Message: [QUOTE="Fatroony5, post: 3415488, member: 10323"] I hear you and I think some of your criticisms are valid. Some coaches who have been hired have been able to do more with less and have good results a la Mike Young at Virginia Tech. I guess I just see it differently. The reason people are critiquing the older guys is because they deserve their share of the blame. I mean just look at the stats in those losses, it’s so hard to win that way when four of your older players take bad shots, turn the ball over, foul at the worst possible times, and just don’t have the poise needed to close these games out. I have a bunch of buddies that are Iowa fans and I watch a lot of their games closely. When we sit down and watch UConn play they can’t believe the guard play. Whether it was Wichita state, Nova, etc go down the line and it’s the same old story. Sure Iowa has some younger guys that are really coming on, but they have an upperclassman in Garza who balls out every game. That type of consistency helps steady the young guys. We need that, it’s so hard to win when you never know what you’re gonna get with our experienced players. I think it’s fair to criticize some of the in game decisions Hurley has made. But compared to last year, there’s definitely progress. More progress will obviously be needed next season to compete. And one other thing, everyone is praising Pikiell right now who is doing an awesome job. Take a look at his previous three seasons. [/QUOTE]
