@callen0013 Or, take it away from the ump entirely. There are plenty of tasks for a home plate ump even without calling balls and strikes. Yeah, they do a good job, until they don't, and it impacts the game.

I despise the new ABS system in the MLB. You’re asking umpires to call a pitch going 95-100 w/spin/movement in a split second and then a batter or catcher can tappytap their helmet and let a computer determine ball or strike by a fraction on an inch. BS

@espnhomer All a coach at UNC can do is fail to meet legendary standards. At Iowa, he can do it his way without the past haunting his every season.

NC should hire the coach at Iowa.

Serious question: Who do Iowa fans dislike more, Nebraska or Illinois?

@RJHINDM @ROLLINRAIDER Layla should leave. Deal should stay but she needs to accept turning into a better Kylie. She isn't turning into Kate Martin and is light years from Clark. (most are, to be fair)

@ROLLINRAIDER I feel like Deal will start where Kylie was.

I hope no one transfers from the womens team. Lots of potential with the young players. I can see Deal taking a big leap next year.

@Jay_3shifty I think Jan and her staff did a decent job with a young team that lacked an aggressive scoring guard. HOWEVER, she must own the system she's running that seems incapable of improvisation when the plan gets taken away.

The amount of ppl I saw say Iowa didn’t deserve a 2 seed as if a season long resume is destroyed by 1 game.. i also saw so many ppl crashing out saying fire Jan.. are you guys out your mind? It’s year 2 and she’s taking the program forward.. she can’t shoot free throws for people

@DavidEickholt Jan is a great players' coach, a great recruiter and a borderline terrible in-game coach. It always looks like the team is afraid to just 'make shit up' when the scout and the game plan isn't working. I don't want to trade her, but don't pretend for a moment that she's Bluder.

Fairleigh Dickinson cut Iowa’s lead to one with 6:16 left and forced a timeout. I asked Jan Jensen what the message to her team was. Always appreciate her thoroughness and transparency:

Recreational golf is in an awesome place. Participation has never been higher. Love it. But when did it become OK to charge $9 for a “bucket” of 35 range balls?

@Thing1Nelson I hope I’m wrong but I don’t think she makes it. I think Iowa gets another big in the portal or they better and Hays will have the O’Grady role and get spot minutes in the next 3 years.

For being a 5 star and top 20 recruit Addie Deal has a lot of growing to do before next year.

@IndyHawk89 She can't currently shake press coverage (to use a football term) and she consistently passes up the midrange that Lucy cashed in all the time last year. Her speed is OK in open space but she's too easy to slow down. Defensively, she's showing improvement though.

@Simon_Ingari This is absolutely correct. Decades ago, I had a manager (good guy, by the way) tell me what I would have had to do to get another 0.5% on my yearly increase. After I heard of the work, I told him to keep it. The look on his face was priceless.

Stop making me justify my paycheck I don't want a yearly performance review. I don't want to spend two hours filling out a form about my "top accomplishments" like I forgot what I worked on all year. You saw the work. You paid me. That was the agreement. I also don't want to invent five ways I should magically do more in 2026 for the same money. If I mess up, tell me when it happens. If I'm doing fine, stop asking me to write essays about it. I’m not ungrateful. I’m just tired of pretending this makes sense. Yours truly Frustrated Employee

@OHawkeyes I will keep screaming this until I'm proven wrong or enough people start to agree. There are not enough discretionary dollars within 90 min of CHA to support the ladies AND the men. While the women are the hot ticket, this will continue.

@LouStagner Just do it quickly. Players that do ANYTHING slowly are the problem. Aimpoint looks funny. When it's slow, it's excruciating.

No. AimPoint shouldn’t be banned. If anything, it should be encouraged. Putting is a math problem, and everyone is doing that math whether they realize it or not. AimPoint just quantifies the process.

@ScottDochterman I know it's a basketball analogy, but I always taught my kids in youth hoops that "it's a foul if the official blows the whistle." Many will want a different call, but the silence ends all debate. Not targeting to the ONLY people that matter.

The "tradition" of having the person who makes a hole-in-one buy everyone a drink is silly. If your club has HIO insurance, fine. But to make the person go into their pocket to buy everyone a drink is RIDICULOUS.
