Reality is prohm is a good coach. He has been able to attract talent. He’s ok on the sidelines, you don’t win as much as he has if you’re not.
This team is up and down. Not sure why it is. Seems they bond together on the road, and home is an issue.
I guess I’ll go back to what I said after k state and after tcu. I’m gonna see how the season ends before I declare this season a failure.
We're actually a very good team. We're a great road team but man at home it's like we think we can just show up and win or something
Obviously, I was replying to that jackass and being sarcastic.
But feel free to call out the numerous posters who are actually calling for prohm to be fired.
So you would be acting rationally if ISU had beaten KSU, TCU, and BU at home, but lost to TT, KSU, Ole Miss, and OU on the road?
Prohm mentioned before that he thought they get tight at home. Not sure if that’s true, but they haven’t appeared confident the last couple of games. I thought they played fairly hard last night but you could sort of see in their eyes that they thought they would lose.
And average teams don't win on the road too often. So we are not good. Not average. We must be bad.
Of course he wouldn’t. He’s not an Iowa State fan. He relishes in every loss. That’s why after a great win on Saturday, he spent hours ******** about one play.
I wonder if there are some underlying chemistry issues that are not easy to see on the surface that are starting to bubble up.
Also, it really seems like whenever both Wiggington and THT shoot poorly, especially from the perimeter, that it really effects the whole rest of the offense. I know; Captain Obvious type of statement, but them shooting a combined 2/10 from the three point line last night was just as detrimental as us getting our ass*s kicked on the boards all night.
One does not necessarily mean the other. I'm not an advocate of firing Prohm...I do feel that the difference between good coaches (which nearly all at this level are) and great coaches (which I think we want him to be) is that they understand how to utilize what they have better than other coaches. I have yet to see this from CP in any year he's been here.
IMO, he inherited known entities that may have helped his image the first couple years. No doubt, he can recruit...but I haven't seen growth from our team. Even Babb doesn't seem as confident as he once did.
I'm not a bb expert but the eye test to me doesn't show progression. Zero in-game adjustments, limited strategy in clutch situations, on-off effort...who controls this?
Finally, all great coaches will tell you they develop a leader. Who is ours?
Tech at home very well could be a loss. I still maintain we are an 11-7 group.

Don't look at the league title. That's over for a team that can't protect its home court.
Who said I want TJ? It's frustrating to watch other teams get coaches like Lon Krueger, Jamie Dixon, heck look at what Barnes is doing now.
Then we make an impulse hire, they pretty much admitted Prohm got the job because he was close to Hoibergs style and they didn't want to disrupt the chemistry for the core group he left behind.
I just think they should have done a better search, we were a hot program at the time, it's not like he was some juggernaut, he made 1 tourney in 4 years at Murray.
The guy can recruit obviously, but I just don't think he's a good coach.
I think someone else mentioned it but in the first half last night you got the feeling that the game was going to go about like it did.
The team is schizo which is understandable in some ways but man if they need a bucket they flip out and force it instead of working it around for a shot.
As multi-faceted as they are in individual skills at times they're easier to guard when players are going iso.

0% chance we do. It’s not possible.Starting to hope we don't draw Des Moines for the tournament
TJ WILL GET THE JOB IF PROHM IS FIRED OR IS RUN OFF. END OF STORY.
Conference championships are won by running the table at home or going 8-1, and finishing at least .500 on the road, that's all I want to see. The talent was there this year, especially with all the injuries in the conference.
