Who Should we hire After Prohm if he left after this year or next?

[Statefan10]

It shouldn't be controversial to note that Fred is a vastly superior coach to Prohm.

Fred's arguably the best Iowa State Basketball coach of all time..

Issue being that I've never said anything about Prohm...just basically that Fred coming back to ISU is not reality.

And you've provided 0 evidence to back that statement

Hoiberg was a much better coach than Prohm has been. Clearly you don't understand basketball to not blatantly see that with the eye test, so please check the stats that have been posted to several different forums comparing Prohm's and Hoiberg's ISU resume.

One thing I've always wondered about Fred...why does he need two ex-head coaches on his staff if he is so good? Flame away.

Whew. This is exhausting.

OK...here we go.

In my opinion, Fred Hoiberg coming back to coach at Iowa State is not realistic.

I'll add that waiting for that day is borderline psychotic, and unhealthy wishing at the least. In my opinion.

I will state a fact: I didn't mention anything about Steve Prohm vs. Hoiberg in this discussion, but got quoted like I did. That, in my opinion, comes across as having an odd, obsessive, agenda.

Almost every single one of Bill Belichick's staff is an ex-head coach. Lol

Where did I argue he’s not? Clearly record wise yes, but it’s not a huge margin like some of you want to believe.

4-5 wins a year on average is a pretty major margin.

 

[CyDude16]

It is a huge margin. That's why Fred was desired by several NBA franchises and Prohm is on his way to getting canned

No. Your stats show that.

 

[ISUCyclone06]

The only answer to this question is TJ, he is next man up- should’ve been already if not for Leath being a terrible micro-manager.

Nothing creative about that CyDude. It’s just called addition and division. I’m sure you can do it too if you put your mind to it.

In my opinion, a good leader knows when they need help and are comfortable augmenting themselves with those that will make them better.

Wrong.

The minute you put your mind to a post will be the first. I wait patiently for that time to come.

If you are building a team do you just want to fill it with people with no experience and no idea how things are done? Your question is pretty stupid.

Jon Scheyer.

Won 2010 Nat’l title playing at Duke. Won 2015 Nat’l title coaching at Duke. Coach K disciple, obviously. Currently the Associate Head Coach at Duke. Only 32 years old. From Illinois. Really good recruiter. Really smart, uses analytics. Steal him away and get him a great contract before Coach K retires and they promote him. He’s going to be a star in the college coaching ranks whenever he finally gets a head coaching gig.

Scheyer will be good but Capel is the next head coach at Duke.

 

[awd4cy]

Scheyer will be good but Capel is the next head coach at Duke.

I kinda doubt it. Capel hasn’t done anything noteworthy as a head coach.

 

[madguy30]

Scheyer will be good but Capel is the next head coach at Duke.

I'd be worried if I were a Dukie.

Dear lord, do I have to explain wins and losses to you?

Fred's record: 115-63 (.673) Conf: 49-39 (.557)
Prohm's record: 91-63 (.600) Conf: 36-41 (.473)

That is including the Fred's 1st season in which he inherited maybe the worst roster in the Big 12. This also includes Prohm's first 2 seasons in which he inherited one of the best rosters in the Big 12 via Fred Hoiberg. I can assure you if those seasons were omitted it would be even far more in Fred's favor.

Please show me on a timeline when Pollard chose Prohm over Hoiberg to be the coach at Iowa St.
You're creating a pointless argument.

Flame away, I will. Why would you not want the experience of a former head coach on your bench? How can that not be a good thing? If anything it's a testament to Fred that former head coaches are willing to come on his staff and be an assistant.
