I really think this is the best we are going to get with this coach. They seem to have injuries EVERY yr just before the season starts.

Too reliant on the three point shooting. Live and die by the three point shot. "If you miss, just keep shooting the threes." This will never allow any team to consistently win and contend for the Big Ten championship and national championship. Kia Stokes saw that and that is why she chose Connecticut. A good team needs an inside game, drive to the basket, draw fouls, etc. 2. Out coached. This is readily apparent against good/talented teams like Ohio State, Nebraska, Penn State. Other coaches make adjustments before and during the game, and Iowa does not adjust to those changes. For example, Ohio State put their big center (Lavender) on Iowa's Kachine Alexander last year in the Big Ten tournament and Iowa was not prepared and had no answer for it. 3.Iowa is too much of a finesse team. They need to be more physical on defense, rebounding, etc. The Iowa womens’ basketball team has many weakness that are obvious as I have said over and over again:
