Ask an Iowa basketball fan what their thoughts are on Fran McCaffery and you’re likely to get a 50/50 divide on like or dislike. Personally, I fall on the like side, and I have been an avid supporter of Fran McCaffery, but anytime things go wrong, the naysayers come out in full force.
Fran McCaffery has been the head coach of the Iowa basketball program for nine seasons, and he has put together some great recruiting classes and solid regular seasons.
