A competitive raise is needed now but an extension should come later if we are decent again next year.
Underwood to Illinois - Prohm Now Lowest Paid
- Thread starter Clones15
- Start date
I'd like to see what he does without guys named Monte, Naz and Matt next year.
Both Prohm and Campbell seem happy in Ames especially with the family vibes.
The only thing I worry about is that both are a few states away from their hometowns.
People move home sometimes after a few years like Cuonzo Martin.

He's been here two years so you at least need to extend him two.
You have a lot better idea of what you have with him now, so no extension would be ridiculous.
Yeah, with 3 years left on the deal, you HAVE to extend him - that becomes a recruiting issue. Raise now with the understanding that the big one will come after next year if performance continues at a high level once Hoiberg's recruits are gone.
But if other schools are going to throw the checkbook at him, that obviously changes things.

He deserves a raise based on the results he's gotten so far. However, we can't get carried away either. Next year is his first with his own squad.
I'd give him a raise, but hold off on an extension until he proves he can win with his own players. If you're going to extend him though definitely give him 10 years at an excessive salary. Those are the best contracts.
Raise and give him another year or 2. The extension is for recruiting.
I agree with this, except I'd say only a two or three year extension maximum. He definitely deserves a nice raise, but it remains to be seen whether he can recruit sufficiently enough to win with his players. He inherited a wonderful situation with an experienced team (last year's team started 3 seniors and 2 juniors or 3 juniors and 2 seniors depending on the rotation) that basically ran itself and self-regulated to some extent. This year he has had more control, but it's still a senior-dominated team with great senior leaders and guard talent. College hoops is a guard's game.
Let's not give him the 5 or 6 year extension yet. I think a nice raise and a moderate extension is the prudent thing to do right now. Revisit in two years and see how the team has performed since then.
2 year extension, at least 2 mil seems fair. He's proven he can coach, and he's proven he can recruit.
Give him a reasonable raise and extend so he's on contract for another 3 years, minimum. And go ahead and try to put in a nice penalty owed if he leaves early in there.
On another note, back when we hired Prohm, I liked Underwood but had 2 reservations: that he wouldn't mesh well with the Niang team and that he might bolt after a couple of years (though thought it would be KSU). Really glad we're not in that situation.

Prohm needs to be in the top half of the Big 12 in pay IMO.
2.2 per thru 2022 seems about right.
I'd be shocked if it weren't already done, just waiting for signatures after the season.

For those that were asking: http://www.amestrib.com/sports/men-s-basketball-isu-releases-prohm-s-contract
Prohm gets an annual $50k raise, and his two-way buyout is 50% of remaining contact. He got $50k for winning the B12 tournament, $50k for reaching NCAA tournament, and will get $25k for each win. Extra $250k for the Final 4 that we'll reach this year.
There are some good ideas on here, but Pollards hand are basically tied by 1) the coaching market (that is paying Underwood and freaking Cuonzo Martin $3m/year), and 2) whether or not Prohm/family like Ames.
