We are seeing Prohm evolution

[swarthmoreCY]

There are a lot of MBB coaches that can be successful at ISU. The pool of sufficient coaches in FB is much smaller.

 

[carvers4math]

Not sure how Prohm could have gotten 40 minutes out of Holden and Young playing them the whole game. Holden would have fouled out. How many minutes could Young go quality? If he got tired, he would have picked up tired fouls too. Unless people want him to throw Carter or Stu out there in the Phog.

I thought the Cyclones would lose. Big. I was wrong.

But I love Steve Prohm.

That is all.

(Warning this fan drops a lot of F bombs)

Wish I could say glad we do not have fans like this, but now not so sure

Is it me or do some people take sports waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to seriously....

Lastly I always thought the guy living in his mom's basement was kind of this urban myth, well clearly the myth is no longer, this has got to be one of the biggest losers I have ever seen.

I'm going to go out on a very short limb and say this guy coaches the JV team at his local high school and acts like that on the bench.

I have a lot of sons, so I have seen a freshman basketball coach in our conference from an opposing school get tossed out of six freshman basketball games. WTF in a freshman game?

Did anybody else call who the "disagree" was on the OP before they checked?

Every board needs a few of these guys! That chip on the shoulder is impressive, seems as deep as his heels are dug in.

I hope (and feel pretty confident) he is wrong (just like I was about ISU chances v KU!) Prohm has some good guys coming in. Next year will be very different, and probably tough with loss of these seniors, but with Lard and Wiggington I think progress will continue. Not everyone gets a couple guards to the NBA from Murray State.

 

[SpokaneCY]

I honestly do not know what point you are trying to make

Can you synthesize for me?

My point was raw emotion (like Rhoads) is just one aspect and that alone doesn't lead you to success. From there you've rambled about Hoiberg and now are just typing raw emotion in front of all of Prohm's impressive accomplishments.

Mind you I never said Prohm's only positive was raw emotion.

You are linking CPR's raw emotion with CSP's raw emotion and you contend that's not enough. I agree and I attempted to point out there is WAY more to CSP than the raw emotion of CPR. I think CSP is a fine B12 coach and growing and has way more to offer than raw emotion.

 

[SpokaneCY]

Wait isn't that a good thing.

Its a great thing but there is a large subset saying its not good since we should be at the top based on starting 5 seniors guards. I think CSP is a wonderful coach and am thrilled to have him here.

Agree Spokane. Thanks for clarifying

One of these days one of his preDICKshuns will come true. You just wait! We'll all RUE the day!

 

[SpokaneCY]

I get a little wordy sometimes!

It is one game , ya a big win in very tough place, but please don't for one second think that prohm is going to win a big 12 title or coach in the elite 8. Prohm is not some newbie coach like Fred who learnt on the Job, he has experience and this is his best, which is not very good.

Todays win shows the potential this team has, which Prohm is not able to bring out consistently.
Let these close loses be reminder he is a terrible coach and this is his 11TH year coaching

Uhh, this is his 6th year as a head coach

 

[srjclone]

It is a past participle, did u flunk middle school english.

The past tense and the past participle can be written as either learned or learnt. but they aren't interchangeable, especially in the US.

My hope is that CSP realizes what the difference was in the 2nd half vs. the first half - and that was a CONSTANT defensive presence in the paint with either Holden or Young! We go killed in the first half with Prohm's favorite tiny line up (Babb at the 4, Burton at the 5), just like we did in the second half against Vanderbilt, Kansas, WVU, etc. KU shot 70% because most shots were from less than 3 feet out!! Steve needs to under stand that it is not about the 'bigs' running and scoring - it is about defending, altering shots, and - wait for it - offensive rebounding!!!!!

You gotta believe the other teams have something to do with it. Self is a fair coach, his players are on scholarship too.

Gotta agree with this. It will always be defense that spurs offense. Forcing turnovers and bad shots makes everything on the offensive end more natural. It increases their confidence and energizes them as well as increasing the chance for a layup or open transition three.

Can we just kick him for being an obvious, dumb troll? Or...where's the ignore button you all talk about?

Keep in mind that almost NONE of these guys, save Young and Jackson, are Prohm's guys. He had to learn how to change his style to fit those players.

Oh and we made a Sweet 16 last year, will almost certainly be back again this year, and are sitting in 3rd place in the best conference in college basketball right now.

JFC people are impossible to please.

Almost certainly going to be playing in the Sweet 16??
