If hoiberg called Pollard and wanted to come back..

This is one of those questions that, no matter how you answer it, would result in a no win situation. Close thread!
 
Mayo or miracle whip?

I gotta go with Mayo. Miracle whip is just nasty.

Well, it is Cinco de Mayo. Would be wrong not to.

Would Jamie immediately Fire Prohm and accept hoiberg back? I've asked a few cyclone fans this today and they think he'd do it in a second.

Absolutely not! The manner in which Fred left ISU was one in which he clearly did not close out his job in a professional manner (by waiting until after the season to begin interviewing for other jobs) when we had a team that most everyone had as one of the Final Four. I was at the UAB game and what I saw going on during the game on the iSU bench (Fred not acting as if he had his mind on the game, BDJ acting like a child with a bad case of ADD, etc.) gave me the feeling that Fred's mind was about as far away from functioning as head coach for our team as it could be. We now know that he had already interviewed with 3 different NBA teams, so he was clearly putting his personal interests above that of the team and did not close out. People who do those type of things tend to repeat them so I would not want to go thru that again. Sanderson and Hoiberg are more than enough for our program.
 
Re-read my first post. I indicated that Prohm may be a great coach at Iowa State but you have to be crazy to say right now he is a better coach than Fred Hoiberg.


I don't have to re-read your post. You said he hasn't accomplished half of what Fred did in 5 years. Of course not, he's only been here a year. It's impossible to go to the NCAA tournament 4 times in one year, unless you're a wizard or something....so I guess if your criticism of Prohm is that he's not a wizard, that's valid. I don't agree with it, I have no expectation that our basketball coach be able to accomplish things outside the space-time continuum, but if that's a requirement for you, that's a valid beef, I suppose.

Well, it's impossible with that attitude.
 
1. Hoiberg wouldn't do that to ISU, Pollard, or Prohm. He has enough class to avoid situations like that.
2. I think Hoiberg turns it around next year and succeeds. The guy has always had success.
3. Prohm hasn't even been employed for a year yet. Everyone knows this year will be his real test.
4. Just no.

Prohm is a better coach than Fred. Fred might be the better recruiter.... that's yet to be determined IMO. Fred was able to land some good transfers, but IMO Prohm will do better with high school recruits.

So all in all, I'd probably prefer Prohm at this point over Fred. How would Fred have handled the McKay situation this season? IMO, he would have done nothing and it would have festered and become a huge team chemistry issue by the time postseason rolled around, ala BDJ. Prohm fixed the problem, and ended up taking us to the sweet sixteen. Fred didn't handle BDJ correctly, and we got embarrassed by a bad UAB team in the first round.

But I still think it's a stupid thread that should probably have been deleted.
 
If people don't think Fred wanted out of here, he was interested in leaving ISU for the Gophers for crying out loud. He didn't like it here and wanted out. People may not like to hear it, but it's the truth. It wasn't just the NBA dream that made him leave.... he was looking into other college jobs too.

Way to make a dumb thread even dumber.

snort!
 
If it happened, once again Hoiberg would be winning with lots of someone else's recruits. Prohm is clearly a better recruiter.
