So...so I can be lazy, not look it up myself...and bring it back to topic: how is Race's team doing this year? Successful on a state champion level?

They shouldn't win the state championship, but his team is doing very well.

I would only agree with that if its a case(opportunity) where he wants him and his wife to return to the south, closer to her family, etc.

Didn't he turn down the Alabama job? Maybe I'm not remembering correctly.

Coach Prom will be the next coach for Kentucky, probably next year

I think he interviewed and didn't get it

With UCLA playing the way they are. I would expect Indiana to throw some money at Alford before they go after Drew. I think if Alford turns them down. They Go after Drew. Time will tell how close we are to Race. He will probably just go to Minnesota and call it a day. Because for some reason we have trouble getting those Minnesota kids down to Iowa State. Minus Royce and Sully

Prohm will be the coach of Kentucky's new NBA team

No, the year after Brad "Earned Not Given" Calipari graduates.

Top 15 team in state probably. Would be surprising if they won State, though.

Can really see Prohm going to the NBA anytime soon.

Bulls might be looking for a new coach soon

Bulls might be looking for a new coach soon

But they just beat the Golden State Warriors!?

the words "iowa state" are never to be muttered in the bull's front office ever again.

Yeah.....who said Fred was having bad luck? He just got wins over Cavs (no LeBron) & Warriors ( no Durant). That's a few breaks at least. Lol

Bryan Heger was from Minnesota and went to the same high school as Race Thompson. Sure, he didn't play much and he graduated from high school over 30 years ago. However, he did shut down Stacy King during one game when Stacy King was hungover.

Well, I will say this. A lot of my friends that are Bulls fans were saying before they hired Hoiberg, "We need a coach who can beat Cleveland." Welp, Freddy has 6 wins in 7 games against them. You wanted it Chicago, you got it.

Well in his defense, the Warriors without KD are still pretty damn good, like 73 wins good.

Everyone knows that Andrew Bogut was worth at least 20 of those wins....

If you had said Harrison Barnes, I would have believed you.

There's a reason I didn't

For the most part I agree with this, however, some do stay despite big $'s being thrown their way...Coach K at Duke, Coach B at Syracuse, etc. Not putting Coach Prohm in this group, but all of the big names that stayed started out at Coach Prohm's level.

I thought coach K made like $9 million/yr, which is more than almost all NBA coaches made.
