Where would you rank Prohm far as big 12 coaches go.

He is now 35-35 in Big 12 regular season play over these last four seasons.

Right now I would peg him between six, seventh or eighth whether or not you think Kruger has lost his fastball. Dixon is tough comparison because his season results are definitely behind Prohm but is 5-1 head- -to-head against him. He is most definitely is ahead of Smart, today's result notwithstanding, and Boynton.

So maybe split the difference and put him seventh.

Right now it seems like if the game plan works out his teams look great but if things get junked up or they are out executing his teams he gets lost in the fog of war and can't make the necessary adjustments or they just come plain too late a la the Purdue NCAA game.

These types of polls right after a big loss are SURE to not get any outlier rankings based on emotion whatsoever. I also love that these useless polls are asked about only when things are bad. Try and find a poll asking this after we beat Kansas. Or at Texas Tech. Or at Kansas State. #USELESS

Other than substitutions, it’s hard for me to see any type of changes he makes during the game, when some might help.

This. He makes zero adjustments in game. I’ve said many times. I’m not on team ‘CSP is bad at coaching’. I’m on team ‘CSP doesn’t coach’.

Not trying to argue, but I'm seeing limitations in the players, especially the ability to really guard.

What adjustments would have made a difference today? Would not doubling down really helped with the way Texas was moving the ball and shooting?

Do people think Prohm is just fine with the players heading to the lane despite there not actually being a lane to get to?

ISU literally had 2 bigs available today. Did people want a 2 bigs look with no subbing?

I understand that Krueger has had a great career. But you do realize that Prohm has out-coached him 3 out of the last 4 times we've played that team.
Beard too. It's just a weird league sometimes. Beat guys like Kruger and Beard, lose to Dixon and Drew.
