Pretty much as expected on Around the Horn. All 4 columnists and Tony Reali though Fran was out of line after the game yesterday. Here are a few comments from them.

Frank Isola: "The question was absolutely fair. Fran needs to back off here"

Bill Plaschke: "Here's another question for [Coach McCaffery], how come you can't take care of that in practice?"

Bomani Jones: "What 7-footer plays defense with his arms out instead of his arms up?"

"Question was fair, Fran needs to back off of media"

"Bush league move" - regarding poke

"3 times, give me a break"

"How come you can't take care of this in practice? He's not learning how to play defense"

"What 7 footer is playing defense with his arms out instead of arms up. Bad coaching"

They were pretty good. I think the guy who got the most points was the one that put it all on Frannypants, saying this keeps happening, yet your seven footer should be guarding with arms up, not pointing at the offensive player; you should be teaching him how to defend in practice because "I said so.":smile: The woman said Fran was Mad because it deflected from his win, but said no she wasn't defending him. It really was more on Frannypants than Woody.

Well if you don't gain anything by putting your hands up because they don't go any higher than the top of your head, is it really bad coaching if your coach tells you to do something else?

Wilbon and Kornheiser were much less friendly to Fran and Woodbury than even the Around the Horn people.

I am getting some serious schadenfreude over Iowa absolutely mauling a Top 20 team, and then getting all of the attention after the game focused on the eye poke and Mad Fran

Wilbon: Fran is a bully and a jerk. Woody is Moe from 3 Stooges. Bring in a linebacker and take care of Woody the old fashioned way.

These too were awesome, Tony agrees with him.

Looks like Woodbury learned his techniques from the Waterboy.

Tony seemed to think eye poking was his signature defensive move.:yes: He needs to learn about the jump balls.
