This is why Prohm must go........

[ISUChippewa]

He became emblematic of the problems that season even if they were fall from his fault alone. He could be okay in 10-15 minute bursts.

He was just not a Big 12 starter or a long-range shooter, which Prohm tried to make him one and style him as one, with predictably deplorable results.

We could use *anybody* who makes shots this year, so if we had Jeff and he was making 16' shots instead of Jackson bricking threes, I am all for it.

He was just the new guy and did hilarious stuff like this --

...so it makes a funny meme.

I would absolutely much rather have his reliable mid-range jumper than Nixon's bricks from the 3 point line this season, no question about it.

How nice would it be to have Jeff Beverly and his mid-range jumper this season?

I'm totally serious about that; I know some posters on here (and I'm not suggesting you are one) love to rip on him for whatever mean-spirited reasons they have, but I really thought he was a nice complimentary player for that one season.

It would not be great to have Jeff Beverly and his jumper this year because of all of the non-P5 things that came with Jeff Beverly and his jumper.

It'd also be nice to have Simeon Carter's infectious energy on the bench and Bowie's 2-3 good games in 30+ tries. Doesn't mean they're rosterable.

I am happy to admit I am not a Jeff Beverly fan because he was not a good basketball player and shouldn't have been recruited by this staff, which has an abysmal history of landing transfers.

Karl Malone of all people should appreciate the memes.

Really nice to see that you don't make these things at all personal.

Steve keeps going to this reasoning and it's really not helping his cause:

@RandyPete
Steve Prohm: If we just made half of the easy baskets we get, and cut out half the easy baskets or a third of the easy baskets we give up, we’d be playing a lot better.

How incredibly insightful Steve. I guess he's just hoping it'll all work itself out. Crazy how out of touch he is with his own team, I think he honestly believes he's putting his players in a position to succeed. Clearly the comments of a man who has no worry about his future here.

If I ate half the pizza and 1/3rd of the donuts I do, my weight would be down at least 15 lbs.

2 million bucks a year for "if we start scoring more and they score less we will be right there."

 

[Sigmapolis]

You guys are applying even more motivated reasoning than normal if you think that is anything but ordinary coachspeak. Everybody says "we need to score more" and "we need to play better defense" in various ways, shapes, and forms.

How was it made personal? Your post was called dumb. Which, objectively, it was.

 

[cyclones500]

I think we have lots of talent on this team. Which points to the real deficiency on this team - the guy with a pocket full of chapstick.

If Prohm era fails and you ever want to write a book about his time at ISU, there's your title: "A Pocket Full of Chapstick." (Subtitle specifics are up to you).

He's actually not wrong. I just don't think he understands he controls the adjustments that make a good portion of that happen.

The definition of rock bottom might be wishing a guy that had a WS/40 of 0.05 would come back and save us by shooting more mid range jumpers.

You know, your obsession with me and your weird need to try and bully me by attacking every single post I write on here is getting downright creepy.

I might have to get a restraining order against you at this point.

I don't know the butcher but you get butt hurt when anyone disagrees with you. That's a you issue.

Uh...no. When someone goes out of their way to attack me I'll attack back. That's not being "butthurt".

Um no this is what you always do.

Got anything to back this up from recent weeks?

Yup, the guy is John Wooden.

Literally your response to @Malone just a few posts up.
