Lord Fauntleroy for the next 4 years at what appears to be a planned 25-35 minutes per game is pure nonsense. What a fucking asshole, and the guy must truly believe he's some sort of basketball genius. He's going to find out when it comes to his son he's not and it's going to cost him his fanbase and his job if he's not careful.

Coleman can run a bee line to the bucket for a layup, but he can't run the court quite yet. We had an elite pick and roll guard last year, and now have an elite pick and roll post this year. Too bad they didn't play together.

Chad Leistikow's pod today touched on it today. Didn't scapegoat him for the game, but mentioned the PTSD.

The pick and roll game looked really good with Coleman and McKeever running it for a 2-3 minute stretch. It was unstoppable. Then they went to the “get the midget to switch to a bigger guy” offense which also worked, and also got him into foul trouble. Unfortunately, the defense and FT shooting were ass so none of that mattered.

We don't talk enough about McCollum's kid on this website.

Can we please start a separate thread to bash a Hawkeye player who busts his ass every second on the floor? I might even pay to subscribe.

A separate thread for shit players who try hard?

Who needs a thread when you have a whole program based on it? At least The Pear isn’t the coaches kid.

For our more analytical fans -- what was Ben actually seeing with regards to Peyton's defense? I saw him get beat multiple times, I saw him get crushed on screens and having trouble getting around them. What was his Dad actually seeing?

Just one game, but he was actually Iowa's worst defensive player (marginally, over Jirak) as measured by Defensive Box Plus/Minus. A measure of your contribution to the team defensively (negative 3.5 points) based purely on box score metrics (so no 'deflections' or other advanced metrics I don't know about) during his time on the court, given his position and team's overall performance during that time.

There are dads who are the opposite and are way harder on their own kid.

My poor little fucker was on the receiving end of that.

The only kids I kicked out of my practices were my own kids. That would set an example to keep the rest of the fuckers in line.
