This is Steve Prohm’s program. Period.

I just can't believe all the Prohm haters. Even with the refs wanting KSU to win all game long, he still coached us to the point we had the game won. The players were giving a half a$$ effort all game long except for Halliburton and Conditt.

Is it Prohm's fault nobody can hit a wide open 3 all game? Is it his fault we can't make FT's in the clutch? Is it his fault nobody even tried to stop Brown on his game winning drive?

I swear this time of year everyone always throws Prohm under the bus, and then by the end of the year they are praising him.
To answer your question, partially yes. Why do our teams consistently have issues at the FT line? He put the players out there to finish the game and determined the matchups. How long do you plan to give CSP a pass?

I've defended him since he's been here, but he's starting to lose me at this point. I get he didn't miss the 3 or the FT's at the end, but this is becoming common where we choke at the end.

Edit: I don't want to feel this way, either. He is a very good recruiter and seems like he enjoys being here, but you cant lose games like this when you're up 7 with a couple minutes left.

HIs recruiting is topnotch. Appears that the players are not focused on the offensive end when facing a team that applies defensive pressure.....like KSt. Pass the ball around outside until the clock has wound down and then either take a desperation 3 or drive and shoot a contested desperation shot. With no rebound. Is Solomon Young hurt? Jacobson does well against non-con but not so much in B12. Conditt looked the better today. Is Solomon Young hurt?
 
This back and forth about Prohm is exhausting. Shouldn't we know if he is a good coach by now?

Something also to acknowledge is if things are going well for ISU they tend to stay that way like last week.

If it's ugly though, you get the feeling that it's not going to get right. I guess another way of saying choking but geez, up 7 like that after struggling so much...
 
This roster was setting up to be a peak year, but he’s going to have to figure out how to get these guys playing better, soon. The pieces are there.

Prohm just got schooled by BRUCE WEBBER!! In Hilton. Let that sink in. The same guy that got run in Illinois and is on the hot seat every year in Manhatten. He is a great recruiter but this team has no leadership from the coach on down. I think the core group of freshmen are the leaders. Babb acts like he has lost his puppy and is supposed to be the senior point guard. Wiggy does not fit in at present. Prohm has to settle on what his rotation amounts to fast.

Weber is a good game coach that could go .500 with a MVC roster.

This conference has a lot of very good coaches in $elf, Kruger, Beard, Dixon, and Huggins, even Drew, Weber, and Shaka have some resume fillers.

same thing happened with Rhoads. People swore up and down that Paul was actually a great head coach until we fired him, and then were made we didn't give him more time. Now we actually have a good coach and nobody thinks Rhoads was good anymore. same deal here, just a reverse because we down graded from Hoiberg to Prohm
 
Prohm is arguably the worst coach in the big12. Only one I could argue maybe being worse is Shaka. But even he has had major success at one point in his career. We won't ever win a regular season title with Steve at the helm. We have a top 1-3 team in talent but will squander that with a mediocre/below average coach.

Haven't won a came within 6 points since Nov 2017? That is bad coaching.
 
We have a MAC level coach , trying to win games in an Elite P5 basketball conference.

Dude has no idea how to scheme offense out of Timeouts or anytime during the game.

There is no sync among the players, they are all doing their own thing on each offensive position. That is all on the Coach.

I miss the days how the offense flowed like a well oiled machine under Fred, with very average talent.

Now we have talent, but a clueless coach, who does not know how to harness that talent.

Years of Mediocrity will reign under their Terrible Prohm Era.....Hilton Magic is officially dead.
