Solo mustered up 3 rebounds in the last 2 games. Sorry, that's not playing hard.
Anyone else hearing that JP has already decided Prohm is coming back?
- Thread starter Gunnerclone
- Start date
If Fred really wants to come back and donors are willing to step up to take care of the $$$ side of it without further damage to Pollard's admittedly wounded budget... and JP refuses because of some spat with Fred over past grievances, ones that Fred has gotten over if he really wants to come back to Ames like that...
JP is asking to be fired. Just signed his own death warrant. Campbell or not.
I certainly agree with this. I don't agree with the person who said Fred and Prohm's offense is the same lol. There is so much more going on in Fred's offense compared to Prohm's.
Exactly. It's the time when everyone feels they are more important and in-the-know than they really are. "My source this and my source that" only to have JP do something none of their "sources" saw coming.
I thank Solo for everything he's done and understand this season has been horrific and tough for him and the program, but last night I almost punched a wall after he literally stood there and watched his man miss a layup, get the rebound, and put it right back in.
Absolutely zero effort, and to make matters worse, Steve didn't give a s***. Those types of plays are usually the ones where you get pulled and chewed out by an assistant. You can tell our coaches know their fate.
I'm actually excited / horrified by this happening. I could see a guy coming out of no where that we all are excited about, while I could also see us hiring a guy that we all go "wait what? F***."
Just my opinion, but I don’t think Fred is enough of a sure bet to say that.
And i don’t think that’s an accurate description.
lets assume fred wants to come back but demands no nba buyout, doesn’t say he wants to recruit, and says Matt A will come with. Jamie would be stupid to take that deal.
Roommates, perhaps? That season seemed a perfect example of Bill Simmons’ theory that it’s ok to have one knucklehead on a team, but no more than one.
My dead grandpas third cousin says it’ll be Hoiberg with TJ as coach in waiting.
If it's wide open, how is it not a good shot? Then only way it wouldn't be is if a low % shooter is taking the shot. Like, if Kelvin Cato was taking open threes, then yeah, that would be a bad shot. Players need to make open shots. At least 40-50% of them.
Nonsense like this is why Fred leaving after having some success in Ames will forever be a problem for the athletics department at ISU going forward.
People are just too emotionally tied up in the guy. Fred doesn't want to be your idol, dude.
i heard last night on the baylor broadcast that they were almost dead last in FT attemps per game. their athletes drive the ball and then they just kick out for 3's. most of the time are open.
seems to work well for them. open threes are usually good shots for shooters who can shoot them
I think he might want that. But he shouldn’t be.
Yeah, I moved on a long time ago, and there are plenty of coaches that can have success in Ames.
The (unwanted) cult of personality around Fred is a problem.
Yep....and if Prohm is let go.....then there will be even more "sources" outside the CF space.....i.e. agents working their networks to either get their guys a look OR a new contract at their current place.
There was 1 play last night that was just complete trash by Solo. The ball bounced right next to him and he made 0 effort to get it, he should have sat the rest of the game.
And people trying to water down the 4 year stretch that Fred had as "having some success" are making expectations seem unrealistic. Fred didn't just have "some success". He had 4 straight 20+ win seasons (most of all time), had a 28 win season (2nd most of all time), won 2 Big 12 Tournaments in a row (record), and brought in numerous players who are now in the NBA and/or should get their jerseys retired.
