My perspective: I'm 53 years old and graduated from ISU in 1985. I was attending ISU basketball games before Steve Prohm was born. My eldest is a Senior at ISU this year.
People on CF continue to repeat that it's Steve Prohm's program and he says he's "building a program", which evidently justifies his actions in his mind. No and No. It's not your program CSP, you're simply a well-compensated custodian of a program that was already well-established long before you arrived. The program belongs to the university and the fans!
In this thread, I'm seeing people comment that Coach K, Pitino and Izzo wouldn't comment regarding a "coach's decision". Are you really comparing Steve Prohm to these three giants of the game? He hasn't even remotely earned that right.
In conclusion, I'm not throwing Steve Prohm under the bus and I'm hopeful his tenure at ISU will be lengthy and successful. Having said that, he obviously doesn't have all the answers and has underachieved with THIS team to this point in the season. He doesn't get a free pass and is answerable to the stockholders...
