2025 is looking like a real year of change.
GOR and athletic department contracts all coming to a close right at the same time
I'm stocking up on lawyers, guns, and money to prep

there was plenty of panic, but I had heard from a pretty solid source he wasn't going anywhere. Of course that led some people to immediately say that he's leaving for sure now
There was no panic. There were people hoping he would go, but there was no panic he said as leaving.

Losing conference record and averaged 5th place in the conference. I think too many ISU fans have too big of a head when it comes to ISU basketball. We were really bad for most of our history and have only seen consistent success over the last 8 years. Steve is doing a fine job.
I look at it this way - just get to the tournament then whatever happens happens.
Your argument lost all credibility when you compared this to the McDermott era.
The contract extension carries him through to June, 2025. That's six years from this coming June.
We just signed the Best MBb recruiter we’ve ever had thru 2025. It’s great news.
Continuity is good. The way he represents the university is nice. But his main job is to coach. I'm just not convinced he's worth a 6-year extension with what we know. Would've liked to see how we perform next year first.
If we have a roster of Lard, Wigginton, THT, Solo, Jacobsen, Haliburton and Conditt back, the expectation needs to be higher than 23-12 and fifth in Big12. If the university is going to invest in continuity, I'd like to see our coach show continuity in the way our roster plays. Consistent effort, players held accountable in-game, strategic development. He's a high-major recruiter and a high school level strategist. That works at the mid-major level. But in one of the best conferences with lots of great coaches, that's a shaky formula. He needs to improve, and I don't think we needed to commit to such a lengthy thing without getting another season of information. It sounds like SP is a good life coach. But he has a lot of growing to do to become a good game coach.
If those thoughts make me a "hater" and not a concerned fan that hasn't seen in-game ability from a COACH, so be it. I foresee a lot of *dislike* coming but few/no rebuttals.

This post reads exactly like a spam email asking me if I want to hook up with hot young singles in my area.
I do think next year will be a "prove it" year for Prohm.
Whether LW and THT come back or not. If they do, great, expectations will be high and it'll be his job to prove that. If they don't, thats fine, it'll take a great coaching effort on his part. If they don't come back, I think we have pieces to be competitive.

Excited for the 2019-20 season. Hoping the haters boycott and not renew tickets so that I get moved to center court and row 1
Talent gets you to the tourney, in the tourney where everyone is talented it comes down to coaching. I like the guy and if he's staying here, I'd rather have him locked up for recruiting purposes but now he needs to prove he can win those close games in the tourney that come down to X's and O's. That's the biggest thing that separates him from the great coaches in our league and around the country right now.
A good coach that wants to be here. Those have been hard to find in the history of this university. We now have three of them in football and mens and women's basketball. For those of you that can't see how good things actually are in our athletic department, I don't know what to tell you.
Why? He has serious concerns about his “x’s and o’s” and we already had him locked in until 2022. Good guy but this team of his guys had serious issues. I’m a bit frustrated by this.
This is fair, I don't necessarily agree, however I understand where you are coming from. It's good to want more. I haven't seen his buyout, and hopefully it's not "Fran like". In the next couple of years if the bar isn't raised then his seat should get hot. In the mean time, we are showing recruits that we are committed to him, we just won a tournament title, we have some nice players in the program, and we are ready to take a big step forward.
