*** Official Kansas State vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[DSM4Cy]

Staring 0-18 in the face without a big comeback here. Football is firing on all cylinders while basketball is finishing the destruction of all progress Fred had made...I know we don’t have the $$ to fire Steve but the long-term costs to the program of seeing this through probably this full season and next will be brutal. Hate to say it as I never want to see our teams or coaches be unsuccessful, but this is just embarrassing. K-State lost to a D-II team!

The players don't seem to play very hard - is that Prohm's fault too?

Yes. Pull em

 

[ISUTex]

Maybe Prohm will have another God vision, and God will look him straight in the eyes and say....

"Steve, Dude, you need to resign."

 

[moores2]

This team is at full strength too!

Tre Jackson is hurt.

 

[Die4Cy]

Who is the leader on this team? I have no idea. Totally comatose out there, 1 through 5.

Absolutely! A head coach is also a motivator. Should they have to be? No, but your team is a reflection of you.

There are 350 D1 basketball teams. I'd bet that 300 of the 350 coaches could get more out of this group (really any group) than Prohm. 2/3 of DII coaches, 50% of DIII coaches and maybe 1/3 of high school coaches. 25% of AAU coaches, 20% of middle school coaches and 15% of YMCA 6-8 y/o coaches (teams are colors, running clock). Which was where my coaching career maxed out.

Actually it is.

Well all of you can start watching the WBB team, they are not perfect had a bad 4th qtr to lose to Iowa by 2, but at least they try.

 

[DurangoCy]

This is ******* brutal. I think most pick up street ball teams have more cohesiveness than this ISU team does.

Was going to say this earlier. Shot them up at the rec center 10 years ago and the short fat guy with back hair (not me of course) had our offense running better than this.

We could get a coach pretty cheap that could probably do this well. I guess the buy out is the issue.

 

[Jacktronic]

This is a real bummer, I really enjoyed basketball season.

 

[Mississippi Clone]

We are just awful. Solo looks bad, play Foster. I had held out hope for Prohm but I’m done. I know this is an novel take but JFC

 

[CycloneJoe6]

Actually it is.

Have to wonder how invested these players really are with Prohm seeing performances like this

 

[Tornado man]

Actually it is.

I think the players should share blame, as well as Pollard, who picked Prohm out of other candidates.

 

[Dandy]

JP after the game tonight because he likely doesn’t have the budget the fire Prohm

 

[tim_redd]

I don’t get it. Is The plan to throw up 3s and never actually design anything inside?

You are overthinking this. There is no plan.

 

[mplueg]

Can Ashley Joens play for the men’s team?!

 

[peachy]

Maybe the worst half of Cyclone basketball I have ever seen. A complete comedy of errors, against a team who was just blown out by a Div II team. Prohm has taken this once proud program to all time lows....

 

[ISUTex]

Man, I am one of those people that doesn’t think we can afford (financially) to fire Prohm after this year. However, I’d love Jamie so much if he could work the books and malemolências happen somehow... After losing by 30 to your in-state rival, I expected to see more from this team.

At this point, if you look down the road, can we afford not to fire him?
