Why would we want our freshman backup center to transfer?
I wouldn't mind it you transferred.
Going out on a limb here but I'm guessing if she did transfer...you'll probably have a new favorite team.
I think most Hawk fans knew winning either of the LA games was going to be challenging.
Im not sure Deal has shown she can play a transition game.
Become their agent and kick their asses down the road fool.
Do you think in today’s world you can have a roster of 12-13 players that all want to play? You’re ridiculous.
Things happen.
You know so little about the game I don’t even know what to say. You piss and moan about everything.Things happen.
Iowa has lost Emily and now McCabe since the season started.
Those are two players expected to be significant contributors.
As a HC, you damn well better have 12-13 capable of contributing.
That, or be content being mediocre.
Or was your post an attempt at trolling?
I feel like this is a contest for how many bad takes can be incorporated into a single thread.
Her shot was falling against OSU. It wasn't the last 2 games. I think/hope you can simply blame a lack of experience on looking so bad on the road. She didn’t handle it well.
don't forget to tell UConn
Do they play 12-13 players? The answer is no.
I beg to differ.
Using UConn as a comparison is ridiculous, but you already knew that.
I don't understand how you come to the conclusions that you do? Do you actually think these players have nerves of steel and are not affected by hostile environments or that freshmen can take time to get comfortable in game situations? What will you do when and if Deal goes off again against Minnesota? How can you believe that the assistant coaches have no input?
I will admit I overanalyze.
Got you, I would overthink my own games and my children’s HS and college games also, it did me no good. Bottom line is Iowa got beat by a better team and they also got the breaks, like ghost fouls and traveling not called. Again not a damn thing I can do about it!
That is how Indiana ended up 0-9 to start conference play
Perfect post. We need scoring. Addie when confident and getting playing time and the green light ... like Oregon 18 MSU 8 OSU 20
It's also suprising that she was so highly rated as a recruit when she has athletic deficiencies--speed and quickness--that cannot be coached/developed.
But are they the same players, 8 or 9 through 13 every year, or do those who don't play head elsewhere?
Chit-Chat is Iowa's best 3-point shooter. Jan needs to set screens for her so she can get more than a couple of shots a game. When they put a quick big on Chit-Chat, it shuts her scoring down, thus the need to burn the opponent with screens. Iowa's offense needs to be more diverse and, if I may borrow an apt phrase from Hayden Fry, scratch where it itches.
Deal ain't just another freshman. For one, Iowa has played more than 20 games, so she's not just a freshman anymore. For another, Deal came in as a 5-star recruit who was rated No. 9 in the entire country by 247Sports, No. 12 by ESPNW, and the #1 player in all of California. I think fans are justified in expecting far better performances from a player like that than what we saw vs. USC and UCLA.
You should see his takes on the wrestling forum. Hes a basketball genius compared to that sport.
I agree she needs to loosen the leash some because some of our veterans are doing the same dumb turnovers. The only negative thing I will say is there's a decent difference if you watch a men's team Ben doesn't miss some of the small details that I think Jan is missing regarding fouls and timeouts etc. Ben is an amazing coach so probably not fair to compare her to him. But there are some areas where she could learn from him and make improvements.
