Losing to Kirk is a lot different than losing to Fran. One is an actual good head coach, and the other one is a meme due to his temper tantrums in games. I'm not sure why people are being so intentionally obtuse about this(well, I do know, but that's not related to the point.) The only thing Kirk and Fran have in common is that they both coach sports at Iowa. It's like if people were trying to compare Fred to Paul Rhoads.
The hawks were better than us. The hawks are better than us. They had continuity on the floor and they played with an intensity and a want-to we couldn't replicate. Whether that's talent, coaching or chemistry they beat the pants of us. Credit to Fran since he recruited, trained and coached those guys. Maybe he's not the cartoon you want him to be.
