Needed: “player only†team meeting!!!
- Thread starter ProhmDate
- Start date
I haven't seen this in a while. Thanks for posting. And I agree with the sentiment. Ain't no NBA scout using the word "synergistic".
I couldn’t agree more with the need for a “player only†team meeting!
Some of the dynamics you referenced have become crystal clear from the stands, TV analyst comments and CF observations. That said, we have all likely been guilty of some type of deliberate self-deprecating behavior at some point in our lives. I only hope our players have the wisdom and intelligence to come to grips with the damage their actions are inflicting on the team, themselves and their future.
Prohm could set his foot down and kick them off the team. It isn't like them being a diva has helped the past few games.
A former ISU assistant said the whiners on the team have been calling him to complain about the coaching changes and increased emphasis on defense among other things.
Hope that helps
If there is truth to really any of this story, it really makes me sad. Although this team has some issues that they can not control (injuries, depth) they can control attitude, effort and respect.
I can not think of a group of guys that I have enjoyed more and part of that is because we have so many seniors that you get to know almost like family. To think that they may not reach their full potential over things that are controllable just seems sad to me.
The only thing worse than a bad attitude, poor effort or lack of respect for the first two months of your season is having a bad attitude, poor effort or lack of respect for two months and one day. It's never to late to do the right thing. It's a CHOICE young men and perhaps a choice you need to make each day, but never the less a choice.

Never said it was the scout that said "synergistic" too bad you can't read. :twitcy:
So, my question is, is the assistant helping the situation or making it worse? And would you just generalize it as being "I don't want to do something different than what Fred did"? You can tell that Niang has gone out of his way to say "its on the players" and "the players have to get it done" as if this is some may haven't bought in. Although, when teams go through what this one has, everyone is going to speculate stuff and probably not fairly or accurately. While I already knew this before, I can at least officially say, "I don't know what is all the struggles for this team nor how to fix it". But neither do most of people on here claiming they do.
I gotta call BS on most of this... These guys are the same guys and playing basically the same way they did last year. CSP runs the same type of offense and these guys are scoring buckets. Defensively it has been shown there has been "modest" improvement in certain things but nothing you have said is translating to anything overt on the floor. We've lost some games after losing a starter from a thin squad to begin with. Last year's squad lost some games and the team before that did as well.
This is not a crisis - it is our team showing their ceiling. Just because we WANT to be a national contender doesn't mean it's a coaches fault if we aren't. Especially in year 1 of a team with no depth.
That's interesting, because one of the announcers said Prohm mentioned how much of a team player Nader is because he is always at practice and always at practice, and my thought was, does that mean some players aren't coming to every practice and on time? And why are they starting? Seems like a good Monday night question.
I have yet to see any lack of effort and puhlease do NOT point to losses as lack of effort. Because then half the teams in america fail to live up to your standards each and every game.
Effort is not just given 4 hours a week when the lights are shining. Not showing up for team meeting on time is bad attitude, LACK OF EFFORT and lack of respect. It appears that perhaps the problems with this team has nothing to do with the 4 hours a week that they play the game. TEAMS are made when the crowd is not present.
I hope this is the more accurate/sensible way to look at it. Besides venting to a previous coach isn't probably something uncommon when things didn't end or begin the way you thought. How we move forward is what's important.
Not attacking you, but do we really know facts about some of these things? I guess I fall into the category that I see a lot more caring, effort, desire to win and fix things, frustration, feeling they let us and each other down, more than many are claiming.
