Keeping TJ

[Dandy]

what the hell is the love fest for TJ

I'm not one pumping the TJ sunshine up everyone's behind but TJ did bring in the best recruit ever to ISU... That's probably a good place to start.

One follow-up question. What was Romar talking about?

TJ did not recruit Jeff Grayer

He brought Fizer?

Marcus Fizer?

 

[carvers4math]

TJ recruited the Roland Rocket? Damn, should hire a guy with a time machine.

 

[Spam]

I think TJ and his wife's love for Ames is a bit overstated. Just got the feeling they were just campaigning for the job.

One follow-up question. What was Romar talking about?

maybe Romar's going to get fired next year and TJ wanted to leave on his own terms instead of being part of a staff that gets the axe

TJ got offered the head asst coaching position at Kentucky by Calipari. Even if he stays this year, he is going to be gone after that.

I knew people were going to jump on this.

Maybe Fred was waiting to see if TJ was going to get this job and if not, take him to Chicago with him?

Do the Bulls need a recruiter?

Harrison Barnes?

 

[istater7]

4 years under McD, only 3 under Fred. Maybe he would have "promoted" McD ball?

So you think he hasn't learned anything after seeing what's worked and what hasn't at ISU?

This isn't rocket science guys... if Prohm wants him on his staff and if TJ wants to be part of his staff then it's a no brainer you retain TJ but if either side has issues with this relationship chances are it will not happen. When was the last time you heard any team's fan base talk in such detail all the time about their assistants like we do? You don't because assistant coaches are a dime a dozen and jump around all the time, to think that TJ is a make or break hire to retain is nuts. Would we all love to see him stay? Probably yes but there is no point in it if there is not a mutual desire for him and Prohm to work together. Pretty sure Prohm didn't get this job without having a good idea of what his staff will look like when he interviewed for the job over the weekend much like probably anyone that interviewed including TJ himself.

When was the last time a coach like Fred left a college program in June with a upper classmen stocked team and the only guy you've signed is because your asst. coach is a money recruiter?

Well I'm never defending anyone on here ever again.

I'm sure that happened and he chose to come here as an assistant instead.

Northern Kentucky, Kentucky, same difference.

 

[TXCyclones]

Stop. Just... stop.

It's okay, sport. Sometimes people just need to be reminded that Iowa State basketball existed and thrived long before Hoiberg.
