    ***CC22 and the Fever mega thread***

    I agree 100% Gonzo and so did the great coach John Wooden. He stated he enjoyed watching women’s ball because it was more as he thought the game should be played, for the reasons that you stated. The men’s game is played above the rim, the women’s game below the rim. We can each have our...

    ***CC22 and the Fever mega thread***

    OK, I will respectfully disagree with “would mop the floor“. I have worked a number of basketball camps over my years and the coaches often stayed and played after the campers were done. I played against some NCAA D2 women’s players and was greatly surprised by their strength and athletic...

    ***CC22 and the Fever mega thread***

    My take—Clark is not the GOAT but she is by far the most impactful player ever to the increased popularity of the women’s game. We can all argue the GOAT, I don’t believe anyone with credibility can argue the second point.

    FWIW, I do agree with the majority on this forum that our four new players are much more athletic than the portal players we lost and that they bring much more potential to our team next year. I also agree that the nine we have are solid and will get the vast majority of majority of playing...

    I agree with Kc. I believe of the perimeter players we had last year she had the potential to be the strongest getting into the paint, either off the dribble or cutting, and creating a shot. Not much opportunity in a 3 out offense like we ran. Not saying Wisconsin will see this but much more...

    Thank you Anon for pointing out my obvious stupid. I will not let it happen again. Hopefully everyone else will forgive me but because of you I have become a better man.

    OK, maybe I’m a Nervous Nelly, but we need another shooter soon before they are gone!! (AKA Taylor McCabe). I know many are in the “win now“ mode and feel we need another “4” type player. Someone bigger than what we have. I believe that would be a mistake for the long run. Would that not get in...

    2027 Recruiting

    I’m on board with “citizen”. My question is are we dealing with “fools gold” after the overachieving regular season the Hawkeyes had? In rating our 2025-26 season I think we were somewhere in between our overachieving regular season and our underwhelming post season play. We seem to be setting...

    I’m probably naive about what’s going on behind the scenes, and I hope it’s plenty, but it concerns me that we don’t hear much about visits or any activity. Anyone have updates on contacts Iowa has made?

    Thank you for understanding my take Kceasthawk. I obviously have strong feelings on the issue but that certainly doesn’t make me right or wrong. One can for sure see the weakness in my stance with what happened this year concerning our unfortunate injuries. Each coach has to decide their...

    I believe I understand what you are saying. That roster spots should not be given to players who cannot physically help a team on the court. I can respect your take. My experience with my teams is the most significant factor in us playing more to our potential was cohesiveness. I explained my...

    Many of us can disparage Jayda as much as you want but after 56 years of coaching high school and college basketball believed having a “Jayda” or two type player was critical to the success of our programs. Maybe not in wins, but in our team culture and chemistry allowing those teams to be...

    The Athletic likes our portal gains

    I’m with Whynot. I don’t think either of us has to stick our head in the sand. We understand the direction that college sports is heading. We just don’t lIke it. Two individual opinions.

    Free throws!

    I’m not sure it’s that easy to fix. I watched the Timberwolves miss 11 free throws in their playoff game vs the Nuggets last night 😳
