With Solomon Young's post game looking more and more refined. Are you surprised he wasn't a bigger part of the offensive game plan to start the year?

Two Questions:

1. When Haliburton is not on the floor, the team struggles with turning over the ball. Most of the time it's a bad pass, some times the dribbler loses control of the ball. Is this more of a player issue or a coaching issue? Can a coach fix the turnover issue relatively quickly or is that something takes an offseason to correct?

2. After listening to one of your podcasts, you had me intrigued on checking out a women's game. Convince me why I should travel to next Sunday's game.

Let's assuming Prohm goes back to Murray State after the season.
Does Pollard have the ability (or desire) to spend the money needed on a splashy hire? John Beilein may be out of a job soon. Thad Matta might be ready to get back into coaching.
Can Pollard open the checkbook to pay someone $3M+ or would he go back to the mid-major ranks (or just hire TJ right away)?

I second this question.

1.) As another poster mentioned, how hot is Prohms seat?

2.) As mentioned above, what kind of hire would JP be looking to make?

Deal with the Devil: To choose one of the following is to agree to terms that the other will never happen.

Pollard's new entertainment district -or- a football national championship?

I would also like to hear Chris's thoughts on this. Personally, i don't think it's all that related to Haliburton. His own TOs seem to have been spiking before he shut it down. It feels like more of a focus and patience issue (both from a team and individual standpoint), and those are natural challenges as the season started to feel like it was spinning out of control.
