It's possible that a replacement coach could have coached this team to 15-18 wins instead of 12-15 wins.
Maybe. Depends who they brought in with them. There would be no Bolton though

I don't think anyone on here is happy / accepting of this season. Most have the opinion that this sort of stuff can't keep happening, however understand why this has happened two times in the past 3 years. Each down year we've had, it's been coming off of years in which a large portion of our team has left.I just think it's funny that we are a school that has always prided ourselves on our basketball program. A good tradition, great fans. We've put double-digit players in the NBA over the course of the last 5 years.
Yet despite this, all the sudden some people on here want to act like it's some impossibility to sustain success here. Like it's an unrealistic expectation to expect better than the bottom of the Big 12 2 out of the last 3 years.
This is a good basketball job. This is a traditionally good basketball program.

That's not an excuse for Prohm either. It's on him to account for guys leaving early due to graduation / NBA, and so far he has had two seasons where he hasn't been able to put a high level team onto the court. I like Steve and think he's a good coach but it's his job to be able to figure out the problems. Next year could be and should be completely different, and if there's true signs of progression, I think Steve stays as the head coach. If the season resembles the current one, Jamie Pollard probably makes a move because fan support and excitement would certainly drop.
Oh it can get a lot worse..How much farther can fan support and excitement drop? People can't give tickets away.

Hypothetically, if we don't get above 10 wins, is Prohm gone? I 100% do not want that to happen and wish the best for him and the program but in your opinion would that warrant him getting fired?Just wait if we lose tomorrow

Seems like the way to defend us is to zone us and we are doomed - we can't make shots and you eliminate driving lanes which takes away pretty much anything we can do and OSU will zone us.I firmly believe even Okie State will win comfortably. All any opposing team has to do is shut down Tyrese. That’s it.
FIFYOh it WILL get a lot worse..
If we cant get to 10 then its time to move on.

I would probably have to agree. If we end up going 2-12 to end the year 10-19, I would say a move might have to be made. That'd put us into the mix of being one of the worst college basketball teams in the P-6. That'd be the worst season since 1989.If we cant get to 10 then its time to move on.
To your first point, I think it could bottom out quickly, and happen yet this season. That doesn't mean Pollard will act after this season, but I don't think there is some critical mass of fans that will remain in wait-and-see mode through next season. Not sensing that Prohm has that much good will in the bank with the average fan.How much farther can fan support and excitement drop? People can't give tickets away.
I'm still holding the opinion that next year's team is going to be night and day better than this year's team. I think if all 4 were currently on the team, they'd all be getting playing time and a couple may be even starting.FIFY
Texas Tech literally had no basketball history prior to Beard getting there. They were traditionally horrible.
If we are at the point as a program where we are saying "hey, temper your expectations if you think we can be like Texas Tech" then what are we even doing?
