I really was not going to weigh in on this whole string until somebody said something that I completely disagree with. Tech does not have more talent but they are better coached and play with a lot more intensity. Beard certainly coaches with a lot more passion. A week or two ago someone on here rated the BB coaches in the Big 12 and had Beard close to the bottom. I don't agree with that at all. He has taken a team that is very limited offensively and has them winning with defense.
Will Prohm ever win a championship?
- Thread starter Peter
- Start date
I just feel like Babb and Shayok have been in a funk for the past several games (yes, I know shayok had 20+ in one of those, and they are our leaders. We seem lost or a step behind on D half the time, and the possesions we do play great D we give up offensive rebounds, which is demoralizing
Prohm trying to teach Lard “character” is the problem with this guy.
Winning is ALL that matters.
Pretty boy looks (Fred) or nice-guy act (Steve) are meaningless without REAL BIG 12 HARDWARE.
Yes. Prohm is teaching softness. THANK YOU.
Someone else agrees we need to get rid of this guy.
Liked because if not us why not purple Kansas? That will tick the Beakers off more than any other team in the league
This.
Posters complain about our young team. Or our players are tired. Tech is younger and KU starts 4 freshman. Apparently we are the only team going through the grind.
Excuses and rationalizing.
So you'd say maybe Tech's players have toughness and can play defense?
Is that an aspect of a roster?
The last several weeks ISU has let an awful lot of guards get to the hoop...at some point it's more than just bad play.
That's not what I said or meant. I like our team and I overall like prohm. And I think we are struggling as a team in large part because I think babb and shayok have been struggling. Not the end of the world. Just hoping we close the year strong headed into the tourney
We need to aim higher than the mediocrity of consistently making the tourney or winning a Big 12 tourney “title”
Any coach who cant win a real conf title by year 3 needs fired. Bottom line.
Our pansy fans wont let us hite a real coach like Eustachy. I would settle for Bill Self or Bruce Weber since the other 9 schools in our conference love mediocrity.
Firing mediocre coaches is the only way to achieve EXCELLENCE.
Hoiberg wasn’t going to win one either.
What’s your point?

And you are SOFT. Winners like Eustachy eat your kind for breakfast.
Larry made the second weekend of the NCAA tournament once in more than 25 years of coaching.
That's your definition of a winner?
I didn't read all of this, but I assume people are arguing for Fred. He's not coming back. Ever.
If we go to the sweet 16 no one will remember this. Have a beer.
