That top 25 SMU team was a 6 seed because their conference was ****. So an 11 seed that wasn’t any good all year got a sweet 16 bid. So just stop.
Will Prohm ever win a championship?

We have been a #6 on CBS Sportsline on multiple different occasions the last two months. I see Palm has us as the last six seed this morning. It is absolutely not mediocre as measured nationwide and in the Power 5.
Well if we are applying your standards, the Royce team and the Clyburn team certainly did. And, of course the last team did as well because they lost to Baylor at home when they had the big 12 title in their grasp
I just enjoyed the teams because they were my school.
They went 27-6 in the regular season and were ranked in the Top 25 on Kenpom. Both off and def eff in the Top 40. They were absolutely terrible.
I think one could make a argument that the difference between a kenpom efficiency mark and actual record could be considered “coaching”. Kenpom calls it luck, but a lot of it is adjustments and end game situations.
It does show Prohm has assembled a good squad.
Because they played a garbage schedule, and achieved those numbers against a lousy conference.
Don’t strawman and deflect. Answer a question for once. Did any of Fred’s teams underachieve applying YOUR standards and what are those standards?
Easy to deflect much more difficult to state a position that might undercut your agenda.
That season could have been so much more though. There's now way to sugar coat it, that UAB loss was horrible and really tainted that season.
Hey, at least it is a positive trend ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Seriously, though. Lots left in the season. Too early for fan cannibalism.

You’re really bad at this. When pushed just a little you become apparent.
I honestly didn’t think any of those teams underachieved. Royce’s team has no point guard, and the Clyburn team had no luck, a year where the shots went in against us.
Those shortcomings led to inconsistent results, and low seeds.
But then, I didn’t have an agenda against Fred as the coach either, so I’m sure I could delve in further.
No no no. We have to defend Fred at all costs. Loyal son forever true, until it was time to go for three years.
But are they? I've been critical and pointed out what I see as CSP shortcomings. But I am not calling for him to be fired at all. I think most people criticizing him are in the same vein, just some with more spleen than others. Sometimes a LOT more spleen...
Is anyone seriously calling for him to be fired? Or for Fred to be re-hired? I keep seeing that accusation all the time, but don't recall anyone saying it explicitly.
Maybe we should have a thread "Who wants CSP fired" and then they can all raise their hands.
So why are you so critical of him, but want him to stay the coach? If he is so bad, I would think you would want him gone.
So the 14-15 season wasn’t underachieving. Could have sworn you had a different opinion a few years ago.
This is fantastic, but I feel like the ups and downs over/under the trendline should be exaggerated by about 10x LOL.
