I don't understand this thought process at all. Fred burned a lot of bridges the way he left and losing to UAB with that roster. Throw in the fact he didn't care about defense and we all saw how that limited our ceiling and I think you are mistaken
Many ISU fans would rather have any coach that's not the current coach if any losses happen.
Kind of similar to the backup QB thing.
But yeah memories are quite rosy for Fred's inconsistent teams.
First off, how long do you think a week is?
And you are bring Iowa women basketball into this? How much Iowa women's basketball have you ever watched or commented on?
Fred is going to have to compete with transfers being normal now and the hate recruiting stigma.
I think everyone that's an ISU fan appreciates what Fred has done but that doesn't mean the majority want him back as head coach. He's a good guy that moved on, that's OK.
Prohm was rumored to be in the mix at a couple other power jobs, that's a good thing that we retained him.
I just feel that most ISU fans would rather have Hoiberg than Prohm.

I would rather have had 4 years of THT; however, that isn't going to happen. Answering your questions leaves out one important question: "Who will the Clones use that scholarship on the next three years?" Until I know the answer to that it is likely premature to answer your question. If THT is successful in his bid for a 1st round draft pick, think that has to help ISU long term in the recruiting front. Having said all that, I miss the days of watching stars (Barry Stevens, Jeff Hornacek, Jeff Grayer, Fred Hoiberg, Melvin Ejim, Georges Niang, Monte Morris...just to name a few) stick around and develop over four years, so I get your Weiskamp point of view.
You assume the choices were (1) give Prohm an extension or (2) don't offer extension, Prohm leaves for sure and Hoiberg is guaranteed to return to ISU?
Rough week for Hawkeye fans:
1. Still an Iowa fan
That would be a bad sports week for any fanbase.

0/3. That Iowa State roster is looking a little rough next season. Prohm is going to have to hit the transfer market pretty hard.
A good transfer or two would be the only way they could make the dance next year. Looking NIT bound at the moment.
Without Cook Iowa might have the least athletic P5 team in the country. Hopefully Wieskamp can take a big step this offseason and become more of a creator offensively.
Agree on both counts. Can't believe we had Cook this year and wasn't counting on him to come back.
Connor plays 2 sports and gets 20 minutes a game. He's got to be athletic.
