This week on the Fight for Iowa podcast, Gary Dolphin shares observations from a recent Iowa Men’s Basketball practice under new head coach Ben McCollum. With an early emphasis on defense and team chemistry, the Hawkeyes are taking shape ahead of the 2025–26 season.
Dolphin catches up with senior guard Bennett Stirtz, last seasons Missouri Valley Player of the Year who’s already turning heads in Iowa City and recently earned an invite to the prestigious Chris Paul Elite Guard Camp.
Also featured is Cooper Koch, one of only two returning players from last season, who talks about his health, development, and the energy Coach McCollum brings to practice.
And Coach Ben McCollum himself shares insights on the team’s progress and what fans can expect as the season approaches.
It’s an early look at a new era of Hawkeye Hoops.
