I’m pretty content with making the tournament most years and winning a game. He’s not great but he’s a solid coach and does well enough for Iowa’s program
4 appearances in 12 years (with 4 wins) is most years huh

He's been the coach at Iowa for 11 seasons and you know they would have been in the tournament if one was held in 2020. If not for a pandemic, he would have made the tourney 6 of the last 8 seasons.

Bwahahaha

So you like Fran and want him to be the head coach long term at Iowa?

And he wasn't a prick.
My point was that Fran has done exactly what a lot of fans would like for their basketball teams in general, make the tournament a lot. The issue is that he hasn’t done anything else besides that. Anything at all. So he’s not bad enough to fire, but he isn’t good enough to succeed past where he’s gotten.

It’s certainly a conundrum.
