So is McDermott. Circumstances can derail even good coaches.
Prohm is a Magician

That one questionable mid range shot was THTs 18-ft turnaround step back on the left wing. I didn’t realize that was really our only mid-range miss.
Talen was awesome against Illinois...
TS% = 76.1
He clearly was better than Ayo. Gee, maybe the best players in Illinois should consider Iowa State more, instead of being a catfish in the Little 14 like that.
But he quietly had an awful day against San Diego State...
TS% = 16.2%
Yeesh. He was 1-11 from the field and 2-3 from the line.
Nice shot chart there, LeBrick.
I think the players were so hyped for the Arizona game that they did run out of gas. That is not a knock on Prohm at all. There was nothing he could do. Those of you who are better athletes than I am know that feeling being so pumped and ready for a game, or a race, that you literally wear yourself out.
The way they played in the other two games shows that these players are in excellent condition.
Sorry to be so serious on the reply to your post
People have acted like missing the tournament this year and next year would not even have Prohm on the hot seat. If we miss the tournament this year that will be a disaster. Just look at how we’ve played so far. We are missing a third of our team and are still playing really well. Talent wise we shouldn’t be near the bubble. If we continue to play well we won’t have issues.
Basically my point was there are two groups who are full of themselves. Prohm isn’t a hall of fame coach and he isn’t an idiot. We should judge him by the results and not jump on the opposite extremes based on whether we win.
I think Prohm has his stuff together. He is a good coach.
Unfortunately, for many fans, the coach and players are only as good as their last game.
I’ve said it for many years now. He can recruite but lacks on Xs and Os. How many times out of time outs do you see them force a shot.
Where was all this hate when they beat Kansas? Get a grip.
That is a perfect example. Every team gets up for KU. This team has talent for sure but lack of fire on a lot of games. They got out efforted on last 2 games. A trend that has happened with prohm.
You can’t always say the problem with effort falls on the coaches. If the players don’t have that killer mentality and focus then it isn’t always the coaches fault. There’s a reason analysts always rave about Prohm; because he’s a good coach. The players seem to stop trying towards the end. If this team can give anywhere near the same effort they did against Kansas, we would have beat Baylor and K-State by double digits. The season isn’t over, but these two losses mean we need to win two big road games and hopefully this team starts with one in Lubbock this week. Win in Lubbock and beat a squad like Oklahoma on the road and it makes up for these two losses that we should have won.
Stop trying? That's ridiculous. It's a lack of execution. No idea what happened on the game winner, but clearly we were shading on the outside shooters too much to help protect the basket effectively.
I was mad as hell after the last two games. After calming down I have to say I want to see if this team Gels and can make a run at the tourney. Its better to be hot at the end of the year instead of the start. However, we are now in Big 12 season. This team better start getting it together and Prohm better figure out the end of games. he needs to watch a bunch of end of games basketball and figure out some plays besided Wiggs jacking it up from 40 feet.
Hey way to get to that 7th win in a terrible conference.
Jake needs a raise and an extension.
What kind of weird issues do you have to have to go dig up old threads that are positive when the team hits a rough patch? Some of the people on this site must have a hard time functioning in real life if they can't handle a couple losses for their college basketball team. Get some perspective. I'm not saying it wasn't disappointing to lose those games but there is a lot of season left.
