Are you blind or just having trouble putting the pieces together?
If you're waiting for BF to come out and say, "she left because of me", it isn't going to happen.

After reading through this thread and the other thread about her leave of absence, it makes me wish CF would move to non-anonymous screen names. There is a lot of stupidity on both sides and if people could put a name with a post, it would cut down on a lot of the stupidity across the site.
Another ISU ostrich denoted .
Cypatriots said it best:
Still waiting on the evidence that she left cause of BF...

Well then you and the other pitchfork crowd can have a lovely time speculating all you want.
It won't solve the problem as people can't still use fake names or even some websites required FB account to post the comments, it's easy to create a FB account without having to disclose who you really are.
The only key is the consideration, respect and maturity among the posters. We're all Cyclones/Cyclones fans and we need to respect each other despite we have different opinions or different standards. There should be no name calling or hysterical accussations just because someone has different opinion.
good luck with that. CF has definitely gone down hill. The extremists either way always kill anything good.
You can agree/disagree with how BF handles things on the court.
But, Jess apparently disagreed with how he handled it. Right or wrong, that's how it is.
Maybe Bill should coach the guys and Fred the women. Since it seems their personalities would match what the teams need right now.
Agree with this 100%
100% correct.
Their performance over the next few games will say a lot about the mindset of the team and BF's ability to pull them through some adversity (whether you think it's self inflicted, or not).
But no matter what, losing your team's best defender a couple days before your league opener was definitely not part of anyone's plan.
...and when wins suffer this season due to this transfer...Bill can be held responsible. Please don't this as he should be fired...but someone from the admin needs to step in and say head butts and grappling with players is not allowed.

Yes, I believe that is exactly what happened.
After attending the women's games for the past 12 years and watching Jess get chewed out in the ugliest rant by Fennelly that I have ever seen against one of his players, I believe that was the last straw for Jess. Her parents watched it too and then watched her sit on the bench with a towel to her face for the last 9 plus minutes of the game.
I've seen other players & Jess get chewed out by Fennelly before and I understand and support what he is trying to get accompished, it just that Thursday night was beyond what anyone should expect.
I don't claim to know what happened or didn't happen between Thursday night and Friday's game time, although a different Bill Fennelly seemed to coach Friday night's game with no yelling or extreme dirty looks. He coached as if he knew or was told that on Thursday night he made a mistake.
Too bad, as Jess will be missed by her team and fans.
1. I don't get it.
2. Unless your name is Jessica Schroll or you happen to be her father/mother then you will never know all the details either. Drawing conclusions based on speculation doesn't help the program, especially on a public website.
Don't get me wrong, I'm just as concerned about the impact BF's behavior is having on some of his players. A lot of things brought up in this thread are similar to what was posted in the Whitney Williams thread two years ago. As I've stated before, I'm not out for BF's head, instead I want to see this worked out before it has the potential to cause more serious problems, as I'm sure many other posters want to see too.
being at courtside Thursday and Friday...I disagree.
He was an embarrassment Thursday night.

I saw the Friday night game with Buffalo on Clonezone. I remember after a timeout, Z had just made a layup or maybe a 3pter, and when Z got to the bench area, coach grabbed her arm and proceeded to yell and scream and give the look. I felt so bad for Z, she just deflated after that. The clonezone camera guy quickly moved the shot, but was a little late. Did anyone else see that? CZ hasn't archived those games yet.
