Anyone else hearing that JP has already decided Prohm is coming back?
- Thread starter Gunnerclone
- Start date
Common sense should take over for you as the distribution between regular networks and ESPN+ is night and day. Don’t be stupid or argue for the sake of confrontation
I'm not sure that's how it'll work. And even if it did, I am not ok with an absolutely dreadful bball program, unless the football team is making the playoffs regularly. They ain't there yet, and likely never will be.
I’ll just say it, what’s the big hate for TJ about? What the hell is so wrong with picking someone who’s qualified and actually wants to be here? I get that he doesn’t have a “can’t miss” track record, but who the **** does? Anyone on that very short list likely doesn’t want to be in Ames long, if at all.
Jesus, I’m not even a TJ guy and have no idea if he’d be the right hire, but I do know that we could do worse by picking another hire akin to Prohm who just happened to luck into good players being left for him at each stop.
ISU and Hilton magic are special when the ball is rolling in the right direction, and I think TJ at least appreciates that. I vividly remember driving home from work listening to the local reaction on KXNO when Fred was hired. People were a mix of laughing in our faces/pissed, but you know what? He at least portrayed a love and belief in ISU, and that was infectious. If TJ is the hire then I’ll be getting my tickets again and won’t miss a game.

Perhaps McD would have eventually worked out if his kid came to play for him here in Ames instead of Creighton. (If CGM was still in Ames at that time.)
I don’t hate TJ and will absolutely support him if that is the direction Pollard goes. This site also won’t hear me whining about the decision. However, I would like to see Pollard go with a coach who‘s teams are known for defense and rebounding. I just don’t think TJ is that guy. If that is incorrect, I apologize.
The gripe with TJ is he inherited a good situation at SDSU and isn't currently doing so hot at UNLV. While I don't think he'd be Prohm here, I'm concerned he may not be a good coach either.
Your right things have changed since Fred left, Prohm has tanked the basketball program
I wish you were the guy that held me accountable for my budget at work
I don’t hate TJ I think he’s a nice guy. He is a good recruiter. I just haven’t watched his teams and seen anything from a basketball strategy standpoint that stands out. I’m ok if he’s the coach. I also think we can do better. Even with the last couple years sucking this is an attractive coaching job and we should be able to draw high level coaching talent.
I know I differ with some on this and I understand the argument on both sides. I get TJ can recruit to Ames. I also think there are a LOT of people that you can put on the staff that can recruit to Ames. I’d rather see a head coach that understands Xs and Os and player development and can put some guys on his staff that go get talent.

The "wants to be here" thing is incredibly tired.
It's a job. Whoever comes in probably does 5 years. That's college coaching, and it's fine.
I like Dennis Gates at Cleveland State. Tons of high level coach experience as assistant in the NBA and ACC. Second year as head coach for CSU and they are tied for first in the conference. Was conference COY his first season. Winning at a historically bad program is always impressive.
Bowie didn't start on his senior day, and Holden and Stu didn't even play.
I didn't think he'd always had the seniors start.
I'm guessing that he wanted to give the seniors something since it had been such a tough year.
I've went to the last 2 home games and despite what some say on here, the players are playing really hard. They are diving on the floor and getting after it on defense and really seem to be trying their damnedest. They may not be good enough and they may not be getting good coaching, but they certainly have not mailed it in. I hope that all of them (coaches and players) will some day look back on the ****** two win season that was full of empty arenas and postponed games and be proud of the fact that they continued to go to work.
How do we know this? Maybe Otzelberger is mad at Pollard for passing on him in favor of Prohm.
My gopher friends are saying that gopher AD has informed little **** on Friday that he is gone after the last game.
Seems like they may be after Brian Dutcher, Ryan Saunders, Eric Musselman, Craig Smith, Medved...
