Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

[CyTwins]

Who had more talent that season?

This might come as a shock to you but recruiting is the most important part of coaching CBB

Since we are comparing coaching jobs for the 18-19 season and you brought up Fran's actions in Columbus, that is the same year Prohm went crazy in Carver in a game that his team lost by 14 points.

I wouldn't go down that road if I were you lol. You'll never win that argument. Prohm knew what he did was wrong and apologized, while Fran chased referees down a hallway, yelled obscenities and was suspended for multiple games for the second time in his career at Iowa.

I heard Jess Settles filed for medical redshirt. Think he has another year so he can get a meaningful degree.

Med school a 2nd time through?

We agree that Prohm recruited a better roster and Fran did a better job coaching their respective rosters in 2018-2019.

I think the guy with a Big 12 title ring and a 6 seed did a better job that year

Also, isnt that the year that Prohm lost control of the team and there was a shoving match on the court during a game and a fight during practice that injured Shayok?

I hope you're kidding and they don't really pass out rings for that.

Conference championship rings? Yes they do

You're not far off but that's not 100% correct. A lot of personalities and guys who just wanted to be done with college on that team. That's not the reason why we lost to OSU, but that was the reason why we dropped a few games towards the end. That and Babb got injured for one game and Shayok kicked a door and bruised his foot lol.

Conference championship rings? Yes they do

Most teams that win their conference tournament get rings.. Are we really going to argue that? Lol

Lets plop this down here again:

Fran's bonus for a B1G tournament title is more than it would be reaching the round of 32, 16, 8, ties the Final Four, and more than winning B1G coach of the year, and National coach of the year.
Tournament titles don't matter though.

If you're trying to say Fran is a poor recruiter I'm not going to disagree with you

That is one way to wave the white flag.

I'd agree. Yet there is always an exception to every rule, so congrats on having a head coach that proves the exception to this rule.

 

[CyTwins]

What was the one about Kirk Ferentz being racist? Refresh my memory. That came from one of your "sources".

Yes it did

ISU should have one, if you can get Smith and Harris gets a waiver.

Then the question becomes if Prohm can get the NIT roster into the NIT.

Back to the NIT bubble only if Harris can get his waiver.

Iowa State not getting Smith has been the best news for Iowa athletics in the past 4 days. Congratulations.

I'm disappointed we didn't get him but what I said was true.

ISU is of no worry for Iowa this season in basketball so I wouldnt really call it news.

I am just glad he didnt up at Illinois.
