After all the crap we've had with McKay, I just find it shocking that some are actually criticizing Prohm. McKay is a basket case, and thankfully we only have 1-2 months left to deal with it.
What did McKay d this time?

To be clear I'm not sure if they were referring to yesterday or to the 2 game suspension. Apparently Jameel doesn't want to endanger his draft status by getting hurt. Him tweaking his knee apparently freaked him out about his future and at one time he wanted to shut it down and focus on preparing for the NBA.
I got a good chuckle out of it because it's an outlandish rumor if false and just as outlandish if true.
What did mckay do last year? I dont remember any issues which ultimately is my issue now. Why is he so terrible if he was fine last year?
Side note, why do many cyfan posters always have to find a player to hate? If you get mad at anyone get mad at the coach. Prohm even said, if something goes wrong, blame me. Yet people do get mad at coach and the reaction is consistently, "how dare you get mad at the coach, player x is terrible." So annoying.

I know you meant that in a positive way, but Prohm is way, way, way more the right coach for ISU than Eustachy was. We are blessed to have him.
This was going on after the KU game so that may be an old rumor than.. Be really disappointing if he revisited this attitude and way of thinking
The thing is that McKay was an emotional flake last year and has been the entire time he's been here. The difference is that Fred and Prohm have different views as to what is acceptable for personal behavior.
edit. Forgot to add that while he was overly emotional at times last year he never pulled anything like this so that in itself is a big difference.

I'm looking for a silver lining in all of this. He's gonna be well rested for the home stretch and he should be incredibly motivated to impress the scouts on the biggest stage of all.
How about he rests up and impress the fans, the coach, his teammates......?
Good lord. The scouts know everything about a college player. They don't like flakiness
I think prohm just needs to learn how to coach the kid. Maybe call fred and ask for some advice. It just feels like a personality problem which is so annoying when talking in the grand scheme of things. I might change my mind if I knew what mckay did but that's the problem: I dont. I mean, it was clear last yeAr he was crazy but we got the good side last year and this year the whiny sulky bad side. So figure out how to channel the good side: the season is almost over.
I saw that tweet and I am personally positive that wasn't what he was trying to say. He did not use the word "problem". He said "Not a ME thing it's a TEAM thing great WiN #CyclOneNation". I took that as very very positive, not negative. Communication between human beings is very very hard. especially on social media.
That players only meeting that Naz called could have happened after McKay had an incident that resulted in him not playing.
In other words- McKay has another incident. Team informed that McKay will be punished. Naz calls meeting. Everybody now on board, but punishment stands.

Here's my thing. I want to give Prohm the benefit of the doubt, but I don't see how some of you are. Which one has proven themselves to us. Only one has and that is McKay. Yes McKay is a nutcase, but he was a nutcase last year too. He still was the Defensive Player of the Year. Now Prohm from what we have seen at Murray State is a good coach. I think he was probably the best option from outside the program. He still hasn't proven it to us yet. He has done some really good things, but also some poor things. Ever since the night he was suspended Mckay has seemed to have his head on straight. I know we talked about the one game tweet, but I have nothing to show me that he wasn't told change his attitude and that was him saying I know what I have to do and I'm going to do it.
Why does Prohm get the benefit of the doubt when McKay has proven himself more. It very well could be that McKay is being a problem, but why is that the assumption. I'll compare it to football. Rhoads proved himself to us the first couple years and therefore was given a lot of leeway. Prohm should have to do the same thing.

It's funny to see all of the people that weren't at Hilton saying Jameel had a ****** attitude at the game yesterday. Probably 5 times he stood up waving his arms to get the crowd involved. Chatted it up with teammates a lot, saw him say lots of encouraging things to Burton before & during the game. Don't judge him because he was sitting on the bench in some sort of improper manner.
