Could things get any more disheartening with the Iowa basketball program? While reading the Des Moines Register online today, I came across an article by Sean Keeler in which former Hawkeye Dan Bohall decided it was time to put his two cents worth into the basketball situation. Bohall played in 19 games last season, averaging 2.8 points per game before being suspended for public intoxication. Bohall left the team last April. Though Bohall left the team, he still attends Iowa and has remained friends with some of the players on the team.
In the article, Bohall blamed Lickliter's "mid-major" style of play and his inability to relate to players as the reason for the recent departures.
"The Big Ten is not the Horizon League," Bohall said. "It's not a mid-major school. You're playing against athletic (teams)."
Bohall also questioned Lickliter's ability to relate to his players. "He's impersonal with players," Bohall said. "He's not a real open person. Obviously, not everybody feels that way. I never had a sit-down conversation with him or never really talked with him until I got into trouble ... it was just — not a real comfortable place."
I'm all about honesty and trust, and I must admit, my trust in Coach Lickliter is thinning, but this a low blow by Bohall. Way to kick a Coach when he's down, real classy.
There could be a bright spot on the way, however, Hawk fans. According to Rivals.Com, Iowa offered a scholarship to a certain prospect from Illinois with legendary basketball roots. Read my post above to get the player profile.
