I didn’t know Joe W and the Murray’s were guards?!?
But on those teams, the guards especially Fran’s son, would not have started on any ncaa tournament type power 5 team. That’s a fact.
Fran & Margaret tried to get Gary fired on 2 different occasions:
* In November 2018, Dolphin found himself in hot water after he criticized the program’s recruiting efforts and made comments directed at Iowa guard Maishe Dailey that inadvertently made it to air during a commercial break.
“How do we not get anybody like that?” Dolphin said. “We just don’t -- year after year. Just get one. We get Maishe Dailey. Dribbles into a double team with his head down. God.”
* On Feb 21, 2019, Gary referred to Maryland’s Bruno Fernando as “King Kong” during the closing moments of the game. Hawkeye Sports Properties, the multimedia rights manager for Iowa’s athletic department, then announced that Dolphin would be suspended for the rest of the season.

Ever sit by Jamie Pollard?I attended a game a couple of years ago involving IC West. Jack McC was their star player. The game was very close, a foul was called on Jack, who proceeded to yell F*** Off to the official, was given a tech foul. Fran and Marg went bananas, screaming at the refs.
The next 8-10 min, all calls went in favor of IC West and they won easy.
Last year, I attended a game and Kent McCausland was there to watch his son. I think it was Waterloo West and his son Jay were playing. Kent was very reserved and only cheered quietly for his son and team. This was refreshing to see. He carried himself with class.
No, share the details...Ever sit by Jamie Pollard?
Francine and Madge are a couple of odd ducks, that's for sure.I attended a game a couple of years ago involving IC West. Jack McC was their star player.

Yes, thank you....Did you mean daft?
Lolol.."opinions"are not telling someone else what they should say, do , or who they should associate with. Sorry that's above your head evidently. Sorry, you don't like my posts, (like I'd care).....Opinions being expressed on a message board? Never heard of such a thing. Surely a sign the apocalypse is near.
If we get another extreme sign, something like you having a good post that would be two of three signs.
"Better" I guess, although she has a high profile agency working for her, so I'll just assume they know more about what they're doing then I , or pretty much anyone on here would. The lady is only 24? She's made about 30+ million dollars in the last 4 years. I think she'll be okay.She had exceptional basketball talent and a bankable brand. She was getting paid. Whether she could have gotten better deals (made better decisions) is unknown.
Fify for accuracy.Most of the media and half this message board wanted Dolph’s career destroyed since the early 2000s
Not even at Pepperdine?Of course a lot of Fran’s players (mostly the guards) like him. They wouldn’t have played almost anywhere else in major college basketball!

She's set for life. That wasn't the question or point of discussion."Better" I guess, although she has a high profile agency working for her, so I'll just assume they know more about what they're doing then I , or pretty much anyone on here would.

For all her great qualities she's a super type A persona. Think MJ. Kobe, Tiger. There are many people who would NOT have considered any of those guys as "nice " people. We should not kid ourselves. Its hard to be that on the court and someone totally different off the court. The stories of having to ban her from classes in school because she got too "competitive", and need to bring in a specialist to work with her on how she could "fit" in a team concept while at Iowa. There's baggage that come with someone that has to win at everything they do.She's set for life. That wasn't the question or point of discussion.
She may make great basketball decisions and good business deals. That doesn't mean becoming part of the McCaffery clan is also a good move. They're still tool bags and some of that is going to rub off on her in one way or another. That said, a lot of Iowa fans have deified her to the point that they don't recognize some of the same qualities in her.
Let me get with the board police and let them know that they need to preface their opinion with 'I think' simple enough even for you. So going forward to express an opinion they shall be required to go 'I think CC should distance herself from the McCaffery family' there, I hope that helps you deal with people who have differing views that you. As far as like/not like your posts, if you have a good post that will be a good start for you.Yes, thank you....

I had never heard of this before. I knew Fran and Margaret could be difficult at times, but I didn't know it was this bad.
Yeah, I get the hyper-competitive angle. That's nothing new. Being able to tolerate, even embrace the McCaffery family (which we're learning more and more about) is another thing.For all her great qualities she's a super type A persona. Think MJ. Kobe, Tiger.

