Uhh. Maybe hire him to have a role on the staff. But HEAD COACH!? Good lord.
I’d rather have a winning program full of guys who want to win than guys who post their rare highlights on social media in games they got blown out by nearly 40.
"Yeah, that's cause I really don't like Steve so I'll come waste 2 years"
Lol if we had a good coach who brought in NBA caliber players, we wouldn’t be losing by nearly 40.
How long does Pollard put up with this worthless coaching and players seem like they don't really care
I think what is going to be tough for Pollard is it is a difficult year to make a decision based on this year's results. No offseason, no time for the guys to work on playing together, injuries, one of the transfers had a health issue, players out with covid. Not saying the team would have been good without all those things but you can't say for sure. I have seen enough over his tenure that I would make a change but I can see how he could give him another year. Especially with the football team being so good it kind of gives the bball program cover. I think the conference is going to be good as usual next year but don't think it is going to be as good as this year which with improvement and adding in a healthy Foster, Hinson and Hunter combined with Bolton might be enough to get you back in the tournament.
I don’t agree with this. I think I’m more frustrated with the basketball team than I would be if football was bad. I guess it gives cover that people won’t drop their donations but I think it puts the feet to the fire that we shouldn’t accept this.
Yeah, I have to agree with you on this one. The way I see it is that football is somewhat like the shiny new toy, and basketball, at least for me, is the toy you've enjoyed playing with for years upon years. I grew up in Ames in the '80s/early '90's when the football program was as bad as this basketball season currently is, but it was bad every single season. I'm certainly much more a ISU football fan now than I used to be, but I still feel that emotional attachment to ISU basketball a bit more. Certainly I'm only writing for myself here, but I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of Cyclone fans in their forties (like me) feel the same way.
100%!
There is a tradition to ISU basketball, it’s not much compared to some, but for the past 30 years it’s brought a ton of joy and pride to many of us and Hilton, even in bad years, was a great place and always a chance for an upset and usually kept most games close/competitive . Clearly some of the loses in the past 3 years, at home, has left a real bitter taste and saw loses to teams that should never win here, not to mention some utter duds against conference foes.
What frustrates me as much as anything is the body language of the players under Prohm. They play with little intensity and lack any sense of urgency. The one time this season they did was the West Virginia game. It wasn’t a coincidence that was their best performance of the season.
Right? Football has always been bad. Or at least mediocre. Basketball hasn't.
If I move back to Iowa the first thing I’m doing is getting my BBall season tix back. This makes that much easier. I would go to every game no matter how bad we are.
A few years of ****** basketball just moves those of us who keep getting tickets to better seats. I currently have 3 in section 213 row 3. I’ll keep those. But I have 3 corner seats in row 12 or 13. I wouldn’t mind getting to row 8 or 9. Here’s hoping a bunch of people opt out.
