Prohm Hired As ISU MBB Head Coach

[Doctor]

Knowing we are capable of someone better.

LOL. I'd trust Jamie over Leath in pretty much anything, but especially picking a basketball coach.

ABC5 reporting that it was a done deal to hire Otz last week until Leath stepped in.

As we've been saying for a month.

Well after interviewing him Pollard changed his mind. So you can still trust Jamie on this.

If the ABC5 report is correct, I wouldn't trust Jamie on his own for any hiring decision.

Does someone have a link to this report?

If I run a department and can't hire who I want, I'd be looking for a new job pretty much right away.

It's not like Jamie is some junior AD.

I wonder if Jamie will tweet that he was over-ruled by Leath.

This is exactly what I wanted to hear. Keep the system, but more speed and DEFENSE.
That's it, National Title game or bust.

Murray State was one of the worst defensive teams in the country last year according to KenPom, even adjusted for pace.

He hired who he wanted. But after his boss told him to do his job and interview people, it turned out it wasn't who he was just going to give the job to.

Players meeting Prohm
Burton is one big mother ******

My ears. Was on the 10:00 news.

Here is the exact quote though:

"Most thought Otz would be the successor to Hoiberg in fact our sources close to the situation say that it was a done deal last week. But then Leath stepped in, and expanded the search.

 

[BigBake]

Whelp....okay. Guess we'll see what the next few years bring.*

* Making no prediction on the success of this hire.

Oh God, quit being so dramatic. You have no idea what JP is thinking about his hire.

Prohm is in and throwing fits isn't going to help any.

According to that they were actually in the top half. Just barely, but definitely not one of the worst...

Players just walking out of meeting with Prohm. Niang, Morris and McKay all with high praise. McKay said he felt better walking out than in

Georges Niang says steve Prohm gets an a-plus on first face-to-face.

This is such good news. I am super jacked about our team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If he can make McKay faster, look out KU!

If McKay moves much faster, we might not be able to see him.

@TravisHines21: Style staying the same, Hoiberg a “resource,â€￾ new Iowa State coach Steve Prohm says http://t.co/adFBtoxESY (with video)

They were more than 100 spots below us. Really just responding to the better defense crowd. Look at the team's below them. Guess my real point is that defense does not appear to be an emphasis.