Let's just admit it, Barta was an idiot and should have been canned multiple times. Beth runs circles around him. That hush, hush extension was also a joke. Truly pissed me off. Glad Barta and the Fran clan are gone. Especially Connor.Pretty much any basketball coach in the country would have been an upgrade over Lickliter, so I don't think Fran deserves much credit for "bringing the program back." And given this info, it makes Barta look even worse, if that's possible. How the hell people like Barta and Fran keep their jobs for so long at a place like the U of Iowa baffles me. They didn't deserve those jobs and were as replaceable as a slice of bread. Thank goodness we finally have people of intergrity and transparency running things now with Beth Goetz and Ben McCollom.
Pepperdine isn’t major college basketball. But no Connor wouldn’t have played there.Not even at Pepperdine?

The amazing thing about this forum is just how personal posters both take and deliver their thoughts. Maybe YOU should grow the heck up. Its a message board. Say what you want, just as I can. And if you really think people posting here about just what Clark should do, don't actually think because they've supported her that this doesn't give them some investment, I'll just beg to differ. Maybe we should all just live our life and worry less about how she lives hers.Let me get with the board police and let them know that they need to preface their opinion with 'I think' simple enough even for you.

Sure, its another thing for most of us. Maybe its not a stretch for her. Maybe she's closer to their thoughts then we may believe. I followed her and still do, because she's a unique generational player. Doesn't mean i'd want her marrying my son, or being her friend, anymore then i'd probably chum around with Jordan or Larry Bird if I had the chance. Not sure they're really nice people eitherYeah, I get the hyper-competitive angle. That's nothing new.

Someone asked Scott Dochterman who Margaret was flipping off in the video that follows. Scott said she was flipping off an official.
The majority on the OT & Clemson board think this would be OK depending on political party allegiance.But heckling the emcee at a cancer charity event?
Lord.
Connor hit a Home Run!I always wonder what Coach Heller’s talks with his assistant baseball coaches were like when Connor was on the team and played that one seaon. “Like, guys, I know Connor’s our worst field player and barely batting his weight, but you really want me to piss off Fran and bench him??”
She is such a hot commodity that I can imagine multiple suitors were throwing bags of money at her. You don't know if her agent pushed a deal that was better for him or for her and she was too trusting.Hmmm, so maybe she really does make good decisions....
You are trying a little too hard. Maybe mix in some decaf. I don’t believe I can control whether people feel they have an investment in how CC lives her life. Fairly certain I haven’t expressed an opinion either way.The amazing thing about this forum is just how personal posters both take and deliver their thoughts. Maybe YOU should grow the heck up. Its a message board. Say what you want, just as I can. And if you really think people posting here about just what Clark should do, don't actually think because they've supported her that this doesn't give them some investment, I'll just beg to differ.

As for the board police, I thought that was YOU, given how you think its your place to decide whose posts are good or not worthy for your consumption.
Stop.I didn’t know Joe W and the Murray’s were guards?!?But on those teams, the guards especially Fran’s son, would not have started on any ncaa tournament type power 5 team. That’s a fact.
Oregon 63Stop.
The team with Weezy and the Murray's started 4 guards.
Yes, Weezy was listed as a guard.
Was Fredrick not starting at Kentucky for a while? Clearly, injuries got the best of him.
Connor led the nation in assist/TO ratio, that season.
And, although JBo was certainly polarizing, there are places that would have welcomed his numbers
This post sums up Frans career very well...Oregon 63

All that needs to be said.
Where’s @Hawk48 to tell this poster to “keep politics off the sports board.”The majority on the OT & Clemson board think this would be OK depending on political party allegiance.
Have no idea what your point is. Is this related to your earlier post that got destroyed?Oregon 63

No, it doesn'tThis post sums up Frans career very well...
Not at all surprising to hear that about Kent. Seemed like a class act on the court too.I attended a game a couple of years ago involving IC West. Jack McC was their star player.
