    Williams & Blum Pod: How good is the ISU basketball job?

    I don’t know folks. Quantitatively, ISU is pretty unlucky this year ;)

    Anyone else hearing that JP has already decided Prohm is coming back?

    Dave Leitao, Homer Drew, Ken Trickey, and Joe Dooley come to mind, but it seems more common in college football with limited record of success.

    Anyone else hearing that JP has already decided Prohm is coming back?

    Curious for those citing “sources” for their insider info: how many degrees of separation constitutes a reputable source? How do you trust that you are not being played or that your sources sources source is being played?

    Anyone else hearing that JP has already decided Prohm is coming back?

    One can only hope for winning and to erase the shadow of Fred. Maybe the memory was too recent, but winning in year 1 & 2 didn’t seem to subdue the Prohm critics.

    Anyone else hearing that JP has already decided Prohm is coming back?

    Anything says nothing is going to work. So people are really just excited because this coach has been successful here before and are nostalgic for the return of the prodigal son? That doesn’t seems like a pragmatic appeal. p.s. I look at hires in terms of risk and return on investment. I am...

    Anyone else hearing that JP has already decided Prohm is coming back?

    What says Hoiberg returning for part deux is going work? The market inefficiency of transfers isn’t what it used to be and was beginning to lose its power in the twilight of Hoiberg’s last ISU stint. The formula for success (transfers, free flowing offense that captitalizes on the easy...

    Yep, the reaction to said podcast encapsulates the fickleness and irrational nature of CF.

    *** Official Iowa State Season Thread ***

    Interestingly today on the CBS Eye on College Basketball podcast with Gary Parrish and Matt Norlander, both predicted ISU would be keeping Prohm based on sources they talked to recently. Of course, they didn’t say who they talked to, but these are both well-connected and well-sources journalists...

    Dis the Ducks

    Overall pretty good breakdown of the matchup and respect for ISU, but also some lazy analysis that leans on recruiting ranking disparity rather than scheme/personnel fit/execution. They must not have not caught wind of the Breece Hall quotable.

    Dis the Ducks

    Solid analysis and I think you have synthesized ISU quite well. The best writing I have seen seen on ISU’s unique defense has come from Ian Boyd which he describes as an inverted Tampa 2 where the nose guard, Mike LB and, middle safety are the leverage points of the defense. ISU “inverted Tampa...

    Ames urbanization and densification

    “Quick“ is relative for someone who has commuted to work in DC/NYC/LA etc. I find most people who complain about Ames traffic are the one who mainly visit Ames on game days.
