Iowa's Fran McCaffery Pays Homage to Bobby Knight, Body Slams a Chair
By Jason Lisk
Iowa coach Fran McCaffery appears to have a bit of an anger problem. He got a technical with his team trailing Michigan State by 28, then charged out on the court and berated officials. Then, while huddling with his team on the Breslin Center Court, McCaffery proceeded to pick up a chair and body slam it to the ground. (1:13 mark of the above video)
A quick search of YouTube reveals that Coach McCaffery, despite his school principal appearance, is going to be a source of constant entertainment. He melted down in a loss to Northern Iowa earlier this season. Against Purdue this year, he also caught his assistant coach off guard, when he slammed the clipboard out of his hand in anger.
