I want to start by saying I still stand with Coach Fleck, but this one bugs me. I totally understand as a Coach you don't want to give the other team locker room bulletin board material, but to me Fleck goes overboard giving his competition way to much credit going into games. I get it you want to show respect for your opponent, but at the same time your players are likely going to hear this spiel. Fleck tells his players not to listen to outside noise, but it's hard to do when your Coach is saying it. I cringe, almost vomit when he says Iowa is a great program and that Coach Ferentz is one of the best. I'm sure Coach Ferentz uses that when we are going head to head with a potential recruit. Change your best Coach and just give some simple accolades for the opposing team and then move on.
