Here is an analysis on ISU basketball that isn’t neutered like Chris’s:
Prohm is a horrid in-game coach.
We have seen good coaching in the recent past in Ames and it was not from Prohm.
Apathy has set in.
Apologists such as Macloney and Cat are trash and should be made to feel like trash as they call out critics.
This is our team and it’s not being run in an acceptable way.
Most basketball novices could get the same results out of this team. Being a coach does not make one an expert any more than somebody who moves up a corporate ladder.
Slow your roll a little, slim.
I don't know if presenting facts about the history of ISU basketball like records and NCAA tournament results and being realistic about what expectations the fan base should have makes me an apologist.
No one is happy with this year's results, but some of us try to be pragmatic about the situation.
Besides a questionable Final 4 in an 8 team tournament, ISU has one Elite 8 appearance. What are realistic expectations and what are not?
Also, you guys all act like you are owed something and are all experts on recruiting and coaching college basketball. None of you are owed anything and none of you know a thing about coaching D1 basketball. Criticism is fine, unfounded and false arguments just make people on here look like entitled bad fans.
Lastly, if you think that what a bunch of rubes post on a message board makes me feel like trash then you are delusional. I would also say that you calling me trash anonymously on CF says more about who the "trash" is than anything I have said to or about you. Pretty cool, tough guy.
