Man, I don't think that statement is a fair one to make. NOBODY outside of the program has any clue what all went down with TL but I would be willing to wager there is a hell of a lot more to the story.

Isn't the point that a coaching staff brings in young players and then, under your tutelage, they get better year by year? This staff seems to be doing just the opposite. They bring in kids that don't improve that much and then they leave early. No way to build or maintain a program.
Well, I guess for every Lindell Wigginton there is a Caleb Grill. And for every Talen Horton Tucker there is a Zion Griffin. And for every Tyrese Haliburton there is a Terrence Lewis. Or were those three going to be one and done/early out pro's and/or lotto picks with or without Prohm?
Well then s***.........just recruit good and let em play........right? No need in coaching future lotto picks.
In a given game, who knows, but Iowa loses almost nothing from a really good team while UNI loses two starters. If Bohannon comes back and McCaffery gets his health figured out, they will be loaded.
Listen, I'm not going to judge a coach based on one instance of not being able to get a guy to buy in. The problem is it's not just Lewis. It's Lewis, Grill, Griffin, Lard, Leech, THT (to an extent), and McKay. Each one of them we could pass of as not the coaches fault but that's 6 guys in two years. I could also give a partial pass if the rest of the team looked to be super bought in and accountable but that's not the case either. I'd say that only Young and Jackson, this year were consistent in their attitude and effort. There's a disconnect somewhere. My opinion is that Prohm is in no mans land where he wants to be an authority figure and also a players coach. That doesn't work. You are either Fred or you're Eustachy because as soon as you aren't consistent, and I don't think Prohm is, guys not only don't trust you, they also don't know what you want.
I always find it fascinating that Hitler is the de-facto worst person ever when Stalin existed. I'd like to know how that came about.
History is written by the winners -- and the uncomfortable and extensive military and material support given to Stalin by the Western Allies in the 1940s. I doubt Americans collectively want to talk about how they took the side of the worst guy -- just the second-worst guy, but at least it was against the worst guy and hence the ends justified the means. Right?
...Right?
The various "elites" of American and Western European society always had way more of a soft spot for left-wing authoritarianism than right-wing authoritarianism.
The New York Times' Moscow correspondent won a Pulitzer Award (and long since revoked, thank goodness for that) for denying the Ukrainian genocide in 1932 --

I was in the “play Lewis more” camp for a long stretch of the season but what you just said is asinine. Yes, the team as a whole was bad on defense but his defense was an eyesore. Do you know how hard it is to stand out as a bad defender on a bad defensive team? At this part of his career his biggest concern should be finding a program that can either improve his defense or be able to camouflage him enough so he can send to scouts overseas.
Lewis needs to go to a team that plays a lot of zone defense. Blows my mind how bad he was in man to man defense. You would think someone with his athleticism he could stay in front of most D1 players.
I honestly think there are no more. Either bad original info. or changed info. I hope this post didn't jinx anything. I wouldn't bet either way, and I bet on anything.
He was so bad players would call for the ball when they had him on them.
